Opinion: Brittany Mika Walks Again After Lightning-Fast Plea Deal Brokered by Then-ADA Rosa Delgado

Brittany Mika, 31, of Kenosha
(Kenosha County Sheriff)

KENOSHA, Wis. – On June 13, 2025, Rosa Delgado walked into the courtroom and handed chronic criminal offender Brittany Mika her softest sentence yet.

The hearing lasted mere minutes. The resolution took barely a month. And the outcome? A noncustodial probation deal across five criminal cases, with most of Mika’s charges—including hate crimes and numerous bail jumping counts—dismissed outright.

Now, just months later, Delgado has been promoted to Deputy District Attorney.

A Pattern of Mercy for the Habitually Unaccountable

Mika, 31, has built a rap sheet that most prosecutors would consider disqualifying for deferred prosecution—let alone repeat probation. She’s been arrested or charged for:

  • Disorderly conduct, often violent or hate-motivated
  • Bail jumping—over a dozen counts across multiple cases
  • Criminal damage to property
  • Threatening individuals with weapons
  • Carrying a concealed weapon
  • Repeatedly missing court appearances

Despite this, Delgado signed off on an agreement that treats Mika like a first-time offender.

June 13: A Masterclass in Leniency

Most misdemeanor cases in Kenosha County take 12 to 48 months to resolve. But Brittany Mika’s newest case (25CM580), filed in early May, was resolved in just five weeks—with nearly every charge either dismissed or neutralized.

Here’s what Delgado agreed to that day:

Case 25CM580 – Bail Jumping x2
Counts 3 and 4 were dismissed and read in.
Mika pleaded guilty to counts 1 and 2.
12 months’ probation, with 41 days’ sentence credit if revoked.

Case 22CM1265 – Resisting and Property Damage
Deferred agreement revoked.
Guilty of disorderly conduct.
12 months’ probation. 3 days credit if revoked.

Case 23CM1094 – Resisting, THC Possession
Deferred agreement revoked.
Guilty of disorderly conduct.
12 months’ probation. 3 days credit if revoked.

Case 24CM1190 – Bail Jumping x8, Property Damage
Deferred agreement revoked.
Guilty of disorderly conduct.
12 months’ probation. 65 days credit if revoked.

Case 24CM1191 – Hate Crime, Bail Jumping x4
Deferred agreement revoked.
Guilty of disorderly conduct.
12 months’ probation. 65 days credit if revoked.

All sentences are to be served concurrently. No restitution was requested, and there was no discussion of jail time. Court costs were imposed, and Mika was ordered to provide a DNA sample.

And Just Like That—It Was Over

This plea agreement wiped out years of alleged misconduct in one stroke. Five active cases were bundled together. Over a dozen criminal charges were dismissed or reduced. No victim statements were read in court. And Delgado, then still an ADA, quietly ushered the deal through.

To say the resolution was swift is an understatement. It was practically invisible.

Now Deputy DA Delgado, Her Record Deserves Scrutiny

Rosa Delgado’s promotion came shortly after this high-profile slap-on-the-wrist sentencing. For those who had hoped the Solis administration would chart a new, tougher path than its predecessor under Michael Graveley, Delgado’s handling of Mika’s cases feels all too familiar.

This isn’t reform—it’s regression.

Delgado had the authority to pursue revocation of Mika’s previous deals. She could have pushed for jail time, or at minimum ensured a plea to the most serious offenses. Instead, she neutralized them.

The Public Deserves Better

The job of a prosecutor is not to protect defendants from consequences. It’s to serve justice—and justice demands accountability. Mika’s case sends the opposite message: if you delay, dodge court, and rack up enough charges, you might just get probation anyway.

The Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office is now led by Xavier Solis. He has the power to fix this—to make it clear that the era of soft deals and endless second chances is over.

Let’s hope he’s paying attention. Because the public certainly is.

  1. This ADA Delgado is a sad excuse. Why is she letting this woman off so easy. She is a menace to the city of Kenosha.
    Xavier please have a talk with this ADA for being soft on crime punishment.

    1. Yes she has always been soft on criminals. I watched her allow a man who tried to kill me and was Domestically violent with me and women before me and now a women after me. Walk out…mind you he had a rap sheet 2miles long of other abuse charges,drugs,and relocations before this. They went to court and gave him 2years with held sentence that he broke 4 times within the first 4 months and then 1 year later whooped his girl friend and was given a slap on the wrist again. Its disgusting and then when theu kill people or really hurt someone they are the first to be in shock like “omg he is a monster how did this happen?” She is the reason things like this happen and why people keep reoffending over and over. They just pick up the money every time. It’s disgusting that victims have to watch people like this let people walk the streets over and over.

  2. I suspect that the original charges were BS to begin with, e.g., weak out of the gate, proof problems, back-tracking accusers, duplicative charges, etc. The problem is that the DA’s office charges too much, not that they’re too lenient after charging. There needs to be more screening over there. It’s very possible that Rosa D. made the best out of a bad situation that was not of her own making.

    1. It looks like defendant did 65 days in jail before sentencing. Probation over her head if she screws up again (=more jail time). Sentence seems light but there may be more to this train wreck’s story.

  3. What am I missing?

    It seems that a few weeks ago everyone on this site was commenting how great this person is and that DA X made the bestest choice in the history of the DA’s office by making her his number 2. Were people wrong then or now? The heroes and villains on this page trade roles so often it is hard to keep track

    1. Can’t opinions change as the evidence changes? Or do you want people to have their views fixed in cement? I think you’re a goof.

      17

      1. She can’t make decisions without the Deputy’s approval. Deals need to be approved, and she has always been very careful about that

        4
        4
  4. At the very least, there should not have been a promotion for that silliness and that is something that needs to be corrected if possible. She needs to be demoted to assistant assistant clerk

    1. C’mon, don’t be ridiculous. Gravely let Baby River’s killer go by refusing to prosecute, and you’re blaming Delgado for offering something that had been previously approved by the former Deputy DA, Bergoin? Try to make sense. Mr. Solis will surprise you soon by pressing the charges that Graveley and the dikes refused to file once the detectives completed the investigation and identified who did it.

      5
      2
  5. Prosecutors should be forced to type a little explanation as to why any case is resolved as it was . That should be shown in ccap. So we alal know

    1
    2
  6. Maybe a closer look is in order. I’m going to make a guess here that Mike has mental health issues. The list of misdemeanors she committed squares with that. But is the disposition that lenient? Maybe not. A deferred prosecution agreement was revoked and she spent 65 days in jail which is a couple of days short of a 90 day jail sentence. The judge — who accepted the plea bargain — placed her on a year’s probation. If she messes up and gets revoked on probation she faces up to two and one half years incarceration (minus sentence credit). That’s a good chunk of time hanging over her head and any inmate will tell you county time is harder than state time.

    4
    1
  7. And unfortunately, local law enforcement will continue to have to deal with her on a regular basis, while she continues to cause repeated issues in the community, due to her drug addiction, mental health issues, and the incompetence of the current DA’s office!
