Kenosha Court Commissioner Allegedly Botched Hearing, Violated Defendant’s Rights
KENOSHA, Wis. – Court Commissioner Alexandra Smathers is facing sharp criticism from a veteran criminal defense attorney who alleges she presided over a botched preliminary hearing so riddled with constitutional violations that felony charges may now have to be thrown out. In a recently filed motion, Attorney Michael Cicchini asserted that it was “lawless chaos” after Smathers allowed a felony preliminary hearing to proceed without advising the defendant—whose name KCE is withholding—of his constitutional right to an attorney. Cicchini, who has published extensively about the preliminary hearing and criminal procedure, declined to comment for this article. The State presented its case. The defendant cross-examined the State’s only witness—all without legal counsel. The commissioner then heard arguments from the prosecutor and the defendant. Only then did Smathers acknowledge her mistake: “I

Residents Slam Salem Lakes Fire Department Over Surprise EMS Bills, Allegations of Poor Leadership
SALEM LAKES, Wis. — Can you be billed hundreds of dollars simply because someone else thought you might be hurt? Many residents in Salem Lakes and neighboring Paddock Lake say yes — and they’re furious about it. Kenosha County Eye has received multiple complaints about ambulance bills issued by the Village of Salem Lakes Fire Department, including charges for situations where the person being billed was neither injured nor treated. In one recent case, a resident told KCE they were billed more than $500 for a “suspected injury” — even though they were not hurt, declined treatment, and never requested emergency assistance. Someone else had called 9-1-1 on their behalf. “I didn’t ask for an ambulance, I didn’t get treated, and I still got a bill,” the resident said. “It
