The obstruction charges against Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan are in the hands of a federal jury after the four-day trial in the illegal immigrant escape case concluded in a federal court on Thursday.

Both sides delivered closing arguments in the federal obstruction trial of Hannah Dugan, painting the Milwaukee judge in starkly different ways.

To convict Dugan, the jury's vote must be unanimous. Given the massive publicity, both sides agreed to send out a high number of questionnaires for prospective jurors to answer. Initially, 120 went out, and then another 50. For comparison, usually about 50 go out in a case.

The Milwaukee judge was charged with obstructing federal immigration agents, who were trying to arrest a man who had appeared before her on a battery charge.
