Former juvenile judge Tracie Hunter had to be dragged out of court after she was ordered to serve six months in jail following a years-long legal battle stemming from a felony charge for illegally helping her brother keep his county job.
She was OK in court until the judge passed down her sentence and that's when Hunter fell limp into the arms of a deputy, who hauled her away as her supporters yelled that she was being treated “like an animal.”
Hunter is being housed at the Hamilton County Justice Center’s medical facility, likely because of the effects of a car crash from three decades ago that caused severe injuries and she will be evaluated to determine if she can participate in early release programs, according to the local reports.
