The leak of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin remains a mystery after 165,000 US dollars

Madison-Ein financed $ 165,000 in the taxpayer about how an unpublished order from Wisconsin's Supreme Court was passed on 10 months ago to a news reporter who was not responsible.

However, the private detectors stopped by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin came to the conclusion that

The investigation was initiated in August after Wisconsin Watch, an online news agency who reported in June that the state's highest court intended to hear a lawsuit of the planned parenthood of Wisconsin, which the court asked to explain a constitutional law to abortion access. So far, the investigation has cost 165,740 US dollars and, according to a court spokesman, was drawn from the two -year budget of the Supreme Court.

Wisconsin Watch's report was based on a draft contract that he had received from unnamed sources. All seven judges sentenced the leak.

“Today, the entire court was shocked to find out that a confidential design document was supposedly passed on to the press. I contacted the law enforcement authorities in order to carry out a complete examination,” said Ziegler in a statement at that time. “We are all behind this study to identify the source of the obvious leak.”

It is unclear who carried out the investigation. The report states that 62 people were interviewed during the entire investigation that started seriously in October, but many of these names are reduced.

Ziegler and a spokesman for the state court system did not immediately respond to questions from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to search for more details.

The investigators spoke to judges, judicial staff, representative of the Supreme Court, interns and other employees who have accessed the court's chambers between June 13 and June 26.

“The investigation came to the conclusion that the leak of the design for the media was probably deliberately. However, no person could be identified as responsible for the leak,” the investigators wrote.

The probe can resume when the investigators receive new information, they said.

The report states that the draft of the contract was sent only before the leak outside the court's official e -mail system when Justice Ann Walsh Bradley forwarded a copy of the design to her legal employee, who then forwarded the command to Walsh Bradley's personal e -mail address.

The investigators described the move as the “standard operating process with weapons” by Walsh Bradley.

The investigators said that the investigation was “significantly disabled” by missing data that would show which was accessed on websites and when and by whom.

The present submission of the planned parenthood came days after the district prosecutor of Sheboygan County, Joel Urmanski, had submitted a petition to avoid an appellate court and to ask the state's highest court, to decide whether a judgment of a judge of the Dane County from 1849, which indicates a law on a unanimous law, does not apply to consensual procedures.

The Court must have made a decision on the matter.
