Cook County Judge William Raines has been taken off the bench of his felony courtroom after he was caught on a YouTube livestream last weekAccording to an order signed Tuesday by Chief Judge Timothy Evans, Raines has been reassigned to “restricted duties or duties other than judicial duties,” which generally focus on paperwork. He also must undergo sensitivity training and gender bias counseling, and the matter will be referred to the Judicial Inquiry Board.
Bonjean participated in animated arguments Jan. 11 regarding the case of Roosevelt Myles, who is trying to get his decades-old murder conviction dismissed. Raines cut the feed after he noticed the video was still being publicly livestreamed to YouTube. The video was available for public viewing on YouTube until Thursday before being marked as “private.”
