I read that the judge was found not guilty because the prosecution couldn't prove it was a gun. All they had was video evidence.
It makes me wonder if the employee would have been found guilty if the original judge presided over the trial.
Wasn't just video, two deputies were there and said it was a gun. They said they didn't arrest him immediately because they weren't sure whether judges could carry in the courthouse or not.

He had a bench trial as well, and the judge ruled in his favor.

Me too. What an ordeal.

The article notes that The judge at-his first trial was yanked off the bench because he was facing his own charges For dropping a handgun in the lobby of the Chicago courthouse. I’m pretty sure I posted about that somewhere here but I’m on my phone and it’s too hard to search for things.
