[Applause] On July 22nd, 2019, former Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracy Hunter was forcibly removed from an Ohio courtroom after being sentenced to 6 months in jail for a felony conviction. The incident captured on video showed Hunter going limp and being dragged out by deputies as supporters protested loudly in the courtroom. Tracy Hunter, the first African-American woman elected to the juvenile court bench in Hamilton County, Ohio, was convicted in 2014 of unlawful interest in a public contract. The charge stemmed from her sharing a confidential document with her brother, a juvenile court employee facing disciplinary action. Her attorneys argued that the prosecution was politically and racially motivated, but her appeals were ultimately denied. After exhausting her appeals, Hunter appeared in court for sentencing. Upon hearing the six-month jail sentence, she went limp and refused to cooperate with deputies. As a result, she was dragged out of the courtroom, an event that was widely publicized and sparked significant public reaction. Three, you are to do six months in the Hamilton County Justice Center. Credit one day. Mr. Deputy can take her away. A chaotic scene inside a courtroom after a judge announced a six-month jail sentence for former juvenile court judge Tracy Hunter. It was back in 2014 that a jury determined Hunter illegally helped her brother, who was a juvenile court jailer in a disciplinary hearing and found her guilty of unlawful interest in a public contract. Hunter served approximately 75 days of her sentence, receiving credit for time served and for ministering to other inmates. She also paid $34,000 in court costs and completed court-ordered community service. Former Judge Tracy Hunter is about to be released from jail. We're going to go now to our very own Katherine Robinson, who is waiting outside the Hamilton County Justice Center to see what's going on. Judge Tracy Hunter just took her first step out of the Hamilton County Jail for the first time in 76 days after she was first sentenced to jail in July. First of all, I just want to say good morning and thank you to everyone who showed up to greet me this morning. The book of Acts 16:es 35-37 states that when it was daylight, the magistrates sent their officers to the jailer with the order, release those men. The jailer told Paul, "The magistrates have ordered that you and Silas be released. Now you can leave. Go in peace." But Paul said to the officers, "They beat us publicly without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens and threw us into prison. And now, do they want to get rid of us quietly? No. Let them come and escort us out." As much as I personally preferred to be released from jail quietly out of a hidden entrance, I consulted God through prayer like I always do. And he challenged me with that scripture. I interpreted it to conclude that like Paul, just as I was thrown in jail publicly for the entire world to see, I must be released publicly and walk out of jail in the same way, but on my feet. Yeah. Her case remains a focal point in discussions about judicial conduct, political influence, and racial dynamics within the legal system. As of now, Hunter has not returned to judicial office. She continues to be active in her community as a pastor at the Western Hills Church of the United Brethren in Christ and participates in various community service activities. Thanks for watching.
