Shocking video from court shows the moment Hunter goes limp with shock and an officer physically drags her across the room and out to prison
An Ohio courtroom erupted into utter chaos when a former judge was sentenced to six months in jail for using her position to help her brother - as supporters erupted in anger and the shocked judge had to be physically dragged out of the room.

Former Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter was sentenced to six months in jail on Monday in Cincinnati for a 2014 conviction of felony interfering with a contract.

Hunter, who was elected in 2010 and suspended four years later, illegally passed her youth corrections officer brother confidential documents as he faced a disciplinary hearing and his job was on the line in 2013. 

On Monday, Hunter seemed to be paralyzed by shock upon hearing the sentence and with her legs locked straight, was dramatically dragged out of the court room by an officer.

More than two dozen protesters, many wearing 'Justice for Judge Tracie M. Hunter' T-shirts opposed her sentence and one woman was arrested for trying to block officers from handcuffing Hunter in the courtroom.

Shocking video from the courtroom shows Hunter get up after hearing her sentence, willing to hand herself over to officers, before she became paralyzed with shock and had to be dragged out of the room.

In the video shouts break out from the court and a protester is seen running towards the defense table towards the officers to block them from cuffing Hunter.

Hunter then seems to go limp as an officer helps her stagger to the front of the court room.

Hunter, her face blank with shock, then gives up on using her legs and the officer is seen dragging her across the room. 

The protester who ran towards the officers is also seen being taken away in handcuffs.
Elected to Hamilton County Court in 2010, she was suspended in January 2014 after she was indicted on eight felony counts of including unlawful interest in a contract in her brother's case and unrelated charges of tampering with evidence and forgery.

That year she was convicted of felony interfering with a contract for improperly passing information on to her brother Stephen Hunter, a youth corrections officer, when he was at risk of losing his job. 
On July 7, 2013 Stephen Hunter allegedly struck a young offender while on the job.
His boss recommended he be fired and Tracie Hunter then improperly demanded and received documents about the hit teen and passed the confidential papers to her brother in an effort to help him keep his job as he faced a disciplinary hearing, according to prosecutors as per NBC. 
Monday's sentence comes after several appeals were exhausted.
Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Patrick Dinkelacker said in court Monday that he had received numerous letters and recommendations urging that Hunter not be incarcerated. 
In the end, he ordered she serve time, sparking outrage and disapproval in the courtroom.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
