ROFLMAO. Really? You expect us to believe that
you have access to the statements from the Capital Police, huh?
Because we all know those statements haven't been made public.
Or you are just repeating imagined crap made up and passed on by right wing blogs?
I'll go with the second - you are simply repeating imagined right wing blog crap that any of us can read on the internet - and read the public statements given Sunday by Prosser and Bradley, thanks.
You can stick to the right wing screeching spin machine about how Bradley threw her neck into Prosser's hands.
Quote:
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser has issued a denial of witness reports that he grabbed fellow justice Ann Walsh Bradley by the throat on June 13. The altercation reportedly erupted in Justice Bradley's chambers during a heated discussion of Governor Scott Walker's controversial budget bill, which curtails collective bargaining rights for public workers.
Prosser says that the allegations against him "will be proven false" after a "proper review of the matter and the facts surrounding it are made clear".
Justice Bradley has issued a statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel stating that "(t)he facts are that I was demanding that he get out of my office and he put his hands around my neck in anger in a chokehold". Anonymous sources have confirmed Bradley's account, but spoke on condition of anonymity based on the need to maintain professional relationships. Other sources loyal to Prosser say that Bradley charged him with her fists raised and he grabbed her by the throat in an effort to defend himself.
Bradley responded to that version of events in an interview, saying, "You can try to spin those facts and try to make it sound like I ran up to him and threw my neck into his hands, but that's only spin."
She has announced her intention to pursue a formal complaint against Prosser. "Matters of abusive behavior in the workplace aren't resolved by competing press releases. I'm confident the appropriate authorities will conduct a thorough investigation of this incident involving abusive behavior in the workplace."
Prosser has a history of violent outbursts of anger, particularly against women justices. Last year, in a heated exchange, he called Chief Justice Abrahamson "a bitch" and vowed to "destroy" her. Bradley was present for that exchange and says she thought of contacting law enforcement personnel at the time. In an interview from March of this year, she expressed her concerns about Prosser's anger issues, saying, "It's been going on for years off and on".
