First Woman of Color Appointed to Rock County Circuit Court
[transcript] We're hearing from the first woman of color to be appointed to the Rock County Circuit Court. Governor Tony Evers made the announcement last week, placing Ashley Morse in the judge's seat. Since the news came out, Morse tells us she has been reflecting on the kind of judge she wants to be. Making sure that people that come to my courtroom and when they leave my courtroom, hopefully they feel seen, heard, you know, believe that they've been treated fairly, even if, you know, the decision might not ultimately be one that they like. She said her experience as a public defender gives her a unique perspective. Morse will take over the position from Daniel Dillon next week.
