Baldwin City judge suspended, may be fired
BALDWIN CITY — Baldwin City Municipal Judge John Cochran has been suspended without pay after a confrontation with a Kansas City television crew.
Cochran told the KCTV reporter who
put a camera in front of him to "get that out of my face or I'll stick it where the sun don't shine."
Cochran said he reacted strongly to the reporter because he was being wrongly accused of falsifying a report to the state about his son, who was applying for a Kansas law license.
Baldwin City Mayor Ken Hayes called Cochran's actions filmed last Thursday by KCTV-TV "highly unprofessional." He said the city council's approval Monday night of Cochrans' suspension was meant to give him the opportunity to resign or be fired.
"But I said they'd have to fire me first," Cochran told the Lawrence Journal- World.

Officials request judge to jail nightclub owner
CHICAGO — A day after 21 people were killed in a nightclub stampede. Chicago officials asked a judge Tuesday to jail the owner for at least a year for allegedly operating the place in defiance of a shutdown order.
The city asked Cook County Circuit Judge Daniel Lynch to impose the criminal contempt of court sentence on Dwain Johann Kyles, saying he ignored the judge's previous order to shut down because of building code violations that included failing to provide enough exits.
"You don't have a right to disobey a court order until someone catches you or until a disaster happens," Mayor Richard M. Daley said.
