Arrest Ordered for Stevenson’s Ex-Running Mate
Circuit Court Judge Morris Topol issued an arrest warrant today for Janice Hart, a Lyndon LaRouche supporter who captured the Democratic nomination for secretary of state, when she failed to appear in court for a hearing.
Hart, 31, is facing a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct stemming from an incident last May when she is reported to have disrupted a lecture by the Archbishop of Milwaukee by handing him a piece of raw liver.
Topol said her failure to appear for the hearing indicated that she was “thumbing her nose at the court.”
Susan Johnson, a spokeswoman at LaRouche’s National Democratic Policy Committee headquarters in Chicago, said Hart is in West Germany, campaigning for Patriots for Germany in the June 15 parliamentary elections.
