Kim Zinke Motion to Dismiss Criminal Charges Denied — 24 Comments

  1. The State has invested a whole lot of time in this case.

    IDK if they’ll offer her a no felony plea.

    Perhaps they’ll offer one felony with probation and no jail time.

    If she did what the State says she did, she should lose her pension and be barred from ever working in LE again.

  2. Everybody deserves a chance.

    If guilty, she should get a hefty fine, probation and the misdemeanor conviction.

    Sorry, but I do not like this lady at all but she deserves a chance at redemption too.

  3. CP She collected a years worth of salary after she got caught.

    She is an officer of the law and is held to a higher standard.

    What would happen to average Joe, if he did this??

  4. If they had never been in trouble, I’d expect misdemeanor conviction and probation.

    Believe me, with all my heart, I do not like this lady.

  5. Have they run out of forms for the 22nd judicial circuit?

    I applaud not wasting paper, but how about some white out?

  6. CP I don’t feel sorry for her at all.

    I feel sorry for her kids.

    Whatever happens, she should not collect a pension.

    I think she thought she was above the law because of her husband.

  7. Wait.

    The name of the Circuit Clerk that appears on yesterdays form is Erin Cartwright Weinstein, who is Lake County Circuit Clerk.

    But a McHenry County Court Case number was used.

    And Judge Patricia Fix, who also appears on the form, is a McHenry County Judge.

    Maybe someone knows the story.

  8. Perhaps the McHenry County Case, or some portion of it, is being held in Lake County.

  9. Maybe justice will be served this time….sure wasn’t when Marlene was let go by by Mr. “Justice is Ethics and Truth in Action” Kenneally……..

    Voted for you once, but will not make that mistake again !

  10. Mark – It is assigned to a Lake County Judge and to be heard in McHenry since the arrest was in McHenry, etc. It is confusing because info is not as it should be. Below is the MCHENRY COUNTY COURT LISTINGS.
    There was a hearing on the 19th in McHenry County on Monday and too many thought it was in Lake. Not so.

  11. PS they put ZZZ because they are not sure what McHenry County trial room will be available.

  12. I hear the kids are with Andy. Nice mother she is. She should get the book thrown at her.

  13. Anyone else wonder what happened to a ‘speedy’ trial?

    Lawyer greed?

  14. CP , you assume she hasn’t already had a second chance .

    She’s had many chances, one being when she was allowed to resign from McHenry County.

  15. CP is correct.

    She resigned from the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

    She had a choice and that is the one she chose.

    She was a deputy in McHenry County and that is how she met Andy Zinke to begin with.

  16. Zgone, that is true.

    I do recall something about an incident in the break room while a detective.

    I’m sure there were more.

    I’m trying not to let my dislike of her cloud my judgment but perhaps you are right.

  17. According to the Circuit Clerk’s website, Kimmy waived her right to a jury trial and has a bench trial scheduled for October 30th.

    I would expect some kind of a plea bargain before then, because I can’t imagine why else she would agree to a bench trial with a judge who has already ruled against her.
