"Outcry Leads to Removal of Illinois Judge Overturning Sexual Assault Conviction"

The Illinois Courts Commission removed Judge Robert Adrian from the bench after he overturned the sexual assault conviction of a man accused of assaulting Cameron Vaughan. Vaughan, who felt "broken" by the decision, applauded the judge's ouster. Adrian's reversal was criticized by the commission, which accused him of intentionally subverting the law and lying about it under oath. Vaughan considers Adrian's dismissal another form of justice, stating that he needs to understand the impact of his actions on her life.
