Anyone familiar with Abrahamson's voting record would not be surprised by the fact that criminal defense attorneys and ambulance chasing lawyers are supporting her.

In State v. Post and State v. Oldakowski(1995), Abrahamson was the only Justice to vote to find the sex predator law unconstitutional (a law that has kept hundreds of rapists and child molesters confined). In State v. Picottee (2003), State v. Armstrong (2005) and State v. Stuart (2005), Abrahamson cast the deciding vote to overturn murder convictions. Anyone can verify this information by going to WisBar.Org and look up the cases themselves. These are just a few examples of dozens of cases where Abrhamson voted in favor of the criminal defendant. Some of the folks who responded to my post may agree with Abrahmson's hug-a-thug mentality, but my guess is that the majority of the people who will vote next April won't.
As for Janesvillean's suggestion that I am the spawn of the WMC, I work in law enforcement and I don't even know what astroturfing is.
As for Butler, he had a similar record of voting for criminals rather than crime victims. While it is true that sex predator was never released in the case mentioned by PanamaRed (no talking points in that post) that was only because a lower court later determined that he shouldn't be released. The cold hard truth is that he would have been released if not for this later decision. The case is In re the commitment of Richard Brown (2005). Look it up yourself. The fact that Doyle even appointed Butler to the Supreme Court (probably to appeal to a certain segment of his political base) after Butler got trounced earlier when ran for the job on his own, only shows Doyle's arrogance. That fact that Butler lost for a second time shows that the voters aren't as stupid as the elites in the legal profession and the media would have us believe.

Abrahamson has been a terrible Supreme Court Justice for anyone who believes criminals should be held accountable for their actions. She was the only Justice who voted to declare the sexual predator law unconstitutional when the law was first enacted and has frequently cast the deciding vote to reverse murder, sexual assault and robbery convictions. Anyone who believes a judge should be more concerned about crime victims rather than criminals should vote for Judge Koschnick.

What's wrong with pointing out that innocent people have been victimized as a result of Doyle's hug-a-thug policies? Mahoney and Spoden are just Democratic Party lackeys who are sacrificing the public safety to to further their own political ambitions.
