Champaign County States Attorney
Julia Rietz was elected Champaign County State’s Attorney in November, 2004. A 1993 graduate of the University of Illinois College of Law, she began her legal career as a prosecutor in the State’s Attorney’s Office, prosecuting cases ranging from traffic to homicides, and focusing on child abuse and neglect.
She is also the world's first clairvoyant State's Attorney. Able to file abuse and neglect petitions before it ever happens... and sometimes when it doesn't.
Julia's Accomplishments as State's Attorney
As the world's first clairvoyant State's Attorney. Able to file abuse and neglect cases even before they happen, Rietz filed a petition of abuse and neglect on 12/22/2005. The incident that she filed the petition about was on 12/23/2005. I'm impressed! How could she have known? A full day before it happened. Well, she didn't. She was trying to back date a petition and it was dated wrong. FRAUD... Yes it is. Criminal? Yes it is. Is there proof? YES!
I believe strongly in the ethical obligation placed on prosecutors under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 3.8, which states “the first duty of a public prosecutor is to do justice, not merely to convict.”
Unless you are a police officer, then Rape, DUI's and Excessive Force are excused. Unlike any other lawyer, the prosecutor has the power to allow an individual of the police department to commit a crime and not face the same prosecution as the general public.
Julia's Philosophy on Prosecution
On June 5, 2011 Champaign Police Officer Patrick M. Simons abuse a local youth with pepper spray. After the youth is in handcuffs in the backseat, the cop then proceeds to choke the youth in a fit of rage. The officer commits aggravated battery. The youth in this video submitted a complaint to the city; it was considered unfounded. After escalating pressure about police abuse, the City Manager and States Attorney have asked the State Police to review if there was misconduct. The State Police do not have a history of providing independent investigation that is trusted by the community. Why are the State Police investigating? Because Rietz cannot identify an aggravated battery. So she is either unqualified to prosecute or because it's a police officer.
