Illinois Attorney Rhonda Crawford Found Dead In Home One Week Before Trial Was To Begin

Rhonda Crawford, the disgraced Illinois attorney who was set to stand trial Monday on charges she impersonated a judge, has been found dead in her residence Thursday.

Crawford, 46, was discovered deceased in her home following a welfare check conducted by Calumet City police.

She was pronounced dead at 4:02 p.m. Thursday, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Crawford faced one count of official misconduct and one county of false impersonation over an incident in August 2016 when a judge in the Markham courthouse allowed her to wear a judicial robe and rule on a few traffic cases from the bench. source

An autopsy was scheduled for Friday.
