HOW MANY OF THESE CRIMINALS ARE BLACK?
Here Are the 7 Most Dangerous Criminals Released By Wisconsin's Liberal Supreme Court Candidate
Janet Protasiewicz under fire for light sentencing record ahead of Tuesday's election
A cold-blooded killer who burned his victims’ bodies. A felon accused of murdering the niece of a Milwaukee politician. A domestic abuser who gunned down his ex-wife.
These criminals had one thing in common—they were repeat offenders who preyed on their victims after receiving lenient sentences from liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Janet Protasiewicz.
Protasiewicz’s conservative opponent, former justice Dan Kelly, has argued that her light sentencing record raises questions about her judgment. The high-stakes election, which will take place Tuesday, April 4, will determine the ideological breakdown of the swing state's top court and could have national implications for the 2024 presidential elections. Spending in the race has already exceeded $40 million, making it by far the most expensive state judicial election in U.S. history.
During Protasiewicz's time on the Milwaukee Circuit Court bench, she let off dozens of domestic abusers and child predators with little or no jail time, according to court records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon—and many of them went on to commit new violent crimes.
Here are seven of the most disturbing cases:
1. Lazarick Spade
In December 2015, Spade escaped from a prison work-release program—where he was serving time for felony child abuse—and assaulted his estranged wife on a public sidewalk in Milwaukee. He pushed her to the ground and punched and kicked her, causing a fracture to her face.
Protasiewicz Sentence: Six months jail.
Aftermath: Shortly after he was released from prison, Spade ambushed his ex-wife outside her home in Milwaukee and shot her multiple times to "get even" with her for reporting the prior assault. She survived but lost a lung and suffered permanent injuries. The victim told the Free Beacon that the shooting likely wouldn’t have happened if Protasiewicz had given Spade a more serious sentence—and said she doesn't think Protasiewicz deserves to serve on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
2. Antwone Eichelberger
In March 2016, Eichelberger flew into a violent rage and strangled his girlfriend after accusing her of infidelity while he was in prison. The victim managed to flee and barricaded herself in her apartment by "wedg[ing] a chair in front of the door" to keep Eichelberger out, according to court records obtained by the Free Beacon.
Eichelberger broke into the home by smashing his fist through the glass door and "began punching [the victim] repeatedly." She was eventually able to escape by running barefoot "over the shattered glass, which caused the lacerations to her feet," and hid in a neighbor’s apartment until police came.
Protasiewicz Sentence: Probation.
Aftermath: Three years later, Eichelberger was charged with felony battery after punching his girlfriend repeatedly in the face, breaking her nose, according to court records.
3. Elijah Combs
In 2016, Combs strangled his girlfriend and punched her multiple times in the face, bloodying her nose and breaking her tooth, according to court records reported by Wisconsin Right Now. He also "kicked and stomped on" the victim "all over her body." Afterward, he ordered her to "clean up the blood that was splattered throughout the area" and wouldn’t let her leave the house "because her face was so messed up."
Protasiewicz Sentence: Six months in the House of Corrections.
Aftermath: Combs—who killed himself in late February after leading police on a car chase—is suspected of murdering his girlfriend Aliyah Perez, the 26-year-old niece of Milwaukee Alderman Jose Perez, in a shooting in February.
4. Matthew Neumann
In 2015, Neumann was arrested after brandishing a gun and threatening to shoot his wife, according to Fox News.
Protasiewicz Sentence: Probation.
Aftermath: Three years after he was sentenced, Neumann murdered two of his cleaning business employees after a night of drinking. He burned their bodies in a firepit on his property. Neumann’s daughter said she overheard her father say he killed one of the men over a pack of cigarettes, according to reports.
5. Kenneth Wright
In 2020, Kenneth Wright, 28, was arrested for sexual assault after impregnating a 15-year-old girl.
Sentence: Probation.
Aftermath: Less than a year after his sentence, Wright was charged with killing a teenage girl in a drunk driving accident.
6. Kenneth Blair
In 2018, Blair was charged with sexually assaulting 3 children aged 7, 8, and 11.
Sentence: Probation.
Aftermath: Three years later, Blair was charged with assaulting one of the same children, although the case was reportedly dismissed due to issues with the criminal complaint.
Sentence: Probation.
Aftermath: Bounds was arrested again last June for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. The case is still open, according to records.

8. CRIME: Because of the Democrat rule in blue cities, crime is not being prosecuted in the name of some weird kind of reparations. What the Democrats don't get is that they hurt their own innocent population by allowing criminals a get-out-jail-free card, and by not prosecuting at all. Their racist policies hurt the very people they claim to want to help. Why are they doing this? To deliberately create chaos in the execution of anti-white racism. The one solution to the rising crime rate, the prosecution and incarceration of criminals, is the one thing blue cities under Democrat rule will not do. Mayor Lightfoot makes weird and demonic home videos of herself dancing around in what appears to be a drugged stupor. Rather than be a responsible mayor, she has totally ignored the death-by-violence rate in Chicago. This is another very clear example of Democrats doing what they do best; destroying things.
Liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court Nom Let Off Domestic Abuser. He Was Later Convicted of Attempted Murder.
Janet Protasiewicz sentenced a serial violent felon to just six months after he broke his wife's face
Liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Janet Protasiewicz sentenced a serial violent felon to just six months in prison for breaking his estranged wife's face in a brutal beating. Less than one year later, the man gunned down the same victim outside her home, nearly killing her, according to court records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
The offender, Lazarick Spade, allegedly shot his ex-wife to "get even" with her for reporting the prior assault, according to court records.
The disturbing case could fuel concerns about Protasiewicz's sentencing record and professional judgment, after critics have accused her of handing down light sentences to domestic abusers and sexual predators during her time on the Milwaukee Circuit Court. The high-stakes April 4 race between Protasiewicz and her conservative opponent, former state Supreme Court justice Dan Kelly, will decide the ideological breakdown of the swing state's top court and could have national implications for the 2024 presidential elections.
It also raises questions about Protasiewicz's suggestion last week that she only has "one case where someone reoffended." In that incident, which Protasiewicz's opponents have highlighted in negative campaign attacks, she released a child sex offender without jail time who went on to kill a woman in a drunken car crash.
"That is the case where I indicated hindsight is 20/20," said Protasiewicz.
Protasiewicz did not respond to questions about whether she also regrets her decision in the Spade case.
A week before Christmas in 2015, Spade brutally beat his estranged wife after she told him she was ending the relationship and "moving on with her life." At the time of the assault, Spade had escaped from a prison work-release program, where he was supposed to serve a nine-month sentence for abusing the couple’s child.
Spade confronted his wife, who is referred to as T.S. in court records, outside a house in east Milwaukee, according to court records. He pushed her to the ground and then "dragged T.S. and punched and kicked her in the face," according to reports from multiple witnesses, who ran outside to pull Spade off of the victim. "As a result, T.S. sustained facial hematomas and a facial fracture," responding officers told the court.
Spade was initially charged with felony battery and faced up to 10 years in prison as a habitual offender, but the charges were reduced in a plea deal approved by Protasiewicz. She sentenced him to six months in prison.
Less than two years later, in June 2017, Spade ambushed and shot his ex-wife multiple times outside her home in Milwaukee, according to court records.
T.S. "arrived home around 10:55 p.m. and was walking toward her house when [Spade] came toward her and started shooting at her," say the court records. She "ran toward the house as [Spade] continued shooting."
The victim "sustained three through and through gunshot wounds," the records state. "One shot went through her left foot. One shot went through her upper right arm. One shot went through her by the shoulder blade and caused damage to one of her lungs."
In total, Spade fired 19 rounds at T.S., according to investigators.
T.S., who was hospitalized but survived the attack, told police that earlier that day she had run into Spade at the courthouse while taking out papers to file a restraining order against him. He allegedly told her he would "get even with her for sending him to jail" in the assault case.
Spade was convicted by a jury of attempted first-degree intentional homicide in 2019. He is serving 40 years in prison.
