Fellow judges and colleagues at the Juvenile Courthouse honored Presiding Judge Michael Toomin on Monday as he wraps up his 42-year judicial career.
Toomin began his career as a defense attorney, becoming a judge in 1980. He presided over the 1987 trial of infamous Chicago gangster Jeff Fort in what he recalled was a heavily fortified courthouse at 26th and California.
Toomin also handled the second trial of Chicago mobster Harry "The Hook" Aleman, and was the judge who appointed Dan Webb as the special prosecutor to handle the Jussie Smollett case. "Our juvenile mentoring initiative to have mentors appointed for these kids that were in trouble and that was the first thing we started," Toomin said.
