Former City Attorney Tearman Spencer Found Guilty of Felony Misconduct in Milwaukee
Tearman Spencer, the former City Attorney of Milwaukee, has been found guilty of felony misconduct in office. The charges stem from allegations that Spencer used his position for personal gain by having a subordinate draft a legal opinion to avoid inspection fees for storing his private car collection. This strategy allegedly saved him thousands of dollars. The jury also found Spencer not guilty of a lesser charge of misdemeanor obstruction of an officer. Spencer's legal troubles are not over, as he faces additional charges related to an allegedly improper real estate transaction and contact with a potential witness. The case was prosecuted by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office, and sentencing is scheduled for September 11.
