Circuit Judge Jim Hudson passes away

You'll remember a post I made back in mid-April about 8th Judicial District North Circuit Judge Jim Hudson and his battle with a post-surgical infection that set in after a March 27 procedure to remove cancerous tissue. After a long, hard-fought, battle, Hudson passed away today with his family at his side. They learned that he was brain damaged and that he was unable to sustain life on his own, and all medical support was removed today prior to his death. He was a thoughtful jurist, a former elected prosecuting attorney for the 8th Judicial District, a fellow Methodist, and a great person and friend. Funeral arrangements are pending.
