Chicago Attorney Caught On Zoom Using Racial Slur During Virtual Court Proceeding
Donna Makowski used the n-word.
A Chicago attorney has come under fire after using the n-word on Zoom during a virtual court proceeding.
According to CBS Chicago, attorney Donna Makowski "remained on Zoom and engaged in an unmuted conversation." Court documents claim Makowski, who has been an attorney in Illinois since 1984, said something about "those mother f*****s at the sheriff's office” and "n*****s do it all the time."
Judge Dominique Ross, who was presiding over the courtroom, called the remarks "unprofessional, disrespectful, and contemptuous” and “in direct contempt of this court.”
It's unknown when or if Makowski will face any consequences. The incident has been referred to the state’s Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, WMAQ reports.
