The lawyer who allegedly posed as a judge has been indicted on criminal charges, the latest fallout from the scandal that began when the judicial hopeful from the South Side put on a black robe and presided over three traffic cases, her lawyer said Thursday.
Despite the charges, she intends to remain on the ballot in her Cook County judicial election on Nov. 8.

"They contacted me and said they are moving forward with the charges," Henderson said.
