A globetrotting Detroit judge is accused of blowing money stolen from elderly and incapacitated people on a dive bar, a luxury car and a ritzy downtown
condominium, according to a federal indictment unsealed Friday, almost seven months after The Detroit News revealed a secret FBI investigation.
The case against 36th District Judge Andrea Bradley-Baskin, her father and two others describes a conspiracy to steal assets and money from clients and splurge
on luxuries. In Bradley-Baskin's case, she spent more than $247,000 on personal luxuries, Chick's Bar and rent on two properties in Metro Detroit, including a
Brush Park condominium across Woodward from Little Caesars Arena, according to the government.

Detroit — Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy launched an investigation into the docket of 36th District Judge Ronald Giles in October, directing her staff to
review cases the judge had dismissed, along with instances in which he acted outside the law or "made up some law," according to two emails obtained by The
Detroit News.
"I want to see every, single Judge Giles dismissal going back (to) January of this year sent to me as soon as possible," Worthy wrote in an Oct. 6 officewide
message.
