OSHKOSH -- Former Winnebago County District Attorney Joe Paulus is seeking early release from his prison sentence for corruption, but the state is opposing his petition. Paulus, 50, is scheduled for release Nov. 15 after serving a two-year prison sentence on state charges of misconduct in office and obstructing justice, and was allowed to serve that time in a federal prison after he served more than four years on federal convictions of bribery and filing a false tax return. He was convicted in 2004 of accepting $48,000 in bribes for dismissals or lenient treatment for clients of defense attorney Milton Schierland, and state prosecutors later identified six more cases in their criminal complaint against him. Paulus handled a handful of cases in Brown County. In one of those, he prosecuted John Maloney, the former Green Bay police detective convicted in 1998 of killing his wife and burning her house and body to cover the crime. Read More. |
