A judge in Illinois has been effectively self-demoted after his decisions in two cases resulted in the death of a child and a woman.

Cook County Circuit Judge Thomas E. Nowinski, who sits in the Domestic Violence Division, was elected to the bench in 2022.

This week, he made the request to be transferred out of that division himself, another judge announced on Thursday.

Now, he will no longer hear domestic violence cases. Instead, Nowinski will hear misdemeanor and traffic cases when he is transferred to the Third Municipal District, Municipal Department. That transfer will become effective on Jan. 21.
