After two days of testimony about a traffic stop that ended in a drug arrest, a Milwaukee County judge had heard enough.
“You can stop,” Judge Paul R. Van Grunsven said last fall, interrupting the defense attorney who was still cross-examining a West Allis police officer.

“This witness has lost any credibility with this Court,” Van Grunsven said. “I find none of his testimony to therefore be truthful.”
The officer, Michael Lazaris, left the stand.
He had been found untruthful by a judge, yet he does not appear on a list of officers with credibility concerns, findings of dishonesty or bias, or past criminal charges.
He’s not the only one.
