Blanche Hill Fawell is Scotty's sister-in-law, married to Jeffrey. The Fawell Family dynasty is best described in the following Chicago Magazine article from 2004 -- still a must read.

You ask if a Fawell should be the judge in this case. Should anyone from this circuit preside over this case?

So far, the judge has been fair and smart. It says a lot about the DuPage County judiciary when the best you can hope for in a politically-driven trial is a Fawell.
