The wife of a man who faced multiple bond hearings on a 2010 domestic violence case, spurring a complaint against a local judge, has dropped the charges against her husband.
Jennifer Wininger told Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Rebecca Stern on Monday that she hadn’t lied in her original testimony, but she and her husband had reconciled and she wanted to move on.
The original arrest spawned multiple bond hearings for her husband, David Wininger, and an official judicial complaint against Hamilton County General Sessions Court Judge David Bales, who set the original bond at $70,000 only to have it reduced eventually to $4,000.
David Wininger was charged with two counts of domestic assault and false imprisonment at the time. Those charges were dismissed upon Jennifer’s Wininger’s request Monday.
She will be responsible for court costs in the case. The amount was not available.
