MILWAUKEE, Wis. — When Kenosha County Eye founder and investigative journalist Kevin Mathewson filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Chad Kerkman in September 2025, he was representing himself, without an attorney, against government officials backed by at least four experienced attorneys.
