Excessive cash bail in a Walworth County nonviolent criminal case is just an example how the Walworth County D.A.'s Office and several Circuit Court judges used it as a means to keep someone incarcerated for long periods at a time without being convicted.
Update: The Walworth County court documents in the Kimberlee Coronado criminal case have been released including the criminal complaint, which several previous felony charges have been dropped and is only being charged with interfering with child custody of other parent including party to a crime. Also, documents include the bail bond transcript hearing where Walworth County Asst. D.A. TenHaken assumes that Coronado is a flight risk and would be willing to break bail bond conditions without providing any proof or history that Coronado has ever been criminally charged with bail jumping, but a bail bond risk accessment dated March 16, 2023 indicates Coronado is a low flight risk at following link: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:773355ff-5bd2-4445-88d0-e9a4e47b7038

Elkhorn, Wisconsin - The Wisconsin voters should reject the Republican bail amendments referendum by voting "No" on April 4, 2023, because in Republican controlled counties, especially in the Walworth County Circuit Court system, an excessive cash bail is used for a nonviolent felony compared to violent felonies.
In the case of Kimberlee M. Coronado, 46, a Native American of Waukesha, she was facing multiple frivolous felony charges, but was eventually charged with only one felony count for interfering with the custody of a child-other parent including party to a crime as a modifier, according to Walworth County criminal case # 2023GF000150 posted in the Wisconsin court website records CCAP.
Coronado's case is not a violent crime, but yet, Walworth County Circuit Court Judge Phillip A. Koss on March 16, 2023 imposed a $100,000 cash bail with a stipulation in bold letters that reads, "DEFENDANT MUST POST $100,000 CASH" with recommendation of the Walworth County Asst. District Attorney Vivien L. TenHaken.
On Thursday, March 23, 2023 an initial hearing for Coronado was held before Walworth County Circuit Court Judge Daniel S. Johnson and Johnson decided to keep Coronado's excessive cash bail of $100,000 in place without reducing the bail. Coronado, a mother of four is not considered a danger to the public, she is not a flight risk and does not have a criminal history, according to Wisconsin court records.
Attorney Peter Wolff representing Coronado made a motion to modify bail and Walworth County Asst. District Attorney Andrew Herrmann argued against it and Judge Johnson denied motion to reduce the excessive cash bail. Coronado was not in court, but appeared by video and was allowed to make a statement. Character letters were filed and the next initial appearance was scheduled for March 28, 2023 at 1:15 p.m., at the Walworth County Judicial Center room 3045, Judge Kristine E. Drettwan, according to court records.
The purpose of bail in Wisconsin is to ensure a defendant returns to court, not to keep a defendant who is considered innocent until proven guilty incarcerated simply because they cannot afford to post an excessive stipulated cash bail compared to other defendants charged with violent felony charges including bail jumping whose bail is set less than $15,000 to $5,000 in Walworth County criminal cases.
The felony charge stems from allegations that Coronado aided Ethan Valadez, 15, who ran away on January 10, 2023 on his own accord and who was identified as the missing person with autism in Walworth County by the Walworth County Scanner Update Facebook page.
In Ethan's missing person case, his mother Julie Valadez, 34, who apparently was in another country at the time he ran away from his abusive father was also frivolously criminally charged on February 3, 2023 in Walworth County with multiple felonies.
Julie was frivolously charged with multiple felony counts for interfere with child custody of other parent including party to a crime and interfere with custody after custody order including party to a crime.
Ethan ran away after several Waukesha police including the inept Waukesha County family court Judge Ralph M. Ramirez failed to protect Ethan from his abusive father and ignored his pleas for help in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorced case # 2018FA000296. Ricardo Valadez, 46, Ethan's father was not charged for abusing his son, and allegations were raised that the Waukesha Police Department withheld a body camera video showing Ethan telling police that he was being abused by his own father and Ethan's father telling police that he didn't want Ethan in his house. Julie requested the video footage from the Waukesha Police Department for a child abuse restraining order, but they withheld the video footage and buried the police file involving a Waukesha police female detective who is heard in the YouTube video (https://youtu.be/hiCIdQaAIeM) by Protective Makua telling Ethan that, if he ran away, he would be detained at the juvenile detention center.

On Tuesday, March 28, 2023, a adjourned hearing was held by Walworth County Judge Kristine E. Drettwan and no reduced bail bond motion was made by Attorney Peter Wolff on behalf of Kimberlee M. Coronado. The $100,000 cash bail remains despite Coronado is being held on a nonviolent Wisconsin felony and was accessed as a low flight risk on March 16, 2023. A preliminary hearing is set for April 21, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. in Walworth County Judicial Center room 2065 presiding Judge Peter M. Navis.
The Walworth County D.A.'s Office, the Court including the Delavan Police Department charged Coronado with a felony to enforce the illegal placement of the 15-year-old teen who ran away on January 10, 2023 on his own accord to escape being physically abused by his own father in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case in Waukesha, which Waukesha County family court Judge Ralph M. Ramirez ignored that the teen was being abused multiple times and did nothing to stop it. Ramirez also allegedly engaged in unconstitutional acts and rulings violating Julie’s constitutional and civil rights.
Julie filed a Petition For Writ Of Mandamus And Memorandum on March 23, 2023, with the Supreme Court of the State of Wisconsin. The petition writ cites multiple state and federal laws that Judge Ramirez violated during the proceedings in the Valadez divorce case including his illegal decision to give Ricardo Valadez, the known abuser full custody, who was also caught making a false statement in the course of the case and wasn't charged for lying in court, according to court transcripts in the divorce case.
Julie who filed for divorce and was under the domestic violence victim protection program under the Wisconsin DOJ was only allowed 2 hours of supervised visit with her son per week by Judge Ramirez, according to a Walworth County criminal complaint filed against Julie who at the time her son ran away from his abusive father, she was out of the country.
