Judge Erica Petrie

Judge Erica Petrie is a minor recurring character in Adara's Apostasy, Moira's Covenant and Sophie's Wisdom. She is a municipal court judge in the city of Stallbrook, and presides over the cases of protestors arrested on various misdemeanors on Creston Street, giving them the option to pay a fine or spend a short sentence in the city jail. When Kira Fredericks tries to disrupt the session, Petrie adds contempt of court to her charges. Later, she presides over a hearing where hardline conservative Republicans petition for an injunction against two moderate members adopting the designation "Main Street Republicans" on the grounds that the new designation would be too easily confused with the party's actual name; she rules against them, allowing the designation to be used for future elections. In Sophie's Wisdom, she considers the petition of Jon Friedman to halt testing of a DNA sample which may link his late father in a murder from two decades ago; she dismisses one part of the petition and is considering evidence and testimony on another when he decides to withdraw his petition.
