After approving a fifth judicial commissioner position at its last meeting, the Hamilton County Commission yesterday named Rachel Ortwein to the post. Ortwein, who previously was an assistant district attorney, had been serving as an "on call" judicial commissioner. She was the only applicant for the position, Chattanoogan.com reports. She will join Chief Lori Miller, Ron Powers, Charles Paty and Blake Murchison. Judicial commissioners, also known as magistrates, set bonds and handle warrants.
