History[]
McGruder's main role in the movie is as serving as The prosecutor in the murder trial of Judge Dredd. During the trial she reveals that every Lawgiver fires rounds with the DNA code of the Judge to whom the weapon belongs, thus making identification of the shooter possible with the recovery of the slugs from a victim. She successfully prosecutes Dredd despite the defense put up by his colleague Judge Hershey. After a huge number of Street Judges were murdered, McGruder and the other Council Judges agree to Chief Justice Griffin's request to unlock the Janus files as a replenishment option, but she and Council Judge Esposito refuse to go through with it. They and Council Judge Silver were then quickly shot and killed by Judge Dredd's rogue brother Rico Dredd.
