Unfortunately, I'd bet a LOT of money that it's a follower of Hale. The irony is, if I read this correctly, that she originally ruled in Hale's favor until the decision was reversed in appeals, and she had to rule against him as a result. My heart goes out to her - to lose her husband and mother so violently has got to be more devastating than I can ever imagine.
March 3, 200521 yr There are laws that allow for stiffer penalties when the victim is a Judge. I think those laws should extend the their families as well. Same with cops.

A judge wasn't murdered, it was her mom and husband. I think the laws should extend to relatives as well. Which creates an easier climate for extortion of a judge? I'm going to kill *you* or I'm going to kill your daughter?
