An Illinois circuit court judge was gunned down outside his home earlier this week as his wife was arrested and charged with his murder.
The body of Illinois Second Judicial Circuit Court Judge Michael J. Valentine was discovered fatally shot outside of his Albion, Illinois during a wellness check on Nov. 5.
The Edwards County Sheriff’s Office were called to the Valentines’ home on the 1100 block of County Road 600 in Albion, Ill. at around 12:14 p.m. when they made the disturbing find, the Illinois State Police said.
Valentine, 43, had been the resident circuit judge for Edwards County since he was elected to the position in 2016. He was reelected in 2022.
Before his time on the bench, Valentine served as the county’s State’s Attorney for eight years, according to his online obituary.
Valentine had served as a Chicago EMT and was a part of the Albion Fire Department.
He earned his law degree from Southern Illinois University before becoming a member of the Illinois State Bar Association and the Illinois Judges Association.
Valentine’s family remembered him as a “good and fair judge, who helped many he served” and as loving son and a loving father.

43. Wow.
She burned dinner and he got mad?
My wife and I agree on 85 percent of issues.
The other 15 percent arent’ consequential enough to brawl over.
Illegals, abortion, trans-whatever, economy...we agree on all the big things.
Must be hard to be married and not agree....though I know a few couples that pull it off.
I couldn’t

Megan Valentine. A solid 1/10 on the Hot/Crazy Matrix.
The eyebrows made her do it.
I agree. He may have seemed like a compassionate and fair judge, volunteer firefighter, EMT, and all that, but the eyebrows have their own agenda.
Maybe she was a big fan of late term abortion or on drugs.
Yikes. Only 44.
On the other hand, this is Illinois and he was a judge and before that had 8 yrs of dealing with criminals. Could have some enemies besides his wife.
Yikes!! That is one scary looking woman!
Yeah he voted for Trump
These are your hair dressers, redheads, girls named Tiffany and Megan,....
Thanks for the pic. YES. FACE-words-DEEDS.
I’m curious regarding how these two met.
Fwiw, Albion looks like Small Town, USA
Local TV did not have any additional info.
There is a YouTube Channel, Dr Ted Grande , he is a mental health counselor. He reviews some interesting cases, this incident sounds like a case he’d profile.
lol
excellent question .
Yikes! I think she’s a Grey with hair.......
Nahhh...but as my brother would say, ‘He’s just too lazy to ‘m(*234bate’
Yikes, someone tell her Halloween is over. U G L Y, she ugly.
She hasn’t shaved her head but it still could be he didn’t vote for the first black-ish woman president.
That made me laugh.
i’ve seen her in the saw movies...
