CHICAGO (AP) -- Authorities found two bodies at the home of a federal judge Monday night, and Chicago police and the FBI were investigating.

The bodies were found at the home of U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow, but the judge was uninjured, police spokesman Patrick Camden said.

He declined to elaborate.

FBI agents were assisting police but would provide no details.

"Nominated by William J. Clinton on May 11, 2000" My first reaction to this story was to google Joan Humphery and Clinton.

It says she's a graduate of Wheaton College.

That tends to suggest that she is an Evangelical with conservative religious beliefs, although one would need more evidence to nail it down. I know a few of the faculty at Wheaton and it's a fine place.

snort!!

A man was convicted last year of solicitation for murder of the Judge.

...The jury found Hale, 32, had solicited his security chief, Anthony Evola, to kill Lefkow because she had ruled against his organization, the former World Church of the Creator, in a trademark infringement lawsuit. But the jurors acquitted Hale of charges alleging he solicited Jon Fox, a former member of the World Church, to kill Lefkow.

This 'Reverend' was later convicted and is currently in jail for asking people to kill this Judge. The 'Bible Burning' here is because his 'Church' lost a Copyright case involving their name to a real church that called itself the World Church.

NBC5 (Chicago) -

CHICAGO -- Two people were found dead Monday night in the North Side home of U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow, according to sources.

The bodies were found in this house in the 5200 block of North Lakewood.

Police said the judge came home around 6 p.m. to find two victims in the residence in the 5200 block of North Lakewood Avenue.

Police and the FBI are conducting a death investigation.

Police News Affairs Officer Jo Ann Taylor said did not know the identities or ages of the victims. Officers would not say how the two people were killed.

Sources told WBBM radio that the bodies may have been a man and a woman.

Lefkow presided over a trademark case against Matt Hale, a white supremacist later convicted of trying to have the judge killed. Hale remains behind bars.

Well of course, but love triangles. Well maybe now that I htink about it. Remember Tarnower and Jean Harris.

Hale Bopped

In a dramatic scene yesterday at Chicago's Federal Courthouse, World Church of the Creator founder and head scumbag white supremacist Matthew Hale was arrested on charges of plotting to kill judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow.

Lefkow, for her part, had been presiding over the World Church's fight to keep its name. Hale was showing up at the courthouse on a related matter involving contempt charges and neither he nor his supporters were aware the authorities had become privy to his plan to assault and murder Lefkow. When he showed up with his leather-clad bully-boys, the Feds scooped him right up.

Hale, who calls himself Pontifex Maximus—"highest priest"—holds his church out as a religious organization dedicated "to the survival, expansion and advancement of the white race."

Since Lefkow's husband is Jewish, she didn't qualify under the "survival" tenet of the Church. We join Chicago Trib reporter John Kass, who interviewed Hale moments prior to his arrest, in wishing Hale lots of "multicultural diversity up close and personal in the federal pen."

"White Supremacist Matt Hale...was later sent to jail for asking people to kill her. I have a nasty feeling about this."

You may have the clue here.

[Reform4Bush]

Possibly related to Matthew Hale and the Creativity Movement group?

religious neo-nazi white supremecist ping?

[cajungirl]

a man and a woman? Possibly her husband and adult child. She was old enough to have kids in their thirties. Oh my, horrible.
