Chicago - Bodies Found at Home of Federal Judge
Associated Press | February 28, 2005

Posted on 02/28/2005 7:12:08 PM PST by HAL9000

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.

"You are correct, she was the judge in the George Ryan License Selling Scandal, but she was also the judge on several nasty drug trials and these murders were done execution style, one bullet to the back of the head of both vicitims."

I've been thinking about this, and though ws's are suspect, they are more bark than bite and haven't done too many political killings. If this was Hale-related, why wait so long? I think this was a professional job perpetrated by an intelligent killer who KNEW racists would be suspect and that it would be sensationalized. A braindead, rag-tag "creator" wouldn't get past the security system, neither would a druggie. This killer probably got paid by a wealthy client. .22's are often used in professional hit jobs. Just ask the mob.
We still don't know if the house was burglarized. The last thing Joan would want to do right now is search through her belongings to see if anything is missing. As the day goes on, more light should be shed on this.
Remember freepers that the liberal media has already framed this debate. When wealthy, powerful people fall victim to this kind of crime, there are many possible motives and suspects.

I have visited his website/chat room back when Hale was sending white supremacists to Lewiston, Maine during the Somali/Mayor fiasco. I visited some other white supremest websites today..and they do have some pretty "hate related and dangerous" postings.

Remember terrorists and like ilk have patience. Back then it could have seemed obvious; but letting time lapse would leave "reasonable doubt". Just my opinion. ;)

Apparantly Judge Lefkow ruled IN FAVOR of Hale, but the media keeps lying about this. Even I believed it, until a friend in Illinois enlightened me (see link below). An appellate court overturned her decision and she merely enforced the law by threatening to fine him. The "white supremacist" motive is falling short. I think y'all are going in the wrong direction on this and allowing media propaganda to cloud your judgement.

that's what a sarcasm tag is for. relax.

Yeah I missed that, since it was in a separate post. Easier to see when it's in the same post. There was some rather ugly stuff on the thread, and yours, as posted, was over the top. I know (now) that wasn't the intent, but that was how it looked at the time. I know you're one of the good guys though.

"I just found out that Joan's mother was ill and in the hospital in Denver. When she was well enough to visit the judge she flew out to Chicago. She had two walkers. The bastards who killed her must be caught."

Our Culture is spawning. . .in too many instances; the lowest class of humanity. . . .and it seems to be a growing 'standard' among young killer/criminals.

Even the older prison population is afraid of some of these 'people' - so to speak - coming into their midst.

I hope they find this person; and 'take care' that he does not live to see his lawyer - though I guess he does have info to share. . .well whatever.

OTOH. . .someone else may take just that precaution; for just that reason. . .the killer may be a 'goner' already. . .

thanks. A little crass "Pelican Brief" humor. Very frustrating to see today that Clinton appointed 397 judges...50 more than Reagan! And Bush has only gotten 204...less than Carter. shows how poisoned our judicial system is, and the importance of the "nuclear option" so we can fill the courts for a generation.

The te-ta-ma Truth Foundation apparantly got a trademanrk on "World Church of the Creator" after the racist org had been using it for 15 years. They are a leftist universalist new-age group. Lefkow ruled for Hale and an appellate court overturned it. Something smells fishy about this case.

"The Judge's home address and pictures of her family were posted on a racist discussion group. "

Incredible...and incredible that they only had police security for a short time; and that they did not replace it with 'private armed security'.

well....much like the OKC bombing....anytime a looney Neo Nazi or Christian Identity etc. goes off, that is used to tar anyone to the right of Cultural Jihad which is arguably over half the electorate and most of this forum.

Sadly.

And what we have to do with those folks beats me....of wait I forget...we enable them. I believe that is what they said after OKC.

Affirmative, and I do believe the, "Real Boys In The Hood" will fight on our side against the muslim terrorist. The enemy of my enemy is my friend? We do have many sympathizers in the democratic party for AQ. Those idiots want America to fall becasue they are not in power. We also have many muslim converts like calypso louies crowd who sure would not greet us in Sunday School. I think it is time for all these groups to be looked at real hard as a terrorist groups from within. Evil Triumphs When Good Men&Women Do Nothing.The Feds neeed to start targeting these groups instead of Billy Bob's, "Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Drinking-Shotgun toting- sheet wearing blow-hards." NSNR

You have a very valid point. Yes, and I want people to see these other radical groups for what they represent also. Cold vile hatred for others who disagree with their political views and agenda. NSNR

I know that link..thanks. Time will tell. Check out the white supremest links sometime. The KKK is TAME compared to what I have found. As I earlier commented, I visited his chat room under the Church's name which had sued him. The hate was there. Enough for me to get out of there when I entered into some conversations with his group..and I was not belligerent.

Coulson Esq.,(Chicago) spoke on O'Reilly. April 6th is to be Hale's date before the judge. This was as you said a trademark case and yes she ruled in favor of Hale. Overturned, she had to issue the injunction and she did fine him. She was easy on Hale, but he is still the "top" suspect. The media is not being told differently by authorities in charge.

Shame on you for trying to politicize at the expense of this woman. Who cares who nominated her? This is a sick crime perpetrated by vermin.
