What? It's not evil white men trying to keep the black man down? Watch this one slip off of page one right quick.
Chicago Police Department spokesman David Bayless identified the man as Bart Ross.
.....'AKA'...________________??
"After I shot husband and mother of Judge Lefkow, I had a lot of time to think about life and death. Killing is no fun, even though I knew I was already dead," the station quoted the letter as saying.
Ross said he stayed in the house until about 1:15 p.m. before deciding to leave, according to the letter.
The suicide note found in the van indicated that Lefkow had ruled against Ross in a civil case, costing him "his house, his job and family," the Chicago Tribune reported, citing unidentified sources. The note also included details in the slayings that were not released to the public, Tribune Deputy Managing Editor James Warren said in an interview on CNN.
Ross was stopped by police in West Allis, Wis., Wednesday evening because his van had a faulty tail light, police said. As officers approached the car, he killed himself with a gunshot to the head, police said.
Is this really "breaking news"? I heard this earlier this morning, at least 6 hours ago.
cue Simon and Garfunkel...

From an eyewitness report last night she told the news guy that the police had a shield when they approached the car. My assumption is that the Milwaukee police were looking for his guy at the request of CPD after the letter contents were disclosed to CPD from Ch 5. The tailight story was just that.

I heard that Mr. Leftkow was in a cast and that it would have been difficult for him to have gotten to the basement at all. A local radio host talked about how cruel it was that he was hurded into the basement in the first place. But this says that he went down there on his own. Earlier in the piece, though, it says that he was shot on the basement floor which has a different meaning to me. If this guy broke in at 4:30 am, then surely he had an opportunity to kill the judge had he wished to do so. So killing her family was the desire all along?
All judges have kooks appearing before them yet few have serious death threats against them much less an actual murder attempt made on them. Therefore, I have to wonder what there is about this judge that resulted in her having 2 men (both possibly kooks, possibly not) threatening and trying to kill her in a relatively short frame of time. I don't believe in coincidences. Something is strange in this and I think perhaps her record needs to be reviewed.
Too bad he couldn't admit to killing JonBenet Ramsey while he was at it.
Defendants included the federal government, the State of Illinois, five doctors and four attorneys who had taken part in an earlier Ross lawsuit that was dismissed by another judge.
He should have moved to Montana and joined the militia. The type is familiar; these are the people who will want to show you their 8 inch thick file of absolute proof that the Constitution is not valid and green men are ruling the world from Area 51.
Judges in all courts have a steady stream of disturbed and angry individuals in their courtrooms. The marshals take protection of the judges very seriously, but when you see all the crazies, the angry defendants and their families, you marvel that more judges, prosecutors, etc. are not attacked. The people appearing in court, even if they aren't outright crazy, simply don't understand the system and they can't deal with being unsuccessful. Focusing on any one person who had appeared before this judge wa an obvious mistake. I am sure she has dealt with dozens of these types who might cross the line.
Should've hired John Edwards.
This is too convenient for me not to consider the possibility that this person was framed and murdered.
As far as what some posters on this thread are talking about, I never saw the police working only on one theory - just the MSM.
Does this make medmal plaintiffs a new hate group?
I searched. It didnt come up. The search is hit/miss these days, an FYI....
