Right-wing blogger Hal Turner gets 33-month prison sentence
Blogger wrote that 3 Chicago-based judges ‘deserved to be killed’

December 21, 2010|By William Lee, Tribune reporter

A right-wing Internet radio host and blogger was sentenced to 33 months in prison Tuesday for calling for the killings of three Chicago federal appellate judges on his Web site last year.

Hal Turner, of New Jersey, was convicted in August by a federal jury in Brooklyn of threatening to assault and kill the three judges on the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago. Two earlier trials had ended with the juries deadlocked.

Meanwhile, leftist scumbags who openly advocated assassinating President Bush and even made a movie about it, are walking around free.
