U.S. marshals put Roll, who was appointed to the federal bench by President George H.W. Bush in 1991, under 24-hour protection for about a month.
It was said on foxnews that he had protection for a few years. I think it was Meghan Kelly that asked when it was stopped
The man ( can’t remember who it was) said he was unsure. I was left with the impression that it was recent, but could have gotten the wrong impression.
This site says that it is the death of Judge Roll that gives the feds jurisdiction to investigate these murders. Isn’t that convenient? The Obama Administration who would want Judge Roll dead and get to replace him if he dies, are the ones who get to control all the evidence in his killing. Handy. The FBI would only be authorized to come to AZ when they knew Roll was dead. I wonder how soon they got there, and how soon they were notified that Roll was dead.

I’m not sure what happens to the case where he ruled against Obama. If that was a preliminary ruling, as I thought I had read, would an Obama appointee have to finish off the thing - possibly reversing what Judge Roll had done?
