A former judge shot and killed himself when FBI agents arrived at his Orange County home to arrest him Tuesday, police sources tell CBS News New York.
A quiet condominium complex along Route 416 in Campbell Hall quickly turned into a chaotic scene. A big police response was seen at the Blackburne Homes complex, where Stewart Rosenwasser, a former county court judge, took his own life.
Rosenwasser, who resigned from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office in June, was accused in an indictment unsealed Tuesday of taking approximately $63,000 in bribes to leverage his position in the DA’s office to investigate two people.
I don’t think it’s the “people finding out” it’s more the hellhole he used to send people to, the US calls department of corrections. It seems to exist to create a torturous experience for incarcerated people.
Yeah, I think you’re probably exactly right.
I guess that goes to show that harsh penalties don’t prevent crimes. Sigh… our justice system is so messed up.
Obviously he only found out about that after he got caught. Otherwise he could’ve made sure he didn’t do the crime thing.
