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.
More going after corrupt judges please.
If they prefer killing themselves over going to prison, it means that they know what kind of conditions to expect there and that they would rather die. Really telling when the people responsible for creating this system of modern slavery cant live with their own creation.
My most downvoted comment on here is when a Judge got punched in the face I said something along the lines of “well, they send people away for the rest of their lives and then go play golf the same evening. Glad one actually realized there could be consequences for being a dick”
I know its not a popular opinion but man I stand on it. Fuck them, they don’t give a fuck about any of the people they force into a lifetime of slavery for petty non violent offenses.
I’ll admit I didn’t read the article, but if $63k was the sum total of all bribes, and they chose to kill themselves rather than face punishment, then it’s really telling of the prison system.
I feel like 63000 was the tip of the ice burg
Could be. There’s no amount of money or jail time that would be enough for me to commit suicide.
imagine accepting 63k to die
Life on a judge minimum wage is hell, it’s almost impossible to survive or afford caviar each day, it was his way out of the missery.
Also judges are entitled to bribes, supreme court is showing the way for all judges.
The article mentioned a Mout’z Soudani, but went into no further detail. This article has a little more context on the investigation into Orange County and the bribery scheme.
Martin Soudani was charged and pleaded guilty last year to an alleged $1.6 million cryptocurrency scheme that was investigated by then Executive Assistant District Attorney Stewart Rosenwasser.
™The former prosecutor and retired Orange County Court Judge is accused of knowing the alleged victim, Moutz “Marty” Soudani, the suspect’s uncle, and taking almost $50,000 from him to investigate the case.
From the sound of things, he took the money to help an abuser get his rape victim back ----- eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeshhhh
Yea this confirms what I thought. He also allegedly imprisoned and sexually abused his sister for 45 years: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/new-york-woman-claims-she-was-sexual-slave-to-her-brother-for-45-years-lawsuit/ar-AA1lGqE7
Guessing we know which relatives he wanted investigated.
This saved the taxpayer a lot of money.
