The man was charged with one count of interstate communications containing threats to injure, and one count of threatening to assault and murder a federal judge. He sent the judge and others an email stating the jurist is "a traitor" who "needs to be dealt with, and traitors have a death sentence."

The original version of this story was published on New Jersey Law Journal
A self-represented litigant has been arrested on charges that he allegedly threatened to carry out a “death sentence” against a U.S. District Court judge for the District of New Jersey after becoming impatient with the slow progress of the litigation.
The judge is not identified in the complaint or in statements from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, but a check of the federal court docket indicates the target of the threats is U.S. District Judge Claire Cecchi.
