Rosenberg threat case

Stephen Rosenberg was charged on July 16, 2009 for issuing death threats towards Judge Perry ^[1].

The threats came after Rosenberg appeared in front of Judge Perry as part of a civil suit, Rosenberg filed against the United States. ^[1] After Rosenberg's appearance, the Virginia man sent numerous e-mails to the judge, including a threat to kill "white judges."

Rosenberg is charged with one count of sending e-mail threats to a judge and one count of trying to intimidate a judge. Rosenberg could face a lengthy sentence if convicted on all charges. The Court Security Enhancement Act of 2007 increases criminal penalties for threats towards federal judges. ^[1]
