The Brutal Price Of Justice

Hale is regarded as a hero in the shadowy world of professional haters. Among his admirers is Hal Turner, who hosts a New Jersey-based Internet radio show. During a broadcast in 2002, Turner said the Hale ruling made Lefkow "worthy of being killed," adding that "it wouldn't be legal, but it wouldn't be wrong." Judge Lefkow says she will return to work. "Nobody is going to intimidate me off the bench," she told reporters. But she doesn't know if she'll ever be able to walk into her home again.
