Libby Judge received threats

The US judge who oversaw the CIA leak trial of a former aide to Vice President Dick Cheney said today that he received threatening letters and phone calls after sentencing Lewis “Scooter” Libby to prison.

“I received a number of angry, harassing mean-spirited phone calls and letters,” District Judge Reggie Walton said. “Some of those were wishing bad things on me and my family.”
