...track such figures say this is the first time they can recall a judge's family being killed and not the judge. It is, in some ways, worse. "If someone was angry at me, they should go after me," Lefkow told the Chicago Sun-Times two days after the murders. "I'm just furious." Judges get threatened more often than the public might imagine, but the murder of Lefkow's family has rattled courthouses around the nation. This is not supposed to happen in America. "It's news that makes your whole body hurt," says Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer, a colleague...
...investigation has included a close look at Matthew Hale, one of the U.S.'s most notorious neo-Nazis, who is awaiting sentencing for soliciting Judge Lefkow's murder in 2002. Hale, 33, is the leader of a white-supremacist group formerly known as the World Church of the Creator.

She had heard whispers identifying the killer as an I.R.A. man, Bart Fisher. A month later people describing themselves as Fisher's supporters and members of the "republican movement" came to her home to warn the McGinley family off attending court or drawing attention to the case...
...senior official in the Party of Regions run by Yushchenko's political opponent, Viktor Yanukovych. "We don't need reprivatization. We need more jobs." But Yushchenko has already shown that he's prepared to follow up on election promises. Last week, police arrested two men in connection with the murder of journalist Heorhiy Gongadze, a critic of Kuchma's government whose decapitated body was found in November 2000.
