Judge Andrew Wilkinson Killed
The FJA joins our Maryland state court colleagues in mourning the death of County Circuit Judge Andrew Wilkinson, who was gunned down in his own driveway yesterday morning. A judge should never face death in the exercise of his or her duty to uphold the law and to ensure the fair administration of justice. We urge justice in the investigation to apprehend his assailant and in the resolution of the case. We highlight the continued need to provide adequate security to our judiciary that this horrific event punctuates.
