Retired Judge Stewart Rosenwasser, a former Orange County prosecutor and acting state Supreme Court justice, was fatally shot on Tuesday during an FBI attempt to arrest him in connection with a federal corruption case. The incident occurred at his home in Campbell Hall, New York, and has been widely reported as a suicide.
This event transpired only a day after an indictment was unsealed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which alleged that Rosenwasser had received $63,000 in bribes while serving in the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. Further details about the case and the incident can be found in the New York Law Journal.
