Judge Julie Kocurek
American judge, Julie Kocurek, was shot four times in her
driveway in a multi-million dollar dated community of West
Austin, Texas. The judge was returning home in a vehicle with
four passengers, when a bag left in her Tarrytown driveway,
prompted her to exit the SUV to remove it. When Judge Kocurek
did so, someone opened fire shooting her four times. The judge
is expected to survive, but remains hospitalized.
Police at the scene of Judge
Julie Kocurek's shooting
28-year-old, Chimene Hamilton Onyeri, has been named as a
person of interest in the case. Onyeri has a criminal record for
identity theft, illegal weapons possession, marijuana possession
and evading police. He was also arrested in 2008 for murder, but
the case was dismissed. Authorities have not stated why or what
his connection to Judge Kocurek is at this time. Onyeri’s father
has provided an alibi for his son, stating he was at their home
the entire night of the crime.

In general, you may not agree with a judge’s decisions, but
you can’t take the law into your own hands and harm people. It
is unlawful and uncouth. If a judge makes a corrupt decision
(and I am not saying Kocurek did, as I know nothing about her
cases) file a complaint with the appropriate judicial committee
for your state. If that doesn’t work, leave it to God as he
always brings justice.

Person of interest in judge
attack charged with prior murder, cops say
AUSTIN, Texas -- A person of interest in the wounding of a
Texas judge in a shooting last week was charged Tuesday with
murder in an unrelated Houston slaying, police said. Austin
Police Chief Art Acevedo said Chimene Hamilton Onyeri, 28, was
being held in Houston. Acevedo didn't give details of that case
and the criminal complaint wasn't immediately available, but CBS
affiliate KHOU reported Onyeri is charged with shooting victim
Jacobi Demond Alexander to death on May 18 in Houston.
Acevdeo said Onyeri is a person of interest but hasn't been
charged in Friday's "cowardly" attack on Judge Julie Kocurek,
who was wounded as she arrived at her Austin home. Kocurek was
hit with shrapnel and glass when a shooter opened fire, reports
KHOU. Her injuries were not considered life-threatening but she
remained hospitalized Tuesday. Investigators executed a search
warrant late Tuesday morning at Onyeri's west Houston home,
where he lives with his father...
