N.Y. Woman Arrested for Threatening Judge
New York Law Journal
November 06, 2009
A woman has been arrested for repeatedly harassing and threatening New York Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Sunshine, the Brooklyn judge presiding over her divorce proceeding. According to court records, Sunshine initiated the action against Cheryl Uzamere after she left 10 voice messages and sent three faxes to his chambers, containing such threats as "You're going to pay for what you've done" and that "the battle was to the death."
The judge appears to have filed the complaint shortly after Uzamere called the Inspector General's Office of New York County and said she "was going to put on a disguise and shoot [Justice Sunshine] in the head."
Uzamere turned herself in on Tuesday and was sent for psychiatric observation. Many of her complaints against the judge, which stem from her ongoing divorce and child-support dispute with Nigerian Sen. Ehigie Edobor Uzamere, are detailed on her Web site, under the headline "Anti-Schvartze, Talmud-Oriented Bigot Judge Sunshine Continues Reign of Terror Against Schvartze Family."
Several court officials declined to comment, citing the Office of Court Administration's policy of not discussing security threats.
