Harold “Hal” Turner, the blogger and Internet radio host convicted of threatening three judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison.
The charges stemmed from a series of Internet posts Mr. Turner wrote in June 2009 after the three judges—Frank Easterbrook, Richard Posner and William Bauer—upheld two Chicago-area gun bans.
