"These Judges deserve to be killed," declared Harold "Hal" Turner on his Web site in June, attacking three 7th Circuit judges who had upheld Chicago-area bans on handguns. On Dec. 1, Turner is due to go to trial in a federal case that will turn on whether his Web postings are protected as an exercise of free speech or constitute a "true threat" that posed imminent danger to the targets. Also part of the mix: Turner's claim that he learned how to stay within the legal bounds of provocative speech as an FBI informant.

By the end of the month, Turner was in handcuffs. On Dec. 1, he’s scheduled to go to trial in Brooklyn, N.Y., in a federal case that will test First Amendment protections online.
