A U.S. District Judge has ordered the release of the controversial internet talk show host and hate blogger, Hal Turner.

We previously reported on the hate blogger getting jail time in July for posting on his site that three Chicago-based federal judges  “deserved to be killed” over a handgun ban in suburban Chicago.

“Turner was charged by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago with threatening to assault and murder three judges in retaliation for a June 2 decision they made. In a Web posting the same day, Turner called the 7th Circuit ruling, which declined to overturn laws banning handguns in Chicago and a nearby suburb, an “outrage” and said that the judges behind the decision “deserve to be killed.” The judges who decided the case were Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook, Judge Richard Posner and Judge William Bauer. In a second posting on June 3, Turner provided the names, work addresses, phone numbers and photos of the judges.”

Providing that kind of info is taking talk to the next level. Turner was denied bail and sent on his way to the clink. Somehow, someone decided that this guy deserved to be released.

“The government didn’t even come close to proving he was a danger to the public,” said Oroczo of Newark, N.J.’s Bailey & Oroczo.

“Turner is on his way back to his home state of New Jersey after Walter decided in a Wednesday conference call meeting with lawyers that Turner could be released under “strict conditions,” including a prohibition on his speaking to the media, home confinement and electronic monitoring, said Michael Oroczo, who represents Turner. He said his client was currently in the U.S. Marshal Service’s custody in Oklahoma City as he’s being transferred to New Jersey.”

I’m pretty sure that this won’t

33 year old Clifton Williams is facing 6 months in jail for what court documents call a “yawn-like sound” in a  suburban Chicago courtroom.

Will County Judge Daniel Rozak was sentencing Williams’ Cousin Jason Mayfield  on a drug charge on July 23 when Williams let out the “yawn”.

The prosecutor in the courtroom at the time stated that “‘This was a very loud, boisterous, deliberate attempt on the part of this individual to disrupt the proceedings and show disrespect to the court… It was not a guy who involuntarily yawned. This guy was making a statement — a very loud statement — in court.”‘

“Rozak found Williams in contempt of court and sentenced him to six months in jail. However, Rozak could free Williams after a status hearing Thursday, if Williams apologizes and the judge accepts. By then, Williams will have served 21 days.”

Witnesses disagree about whether Williams’ yawn was out of line.
