An Alaska man, aged 76, has been indicted on federal charges for sending graphic threats to injure and kill six Supreme Court justices and their family members. The accused, Panos Anastasiou, allegedly sent over 465 threatening messages through a public court website. These messages included graphic threats of assassination and torture, along with racist and homophobic rhetoric.
The indictment, filed on Wednesday, does not specify which justices Anastasiou targeted. However, Attorney General Merrick Garland stated that the threats were made in retaliation for decisions the accused disagreed with. Garland emphasized the importance of public officials being able to carry out their duties without fearing for their safety or the safety of their families.
