A former judge shot and killed himself when FBI agents arrived at his Orange County home to arrest him Tuesday, police sources tell CBS News New York.

A quiet condominium complex along Route 416 in Campbell Hall quickly turned into a chaotic scene. A big police response was seen at the Blackburne Homes complex, where Stewart Rosenwasser, a former county court judge, took his own life.

Rosenwasser, who resigned from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office in June, was accused in an indictment unsealed Tuesday of taking approximately $63,000 in bribes to leverage his position in the DA’s office to investigate two people.

    Life on a judge minimum wage is hell, it’s almost impossible to survive or afford caviar each day, it was his way out of the missery.
    Also judges are entitled to bribes, supreme court is showing the way for all judges.
