Brooklyn judge takes shot at AG Eric Holder over no death penalty for killer of two NYPD detectives: "A Brooklyn judge took a shot at U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Tuesday for 'failing' to go to the Supreme Court to appeal a ruling that tossed out the death penalty for a convicted killer of two NYPD detectives.
Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis bristled with emotion when he ordered federal prosecutors to obtain a letter from Holder pledging the government's intention to seek the death sentence against Ronell Wilson in a retrial of the penalty phase of his 2007 trial.
Garaufis said he was requiring the letter before the case moves forward 'in view of the fact that the attorney general failed to exhaust all appeals and abandoned the appeal of the case.'"
