Case Style:
United States of America v. Curtis Brown
Case Number:
Judge:
Court: United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (Duval County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: United States Attorney’s Office
Defendant's Attorney:
Brown was serving a sentence for drug trafficking in the Florida State Prison in Raiford in November 2021 when he sent a handwritten letter to a federal judge’s chambers. The letter stated that the judge’s “recent refusal to grant warranted relief” gave Brown no other choice but to use his federal stimulus money to pay for someone to kill the judge.
The letter stated that if Brown could not get to the judge in time, then Brown would settle for a member of the judge’s family. The letter was signed by Brown, and beneath his signature was a statement that the letter better stay between them, or it would get worse.
Outcome: Defendant pleaded guilty and faces an additional 10 years in prison.
