Judge Alvin Hellerstein Dies at 92

This one's a sad story, folks. Federal judge Alvin Hellerstein has died at the age of 92.

Fox News reports he died of natural causes. The network says he oversaw the Nicolas Maduro case and denied a bond request from Cilia Flores. CBS News describes him as a judge who for decades presided over some of the country's most high-profile cases. RedState also reported his death and tied him to the Maduro case and to Trump legal battles.

Ninety-two years is a long life, and decades on the federal bench is a long stretch of public service. Whatever one thought of his rulings, our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this hard time.
