Maryland taking applications to replace murdered circuit judge
Fox News
Maryland's state judiciary is now accepting applications to replace Judge Andrew Wilkinson, who was killed in October by Pedro Argote after ruling against him in a custody battle.
Argote, 49, was found dead the following week in a heavily wooded area outside Hagerstown not far from where the shooting unfolded. An autopsy later confirmed he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a spokesperson for Maryland’s chief medical examiner said Tuesday.
Wilkinson, 52, was appointed to the bench nearly four years ago, fulfilling his longtime dream of becoming a judge after working as an assistant county attorney and later starting his own law office, according to loved ones.
