Panos Anastasiou, 76, pleaded not guilty at a hearing in Alaska's federal court on Wednesday
Panos Anastasiou, 76, pleaded not guilty at a hearing in Alaska's federal court on WednesdayAn Alaska man was charged and arrested for threatening to injure and kill six justices, according to court filings and the Justice Department.
A grand jury handed up a 22-count indictment against the man, Panos Anastasiou, 76, on Tuesday, charging him with making threats against a federal judge and making threats in interstate commerce. Anastasiou's threatening messages started in March 2023, according to prosecutors, and continued through mid-July. The references to Justice 1's wife and the racial slurs in those messages suggest that justice is Justice Clarence Thomas. The messages directed toward a justice identified in court filings as "Justice 2" were sent not long after a New York Times story revealed that an upside-down American flag flew outside Justice Samuel Alito's home in early January 2021.
