Summary
Judge Stephen Yekel, 74, died by suicide in his courtroom on his last day in office after losing a re-election bid.
He was found Tuesday morning at Effingham County State Courthouse, with investigators believing the incident occurred late Monday or early Tuesday.
Yekel, appointed in 2022, had recently attempted to resign but was denied by Governor Brian Kemp.
He was also facing a wrongful termination lawsuit from a former court employee.
I literally said the word “maybe” and ended it with a question mark and you’ve decided I want to silence people. Amazing.
All I was hoping for was people being a little tactful about a goddamn suicide, but I guess suggesting that doing that would be nicer is NAZI CENSORSHIP.

I’ll answer your question then: No.
