Aurora man sentenced for threatening judge
Editor's note: The Illinois Appellate Court reversed Alexander Wood's conviction on Nov. 20, 2017, court records show. This story has been updated to correct that a jury found Alexander Wood guilty in 2014.
Jurors found a 27-year-old Aurora man guilty of threatening a Cook County judge, court records show.
A Cook County judge sentenced him Tuesday to two years in prison, according to court records. He received credit for 533 days in custody.
On March 7, 2013, a caller left a voice mail on an assistant public defender's phone at a Chicago courthouse indicating he wanted to take revenge on the judge who presided over his case, Cook County sheriff's police said.
Sheriff's investigators determined the call came from a cellphone belonging to Wood, who sheriff's police say was sentenced to 18 months probation in 2011 for making threatening phone calls to a corporation.
