Georgia Judge Kills Himself Inside in His Own Courtroom.

WSAV reported Tuesday that 74-year-old Judge Stephen Yekel, an Effingham County state court judge, committed suicide in a county courtroom. Effingham County Sheriff Jimmy McDuffie said Yekel was discovered around 10 am by a deputy but reportedly shot himself late Monday night or early Tuesday.

The Effingham County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Yekel committed suicide.

Making things even worse, Tuesday was supposed to be Yekel’s final day on the bench. He lost his re-election bid earlier this year.

Yekel was appointed to the bench by Kemp in June 2022 after serving as a lawyer for more than 45 years. WSAX notes he worked as a special agent for Georgia’s Alcohol & Tobacco Tax Unit and was an investigator at the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office.
