When a Maryland judge, who recognized the signs of domestic violence in a divorce proceding, ruled against a father, he had little idea that he would be shot to death in his driveway just hours later. Elsewhere, in Arizona, a judge asked for an armed guard to be present at all times in the divorce courtroom, yet the children of the marriage were still allowed to stay with dad without any oversight or conditions.
