Conviction of Robert Philip Ivers for judicial threats

Overview

A federal jury in St. Paul, Minnesota, convicted 73-year-old Robert Philip Ivers on multiple counts, including two counts of mailing threatening communications and one count of threatening to murder a U.S. District Judge.

Prosecutors revealed that Ivers authored a 236-page manifesto titled ‘How to Kill a Federal Judge,’ which was intended to instruct extremists on how to plan, stalk, and kill judges, politicians, and their families. The document was mailed to a Minneapolis law firm and the University of St. Thomas after library staff in Wayzata alerted authorities to the contents during a copying attempt.

During his arrest, Ivers reportedly claimed to have sent copies of the manifesto to all nine U.S. Supreme Court justices. This legal action follows a 2019 conviction in which Ivers was sentenced to 18 months in prison for plotting to kill U.S. District Judge Wilhelmina Wright.
