A former judge shot and killed himself when FBI agents arrived at his Orange County home to arrest him Tuesday, police sources tell CBS News New York.

A quiet condominium complex along Route 416 in Campbell Hall quickly turned into a chaotic scene. A big police response was seen at the Blackburne Homes complex, where Stewart Rosenwasser, a former county court judge, took his own life.

Rosenwasser, who resigned from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office in June, was accused in an indictment unsealed Tuesday of taking approximately $63,000 in bribes to leverage his position in the DA’s office to investigate two people.

    Could be. There’s no amount of money or jail time that would be enough for me to commit suicide.

      That’s probably because you’re a decent person who hasn’t spent their entire life putting people in cages.

      really? life in prison would have me seriously consider it. I’ve considered it plenty from normal life also so maybe that’s why.
