An active-duty soldier in Tennessee is accused of threatening to gun down a judge who ruled against him in his 2021 divorce, suggesting she might meet the same fate as a Maryland family court judge who was murdered last month by another aggrieved ex-husband.
Cassidy “Bill” Busbin—who allegedly once killed his own dog in a fit of rage as a 2-year-old child looked on—has subjected Montgomery County Circuit Judge Kathryn Olita to a relentless harassment campaign on Facebook since at least July, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday in Nashville federal court.
The situation became so overwhelming for Olita that she suffered an “emotional breakdown,” says the complaint. She is now afraid to leave the house, has upgraded her home security, is taking self-defense classes, and has started seeing a therapist, it goes on, emphasizing the toll the 29-year-old Busbin has taken on her work in the courtroom.
