Son of N.J. Judge Is Killed: Roy Den Hollander, a Lawyer, Is Identified as Suspect – The New York Times

Roy Den Hollander was a self-described anti-feminist lawyer who flooded the courts with seemingly frivolous lawsuits that sought to eliminate women s studies programs and prohibit nightclubs from holding ladies nights.

In one of his most recent cases, he openly seethed against a federal judge in New Jersey, Esther Salas, whom he described in a self-published, 1,700-page book as a lazy and incompetent Latina judge appointed by Obama.

Mr. Den Hollander left the case, in which he challenged the male-only United States military draft, last summer, telling a lawyer who replaced him that he had terminal cancer.

On Sunday afternoon, Mr. Den Hollander showed up at Judge Salas s home in North Brunswick, N.J., and fired multiple gunshots, killing the judge s son and seriously wounding her husband, who is a criminal defense lawyer, investigators said. The judge, who was in the basement at the time, was not injured.
