Tiwann WileyThe case of a man accused of threatening to kill a Hamilton County judge and her children has been bound over to the grand jury.
“This was not just a threat to a judge. This was a threat and an assault on the entire judicial process,” General Sessions Judge Bob Moon said Thursday after the conclusion of testimony in the preliminary hearing.
He also raised the bond on Tiwann Wiley, 38, from $50,000 to $250,000.
Wiley has been charged with retaliation against a judge for making the threats to Juvenile Court Judge Emma Andrews after she refused his Nov. 2 plea to have his current sentence reduced on charges of contempt of court.
Juvenile Court Officer Marlon Williams testified that he was escorting Wiley out of the courtroom when Wiley said, “When I come back I will be strapped and I will kill that [expletive].”
