Trial dates are set for the man accused of stalking Chief Justice Jill Karofsky.
Officials accuse 37-year-old Ryan Thornton of sending threatening emails and making multiple calls to Karofsky and the Office of Lawyer Regulation between August and October. This comes from Thornton’s belief that the court improperly handled his grievance against a former attorney. Thornton was arrested last month and is charged with one felony count of stalking. His trial is scheduled to start at the end of January 2026.
