Justice Breyer a victim of robbery for second time in 2012

May 18, 2012

Washington D.C.: For the second time this year, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer was a victim of robbery. On May 4 2012, Breyer's D.C. home was burglarized. No one was home at the time of the burglary, and it was discovered by a housekeeper. No court materials were stolen and the court did not divulge what was lost. In February, Breyer and his wife were the victims of a robbery by a machete wielding assailant on the Caribbean island of Nevis. They lost $1000 during the incident and the robbery was reported to local officials. While the court does not release information on Supreme Court security, it is well known that the justices are protected when traveling domestically by U.S. Marshals and by the Supreme Court Police Force while at the court. Breyer and the other justices will be returning to DC on May 21 for a new court session.
