Slain Judge`s Wife Is Shot In Robbery
June 05, 1985
Judge Gentile was murdered in his courtroom by an irate husband in a contested divorce case. The same man also murdered his wife’s divorce lawyer. It all occurred in Courtroom 1601 of the Daley Center. The room is still in use with a memorial plaque on the wall.
