Murder of political dissidents and public officials has been a fact of life in this country for decades, perhaps dating back as far as General George Patton dying due to complications from a freak auto accident and James Forrestal being "suicided" from an upper floor of the Bethesda Naval Hospital. You can certainly look at the sudden deaths of eyewitnesses to and people with foreknowledge of the Kennedy assassination, at least those whose story departed from the Warren Commission narrative. Moving into the 1980s and 1990s, there were the numerous deaths of enemies of the Clintons. Going into this century, deaths of people like Seth Rich, Jeffrey Epstein, and Whitey Bulger, attributed to random crime, accident, or suicide, are too convenient to the powers that be to ignore. Georgia has its share of killings attributed to "tragic accidents", for example, the death of Harrison Deal, the boyfriend of Lucy Kemp, daughter of Governor Kemp, in a "car accident" just when Governor Kemp was approving an audit of the 2020 Presidential election results.
It is likely Judge McAfee decided that he wanted to live out the natural term of his life and avoid fatal accidents, random violence of Arkancide.
