Jamar Warren, 31, of Rochester, was sentenced Monday to 87 months to 240 months’ incarceration by Judge Anthony Servitto in the 16th Circuit Court in Macomb County for threatening to shoot 16th Circuit Court Judge Kathryn Viviano after she sentenced him to prison for two unrelated offenses in November 2022, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

Warren pled guilty in January to one count of Making a Terrorist Threat.

“We cannot tolerate violent threats made against judges for simply doing their job,” said Nessel. “Intimidating a judge is an attack on the rule of law itself and undermines the entire judicial system. My office will continue to take such threats seriously and prosecute individuals who commit these crimes to the fullest extent of the law.”

Warren was charged by the Department of the Attorney General in April 2023 with one count of Making a Terrorist Threat and one count of Using a Computer to Make a Terrorist Threat.
