Kory Jolly, 40, is now facing charges after prosecutors say he sent threatening calls while jailed — including direct threats against a Lubbock judge handling his family law case. Court documents say Jolly told the judge he knew where they lived and warned, “If the case does not go in my favor, I’m going to hurt someone really bad… it’s going to be that judge.” When reminded that threatening a judge is a crime, Jolly allegedly replied, “It’s no threat. It’s a promise.”
Those threats weren’t limited to the bench. Jolly also allegedly threatened the woman he’s involved with and her attorney, vowing violence if the attorney “had anything to do with this.” He’s got a past of violating protective orders — emails from December 2022 to the same woman are cited in court papers — and is now jailed on charges of violating a protective order and retaliation, with bonds totaling $253,000.
That awkward moment when someone confuses “court of law” with their personal threat hotline. Look, we all get frustrated with legal delays and bad rulings, but most people handle it without menacing judges or promising murder like it’s part of the docket. Jolly’s apparently starring in his own low-budget revenge thriller — except the script lands him in a cell and not a box office.
