US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer robbed at machete point A spokeswoman for the 73-year-old, one of nine members of America's highest court, said that around $1,000 was stolen during the February 9 robbery but that no one was hurt. The US high court has been on a four-week break in the middle of its current term during which it is scheduled to hear landmark cases involving healthcare and immigration. A spokesman for the US Marshals Service said the agency does not discuss the particulars of its judicial security operations, including those involving Supreme Court justices. "What I can confirm is that the Marshals Service is aware of the incident involving Justice Breyer on the Caribbean island of Nevis and is assisting the Supreme Court Police and local law enforcement authorities with the investigation as needed," spokesman Jeff Carter said.
