At 61 that's a death sentence. I'll be interested to see how much of it he serves, provided it isn't overturned on appeal. For now, I say, good riddance! Judges occupy a critical position in our system, and must exercise the absolute highest levels of integrity. That he would, in some fashion, sentence young American citizens to detention for crimes they didn't commit, or for longer than they deserved, for his own greed, is beyond appauling. What an absolutely disgusting wretch.

More of a life sentence, but I get your point.
There was a father calling in to a local radio program today whose son was smoking at school, reprimanded, and then arrested (at 15) for smoking across the street at school (I think he was giving the cops some verbal abuse for arresting him). He was taken to court shackled to 4 other kids, the trial for all of then lasted less than 5 minutes, and he was sentenced to 2 years in a juvie facility. The PO told his dad not to hire a lawyer, because with Ciavarella, it would make things worse for his son.

Disgusting; he’s beyond contempt. This is exactly the kind of corruption that our Constitution, and indeed the rule of law itself, is meant to prevent.

May he rot in his cell and may Bubba make him his wife.

As far as the Kenzakoski case is concerned, the kid's father planted drug paraphernalia in his son's truck, then turned him into the police.
The 'good' judge took it from there.
Yet another reason to never, ever go to the 'authorities' to solve a family problem. They will only make things much, much worse.

Maybe you havent been to prison lately, but it aint like you see in the movies. “Bubba” usually leaves you alone if you fight back. Same elementary school playground rules apply. You fight back, you gain respect.

Federal, no parole, he’ll die in jail as he should.

With any luck the 3rd will tell Ciavarella to pound sand, finding no legal irregularities in his trial. Judges this bad embarrass other judges.

I generally take a dim view of nods and winks at any system that glorifies bullying, which is the very thing that motivates many crimes and knowing torts. Not every single denizen of that place is going to be there until he dies — many will be loosed upon the streets, but with “lessons learned” that no morally good man would want to teach.

This was federal - not the in and state court. He will serve long time, assuming he lives a long time.
