So much utter corruption at all levels in this country.

[clee1]

These “judges” should be beaten to death.

Our Nation is toast, unless “We the People” take back our governmental institutions from the best criminals that money can buy.

“Name that Party”

I had to search 10 articles to find their obvious poltical party.

[Red in Blue PA]

We are well on track to 3rd world status with this type of corruption.

It needs to be made an example of when found. Sadly, that is not the case.

[Nervous Tick]

Corrupt judges, eh.

I’ll bet a corrupt judge is *very* popular in prison.

Forget “your honor” — get used to answering to “prison b!tch”.

[longtermmemmory]

...and police officers don’t have ticket quotas...and traffic court magistrates don’t take the budget into consideration...

From "Caddyshack"

Judge Smails: I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.

[jazusamo]

Their plea agreements call for sentences of more than seven years behind bars.

Well 25 years is more than 7 and 25 years sounds like too light a sentence.

This county is so corrupt, the Federal DOJ has a website for this: http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/pam/Victim_Witness/Luzerne_county_corruption.html

[rednesss]

Apparently the whole justice system is corrupt, take the case of H. Beatty Chadwick, now incarcerated in his 14th year behind bars on a CIVIL contempt charge. The masters in Black Robes think they are gods.

[FormerACLUmember]

Two typical democrat party elected officials. Michael T. Conahan is followed by Mark A. Ciavarella. Our Congress is now controlled by these type of people.:

[scrabblehack]

What, there’s some nasty old lady in the neighborhood who pays the judges to send kids to jail?

[Popman]

The high court, meanwhile, is looking into whether hundreds or even thousands of sentences should be overturned and the juveniles' records expunged.

I guess the only real silver lining in this tragedy is a whole generation of youth are now conservative after knowing first hand the corruption of a democrat held state

[Darksheare]

Amateurs.
In NY state, it’s called a surcharge.
They soak you for money and let you go so the process can repeat.

[John123]

Youngsters were brought before judges without a lawyer

Isn't that Illegal? I wonder why this went on so long?

[Texas Eagle]

Uhhhh...how much would it cost for me to sponsor two kids?

Just kidding!

Sort of.

Hypothetically speaking, though.....

[Righting]

Well, “thanks” to Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan for behaving with our beautiful USA as if it was Palestine or some deeply corrupted third world country.

[Fred Nerks]

Suspended Judge Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. and decertified Senior Judge Michael T. Conahan plan to plead guilty this Thursday to charges they took $2.6 million in kickbacks from two individuals tied to Pennsylvania Child Care LLC, a company whose juvenile detention centers earned nearly $30 million from county contracts. Court documents outlining the charges against Ciavarella and Conahan said a Luzerne County attorney who was co-owner of Pennsylvania Child Care made payments, and Pennsylvania Child Care was co-owned by Moran’s law partner Robert J. Powell. LINK
