"My courtroom was not run any different than other juvenile courtrooms in Northeastern Pennsylvania," Ciavarella maintained.

I would not be too quick to dispute this statement.

"..this case has never been a search for the truth, it has always been 'Let's get a conviction at any cost.'" "

Welcome to the legal system Judge.

"Those three words made me the personification of evil. They made me the Antichrist and the devil. Those words caused untold hurt and agony for me and my family. They made me toxic."

Frankly, I have little sympathy for your problems. You made yourself toxic. Oh and welcome to the legal system.

The only thing worse than a lawyer is a judge. Pathetic loser.

In case anyone missed it in the article. Judge Ciavarella is a Democrat.

He could of got away with 7 years max. but his arrogance doomed him:

...Ciavarella pleaded guilty on February 13, 2009, pursuant to a plea agreement, to federal charges of honest services fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion..

...The plea agreement[7] called for Ciavarella to serve up to seven years in prison, pay fines and restitution, and accept responsibility for the crimes.[8] However, Ciavarella has denied that there was a connection between the juvenile sentences he rendered and the kickbacks he received.[9][10] In part because of this denial, on July 30, 2009, Judge Edwin M. Kosik of Federal District Court in Scranton, Pennsylvania rejected the plea agreement.
