"Joyce guilty; Former state judge faces prison term"

"Joyce guilty; Former state judge faces prison term": The Erie (Pa.) Times-News today contains an article that begins, "He faces a likely prison sentence of four to five years. The federal government has the power to take his $360,000 Millcreek Township house and his $19,000 2003 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, as well as the money he spent on a personal plane and investments. With his conviction on federal mail-fraud and money-laundering charges on Wednesday, former state Superior Court Judge Michael T. Joyce, a former Erie County judge who rose to the top ranks of the state's courts to preside over the liberty and property of others, now faces prison and financial ruin."

Today in The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Jason Cato reports that "Former judge found guilty in fraud, money laundering case."

Paula Reed Ward of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that "Fraud jury convicts ex-judge."

And The Legal Intelligencer reports that "Former Judge Convicted for Lying About Injuries in Auto Accident."

It will be interesting to see whether this former Pennsylvania intermediate state appellate court judge will hire an appellate lawyer to handle his appeal.
