I’m Having A Hard Time…

By Michael D. Bonasera, Esq.

I’m having a hard time remembering when have been this incensed.

With Judge Conahan serving as president judge in control of the budget and Judge Ciavarella overseeing the juvenile courts, they set the kickback scheme in motion in December 2002, the authorities said.

They shut down the county-run juvenile detention center, arguing that it was in poor condition, the authorities said, and maintained that the county had no choice but to send detained juveniles to the newly built private detention centers.

Prosecutors say the judges tried to conceal the kickbacks as payments to a company they control in Florida.

87 months in federal prison, resigning from the bench and bar and losing their pensions is a small thing.  A small thing compared to the surreal horror these “men” put these children through.  I know this blog is public and that I should watch what I write, so I’ll apologize in advance for the following indiscretion:  These men had better hope I never meet them in real life.
