Cash For Kids briber getting off light

When the "powers in charge" get caught being corrupt, they should get 3X the normal sentence.
Said the TWO judges are serving lengthy terms. Any idea what they got?

This ties in nicely with the current education thread.

I ain't no communist, but for-profit has limits. Kids died because of these people.

They're gonna need a boatload of tats ASAP!

Judges should be serving the total amount of time they erroneously sentenced young offenders ... time sentenced that was out of the "normal" range for offenses. Have they recovered the bribe money or seized assets of the judges?

I actually work with a guy who was one of those "offenders" in his teens. Nothing worse than a dirty judge.

One judge got 27 years, the other got 17. Here's a good article that lays out the scam: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/28/us/28judges.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

It wasn't just the kids for cash. As president judge, Ciaverella was in a position to eliminate the budget for the county-owned detention center while at the same time approving a bloated lease for the for-profit detention center. Squashing audits, threatening whistle blowers, transferring people who asked too many questions, and denying council to people in a courtroom were common practice for him. Makes me sick.
