28 YEARS IN JAIL!

American Judge Sells little kids…Realizes $1million from Racketeering

• Gives 4,000 convictions for under-age children
• Supreme Courts upturn accused judge convictions
• Accept bribes from a private prison contractor to convict young blacks and have them sent to for-profit  for ‘Cash for Kids’ scheme ‘Juvenile Detention Centers’

 BY IRENE THOMPSON/JUDICIAL REPORTER, USA

 ‘CASH-FOR-KIDS’ Judge Mark Ciavarella in Luzerne County, PA, who was sacked for illegally selling ‘fake judgments’, collecting cash allegedly to the tune of over $1million dollars from cartels who sell babies and after given over 4,000 convictions during his year on the bench was handed out 28 years prison term.

His Offence

Naija Standard gathered that Ciavarella after being found guilty of racketeering received 28 years jail term. Ciavarella accepted bribes from a private prison contractor to convict young blacks and have them sent to for-profit for ‘Cash for Kids’ scheme ‘Juvenile Detention Centers’.

During the course of the scandal, Ciavarella made over $1 million to keep the privately-owned juvenile centers packed.

Fake 4,000 convictions

Upon his conviction, all 4,000 convictions given by Ciavarella were dismissed by Supreme Court’s Pennsylvania the grounds of him violating constitutional rights, like the right to Legal Counsel.

In an amoral pursuit of money, the former judge gave excruciatingly heavy-handed sentences for insignificant crimes. On one occasion, he gave a teenage girl a three-month jail sentence for making a MySpace page that “mocked her school’s assistant principal.” A three month sentence for making fun of someone is absurd and absolutely unwarranted. Some of the children that Ciavarella sentenced to jail were as young as 10-years old, who were mostly accused of petty crimes.

Court throws away accused former judge appeal

Naija Standard observed that Ciavarella filed an appeal before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, but the three-judge panel upheld the 28-year prison sentence, originally given by U.S District Judge Edwin Kosik. The panel highly praised Kosik’s ruling against Ciavarella’s corruption, calling it “fair and impartial.”

For the records, Ciavarella had a reputation of being “harsh and autocratic” on the bench. This former judge abused the power with which the state of Pennsylvania entrusted him. Because he lined his pockets at the expense of minors and their families, every day of the sentence is justified.
