Twenty-Eight Years
admin / 11.Aug, 2011
Former Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge,
Mark A. Ciavarella, Jr., was sentenced this morning to 28 years imprisonment in the now infamous “
cash for kids” scandal. Ciavarella will be
89 when the sentence runs. Ciavarell was also ordered to pay over
a million dollars in restitution. We have written before (
here,
here, and
here) about the problem of taking money that does not belong to you, but what Ciavarella did was something worse, and the punishment reflects that.
