Talk:Mark Ciavarella

plead guilty
I thought he plead guilty only "honest services" fraud and tax fraud charges. Not to the cash for kids scam. --217.10.60.85 (talk) 10:20, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Kids for cash scandal
A redirect, Kids for cash scandal, has been created as a placeholder for a new main article about the entire scandal. It currently redirects to Mark Ciavarella. I am going to attempt to throw together a couple of paragraphs to replace the redirect later this morning, any thoughts would be appreciated. Sswonk (talk) 14:13, 25 August 2009 (UTC) ✅ It duplicates a few of the sentences in the Ciavarella article but that should change over time. Sswonk (talk) 16:16, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

I removed the paragraph that described the 2009 appeal as being based on the lack of a guilty plea. There was a guilty verdict in 2011. That would seem to remove the basis of the appeal. I was unable to find any update on any subsequent court decision as to the legitimacy of the forfeiture of pension rights although I assume Ciavarella's action contesting the forfeiture was likely dismissed.

American justice !?
Can we pay inmates at his prison to rape him?....Article states "Ciavarella has denied that there was a connection between the juvenile sentences he rendered and the kickbacks he received", due to this, his punishment was quadroupeled (I've watched a TV-documentary on this scandal) from 7 to 28 years ! Although mr Ciavarella presumably has damaged some youth in Pennsylvania, not all convicted were innocent.
 * And 28 years (of which 21 are for talking about the first 7) appear to me to far far too long.
 * For American society in general, might the power he had as juvenile judge been too much. And surelly more people must have been involved. I think this also clearly demonstrates why prisons (of all kind) must be owned and run by the nation, state, county or city - not private owned prisons. The same goes for police, military, large hospitals etc (Ment for libertanians) Boeing720 (talk) 06:22, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
