It gets worse

Just a couple of days ago I expressed my outrage at two judges in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, who sent kids to a detention center simply so the judges could make money. Now it's starting to look as though the courthouse in Luzerne was a bed of corruption.

The county probation officer has been charged with obstructing justice and altering an official record to cover up some of her nefarious actions. The court administrator, a cousin of one of the disgraced judges, was convicted of stealing $70,000 in gambling proceeds that should have gone to the county.

And there is another possible charge against the two judges, fixing another case.
