Good - and I hope they are expedient trials too.

Update:
Ciavarella found guilty on 12 of 39 counts.

Guilty of racketeering, money laundering, and failing to disclose income. Not guilty of kickbacks and various bribery charges.

We'll see how the sentencing works out.

Ciavarella gets 28 years. I don't know if he will be eligible for parole. I wonder if anyone has bothered to add up the total number of years he sentenced all those juveniles to, in order to get the $2.8 million in kickbacks from the for-profit prisons?
