Boston 107, Minnesota 105A disgraced Pennsylvania judge sentenced to more than 17 years in prison for accepting money to send young offenders to privately run juvenile detention centers is now a free man. On Thursday, President Joe Biden commuted the sentence of former Luzerne County Judge Michael T. Conahan, one of two judges convicted for their roles in the shocking bribery scheme known as “Kids for Cash.” Conahan, 72, and fellow Luzerne County Judge Mark Arthur Ciavarella Jr., 74, shut down a county-run juvenile detention facility and accepted $2.8 million in kickbacks from the builder and co-owner of two for-profit lockups in Pennsylvania. The former judges then sent children as young as 8 years old to the privately run facilities. Some of the young offenders had been charged with misdemeanors, including making fun of an assistant principal on social media. The scheme has often been described as the worst judicial scandal in Pennsylvania history. Conahan pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy charges. He was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison in September 2011, but was sent to home confinement in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On Thursday, Conahan became one of nearly 1,500 people who had their convictions commuted by Biden , which the White House described as the biggest single-day act of clemency in the nation’s history. “America was built on the promise of possibility and second chances,” the president said in a statement, adding he’s had “the great privilege of extending mercy to people who have demonstrated remorse and rehabilitation.” Biden’s announcement came as a shock to some of the victims affected by the scandal, who saw the president’s move as “deeply painful.” “It’s a big slap in the face for us once again,” Amanda Lorah, one of the thousands of kids wrongfully imprisoned as part of the scheme, told local NBC affiliate WBRE. Sandy Fonzo, whose son died by suicide in 2010 after he was placed in juvenile detention, said she was “shocked and hurt.” “Conahan‘s actions destroyed families, including mine, and my son‘s death is a tragic reminder of the consequences of his abuse of power,” Fonzo told the Citizen Voice. “ This pardon feels like an injustice for all of us who still suffer . Right now I am processing and doing the best I can to cope with the pain that this has brought back.” Ciavarella, the other judge in the scheme, was sentenced in 2011 to 28 years behind bars . In 2021, he filed a motion seeking compassionate release citing health issues, but that request was denied.Lesson from a year at war: In contrast to the Russians, Ukrainians master a mix of high- and low-end technology on the battlefieldBucks get second crack at NBA Cup semis vs. Trae Young, Hawks
California couple killed in Mexican town plagued by violence were visiting for the holidaysWindows 11 remains the driver of growth in PCs, not AIBy MICHELLE L. PRICE NEW YORK (AP) — Chad Chronister, Donald Trump’s pick to run the Drug Enforcement Administration, said Tuesday he was withdrawing his name from consideration, becoming the second person selected by the president-elect to bow out quickly after being nominated for a position requiring Senate confirmation. Sheriff Chronister, the top law enforcement officer in Hillsborough County, Florida, said in a post on X that he was backing away from the opportunity, which he called “the honor of a lifetime.” “Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration,” Chronister wrote. He did not elaborate, and Trump’s transition team did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. Chronister follows former Republican congressman Matt Gaetz , Trump’s first pick to serve as attorney general, in withdrawing his name for a post in the administration. Gaetz withdrew following scrutiny over a federal sex trafficking investigation that cast doubt on his ability to be confirmed as the nation’s chief federal law enforcement officer. Trump’s pick of Chronister for the DEA job drew backlash from conservatives, who raised concerns over his actions during the COVID-19 pandemic and his saying that his office “does not engage in federal immigration enforcement activities.” In March 2020, Chronister arrested the pastor of a megachurch who held services with hundreds of people and violated a safer-at-home order in place aimed at limiting the spread of the Covid virus. “Shame on this pastor, their legal staff and the leaders of this staff for forcing us to do our job. That’s not what we wanted to do during a declared state of emergency,” Chronister said at the time. “We are hopeful that this will be a wakeup call.” U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky, was among those airing public complaints, saying Chronister should be “disqualified” for the arrest. Others flagged comments Chronister made in a video about Florida’s immigration laws that he released in 2023 that circulated again online after Trump named him last weekend.

We do not target individuals based on their immigration status. That’s the authority of federal agencies.” Trump has made a sweeping crackdown on immigration a central focus of his campaign and his aims for his coming administration.
