The most corrupt judges aren't going to be caught and end up in such videos.

The penalties or lack thereof for many of these judges are baffling. These are people of power who are supposed to have unbiased opinions on their ruling and yet that wasn’t the case for many of them.

In the kids for cash scandal, one of the teenagers had such a problem readjusting after release that they committed suicide. That scandal was a lot worse than most people realize

The scariest thing about this is that these are just the ones who got caught.

Those last two judges sending juveniles to jail for profit is absolutely disgusting. I hope they rot in there.

Public officials who betray the public trust should be given the same punishment as murderers.

It disgusts me on how Judges and Police officers get low sentences simply because they had power.😒😒😒

Yeah finding out any judge is corrupt shouldnt "shock" anyone. Thats like being shocked you get wet in water

Wow so it’s ok to send away adults to these private prisons though right?? Private prisons should be outlawed

With great power comes great responsibility, and apparently great corruption too...

All it takes is one, one judge to convict innocent people for many years in the slammer for stuff they didn’t do.

My friend was one of those kids sentenced to 6 years in juvenile detention for throwing a stapler at his teacher. He sued the town Wilkes Barr, the judges estates and the state of Pennsylvania and won 6 million.

As to the judges actually sent to prison, I'd like to know how that went. I'm pretty certain it wasn't GP. Because it would be awkward to run into someone you just sent there.

Judges in America don't get nearly enough criticism. They're quieter than cops and as greasy as senators. I'm so worried of getting arrested in this country for no other reason than I don't trust the judicial system to throw up their hands and say "We got a busy day ahead, let's just slam the gavel and throw you in prison because it's easier for me than giving you a fair trial."

"Judges Gone Bad". Very timely...

Absolutely unacceptable for any judge to be criminal, unethical, immoral, racist or have questionable actions or behaviours. They must be unbiased, and transparent! They are considered as the top officials and are to be trustworthy to all seeking justice. It's sick how a number of them take advantage of their status'... revolting

The last two judges had their plea deal tossed because a prosecutor had witnessed 1 of them speaking to the news. Apparently he showed absolutely no remorse for his crimes and even Insinuated he did nothing wrong. He also stated the only reason he’s taking the 7 years was because the other judge snitched on him!!

If you think qualified immunity for police officers breaking the law is bad, judicial immunity for judges is almost absolute. One judge ordered the local sheriff's department to go to the house of an attorney who had missed a hearing and "rough him up". The US Supreme Court ruled in Mireles v. Waco (1991) that the judge had absolute immunity from a lawsuit arising from the resulting beating, because the misbehavior occurred entirely within his activities as a judge presiding over a court.

I wish the American people would force through a constitutional ammendment prohibiting the existence of privately owned correctional facilities.

I can't stand how judge's, prosecutors and police who protect each other from exposing serious crimes they committed! I believe there is a certain kind of person who actively seek out these kind of jobs because they want the attention and it allows them to use their controlling personality and not get in trouble. There are good ones out there though.

Keep doing what you guys do, you're awesome!

It’s almost like people in power, protect other people in power at the cost of law, or the majority… makes you think about that old Voltaire quote..

Government officials, cops, etc should get double the time as a regular citizen. They violate their oaths and make up rules as they go daily. It just isn't usually big enough to be noticed or heard. I've heard of most of these cases. Especially the kids for cash and the judge that got into a fight.

I remember that video of #6 That was nuts seeing the judge and lawyer go at it and then go outside the courtroom to literally fight each other

Of all the corrupt judges on this list, the Kids for Cash Scandal is the one I’m most familiar with because Mark Ciavarella was the main subject of this pipeline that lasted for years in Pennsylvania. I even read a book and watched a documentary on this whole thing and it’s not hard to see why this tops the list.

There is a judge you left that is the subject of a documentary called "Cash for Kids"; The judge for decades when send children to a detention center so later they could go to prison for things as simple as telling a bully to leave them alone or playing tag. Why did he do it? His brother-in-law when building his detention center promised him a small fortune for each child he sent him. His brother-in-law was able to have over 100 acres of cells for children as he had sent him well over 7,000 children his way in decades. Eventually, when a former victim of him had finished his prison sentence at 23 the poor kid killed himself and his mother began to run a campaign against him. He sent the kid to the detention center when he was 5 years old for defending a 4 year old classmate from a 10 year old bully, said he was the bully for calling him naughty and sent him to the center until he was 18 and told the state through falsified documents he had been violent while in custody. The poor young man's last words to his mom "sorry Mama everyone says I am bad so I have to go away." Decades of false reports and false imprisonment came to light and he and his brother-in-law were sent to jail and the detention center was shut down. Several of the kids had been with development disabilities and were sent there for "re-education" came to light as well.

imagine getting 5 years in the slammer for a school fight lol

Well good, looks like we've cleaned up all the corruption in the judicial system! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Judges can change peoples lives for the worse . They should not be treated normally in court. They should be judged and sentenced to more than the fullest extent of the law.with great power comes great responsibility

I live in the Wilkes Barre area. I was waiting for Chivarella and the kids for cash scandal to be number one on this list. My best high school friends brother was sent to a juvenile detention center for 5 years after being present during a break in of a small local business. The person who was driving the car that had perpetrated the crime was 18 years old. My brothers friend was only 13 years old at the time. It wasn’t found that he had any part in the crime, and it was proven by video surveillance, but he was still given 5 years for being present. Since that incident he has been in and out of rehabilitation facilities and has never been able to recover from spending his teenage years as a prisoner. They ruined alot of lives.

I lived near Wilkes-barre at the time. My cousin ended up committing suicide due to this judge. She needed help and the justice system failed her.

I still think the sentence for many of the lawyers should be longer

Under the Swedish crown the punishment here for judges being corrupt was death.

The infographic Show makes great videos all the time !

We give judges WAY TOO MUCH power that they think they're above the law and are untouchable.

I’m addicted to this Channel lol

5:50 "Central Arkansas Nursing Centers" (CANC) - What an unfortunate acronym!

I’m glad that the judge threw out the plea deals of those two Pennsylvania judges

Absolute power corrupts absolutely

I love this channel they post so consistently keep it up!

The man in the black robe is a crook. He robs the ppl who can’t afford lawyers

Texas judges still get kickback for juveniles

The judge that gotten into a fight didn’t sound corrupt, just unstable or at least somebody with a serious temper, than again being a judge sounds very stressful so he was probably having a ruff week.

Title: Most corrupted judges Me: *laughing in southeast Asian*

The kids for cash one having privatised prisons is the reason why there shouldnt ever be 'for profit' prisons of any kind. It gives judges and states reasons to put people behind bars for lengthy terms, and for those prisons to then not release them when their sentence is up, adding more reasons for the sentence to be extended. All so a group that owns the prison can make money.

The judge that looked over Marjorie Green's case in Georgia phone prevent her from getting on the ballot must be the same kind of judge because she should have been taking off but the judge didn't seem to have that kind of impartiality towards the situation

I don't know if anyone else caught this, but he referred to "midnight appointments", a clear throwback to John Adams' "midnight judges", appointed just before the end of his presidency. That might be the most clever joke I've ever heard on KZfaq.

"Happily married with two grown daughters " Very poor choice of words 🤣🤣🤣

nice video. Come to Portugal ! (..And this video would be way longer. :D )

Judge Maggio was an Arkansas judge, not Wisconsin.

I saw the video with Public Defender Weinstock and Judge Murphy. But any judge who does wrong should be removed. Equal protection under the rule of law. Justice for all.

I can’t break the law. I am the law.

Interesting this comes out during the whole Roe vs Wade thing. Quite the timing.

Great timing! Very relevant to the USA

How timely I love you guys

I'm actually surprised that Joe Crater didn't make this list.

This channel has such interesting timing

the first story... if a judge gave unfairly good sentences to defendents represented by a public pretender, good. it probably evened out giving them the same decision they wouldve got could they afford a real attorney.

Judge Arthur Spatt should be on this list.

Thank you.

Perfect system of governance is the one which accepts that people can be greedy and thus provides immutable mitigation plan.

9:11 "Sometimes it just takes one bad day" a bit of Joker inspiration, it would seem

Yassssss good video!!

That's how battles are one truly brute force

Impeccable timing for a video like this....

I remember about winestock murphy case in court cam.

First hand experience is the only thing that validates judgment.

There was more that happened than that with murphy. Also the defendant wanted a speedy trial. The public pretender didnt want to let him.

Awesome ! Love infographics so much

Like 10 cool video I love it keep up the good work

These judges should be given a decade a piece minimum

Abuse of power over the powerless

Judge Imbrianni, Somerset County, NJ should be on this list

What I think is an important take away from this is that the behavior involved in what these judges did brings into question every decision that they ever rendered on a case. Imagine if it was an appellate court pulling some shenanigans to cover for the inexcusable behavior of a judge's abuse of discretion. What do you start questioning at that point? Welcome to my world.

I suggest a post about the Brazilian Supreme Court and it's judges, thousands of times worse than your judges.

Ok, I've been prepared for this

good morning/afternoon/night to you!!!

Love true.stories ! Excellent.facts against.evil people! 😲😲😲😲

I grew up in luzerne County were the kids for cash scandal happened and growing up my friends sister had three children who were constantly locked up for nothing and she swore up and down something was going on some kind of corruption but we all thought she just had bad kids. Wow we were so wrong and she was right. What a terrible thing to do to kids and there family's. I remember when it went down seeing the one judge on the news with his wife and kids acting so aragent like him and his family were the real victims.

I live in Luzerne County in Wilkes Barre and I know multiple people that were sentenced by Ciavarella that are now adults and it messed a lot of them up. The majority are now addicts or have lots of other issues going on. This area is known for nothing but bad things, which are all true, sadly.

Love this ep, the expose of a generation 🙈🙉🙊

Karma always catches us with corrupt judges,cops and DAs in one way or another

im a fan im watching ur vids since 2020

Very interesting

Perfect timing haha.

as a resident of Pennsylvania, I’m uncomfortable with the amount of times I’ve heard "Pennsylvania" in this video 😣😖

Judge Murphy will go down as a legend! He whipped a man’s a$$ and walked back into that courtroom like nothing ever happened.

Perfect timing 😉 😂

I've seen some of these guys on Court Cam

Always thought that being a judge is an honorable profession but there's nothing lower than a corrupt one. I mean you're literally hired NOT to be corrupt and to be fair and impartial, that's the #1 qualification for the job.

i Love your vids

This shows how people can easily abuse there power

Maloney also presided over the trial of Tony Spilotro

9:02 THATS IT? Just 12k?!?! Some Drug charges end up costing more

I love the infographics show so much

Mike Maggie's name makes him sound like a character in the sopranos how appropriate

Wilks Bar 😂😂😂

As an Alabamian it's kinda surprising you picked Fuller over Roy Moore.

we have some judges up in alsoa that have been doing the same thing KICKBACKS !
