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

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

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

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

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.

"Judges Gone Bad". Very timely...

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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."

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

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!!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Absolute power corrupts absolutely

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

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

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

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

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

Judge Maggio was an Arkansas judge, not Wisconsin.

I can’t break the law. I am the law.

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.

Abuse of power over the powerless

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.

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.

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.

This channel has such interesting timing

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

That's how battles are one truly brute force

First hand experience is the only thing that validates judgment.

Judge Arthur Spatt should be on this list.

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

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

These judges should be given a decade a piece minimum

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

How timely I love you guys

Yassssss good video!!

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

Awesome ! Love infographics so much

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

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

Impeccable timing for a video like this....

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

Thank you.

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

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.

Perfect timing haha.

This shows how people can easily abuse there power

I remember about winestock murphy case in court cam.

Great timing! Very relevant to the USA

Ok, I've been prepared for this

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.

Rich ppl should never get house arrest. Throw them in the ground.

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.

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

Most corrupt lawyers in the world

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

I love the infographics show so much

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

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

i Love your vids

I have been trapped in the legal system over a year, due to corrupted, racist arbitrator and judge decisions. It was a civil dispute which should be fairly resolved at the lowest court, but I was forced to appeal at the highest court. It took me so much time and stress that I understand why Canadians don't trust the legal system. When judges gone bad, public trust in government diminishes.

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

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

I feel like the Kids for Cash judges got off a bit too easy.

Perfect timing 😉 😂

Very interesting

I'm the frist Filipino fan of this guys

A lawyer and judge fighting each other... I see no issue.

geez, these judges are mild, just gotta look in South America

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.

Corrupted are mostly the ones that don't want to look

good morning/afternoon/night to you!!!

im a fan im watching ur vids since 2020
