Litigation surrounding one of the Pennsylvania justice system’s worst scandals in recent years came to a close last week when a federal judge handed down a $206 million verdict against former Judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan.

The two ex-judges were convicted years ago for their roles in the Luzerne County “kids-for-cash” scandal, where they were found to be sending hundreds of children to juvenile detention centers in exchange for massive kickbacks from the facilities’ developers.
