**** Many of the children had appeared before judges without a lawyer.
Ciavarella pleaded guilty earlier this month to federal criminal charges of fraud and other tax charges, according to the U.S. attorney's office. Former Luzerne County Senior Judge Michael Conahan also pleaded guilty to the same charges. The two secretly received more than $2.6 million, prosecutors said.
The judges have been disbarred and have resigned from their elected positions. They agreed to serve 87 months in prison under their plea deals. Ciavarella and Conahan did not return calls, and their attorneys told CNN that they have no comment.
The federal government began investigating in 2006.
The kickback scandal highlights a major problem in the juvenile justice system in Luzerne County and across the country, attorneys say. They say hundreds of children who appeared before Ciavarella didn't have lawyers.

" How We Lost Equal Justice Under the Law. "
My Name is Gerard Ange' I am president , CEO of two television broadcasting companies, this is our story about our search for justice after we were targeted by theft by a corporation with; self described " Deep Government Connections." Our Story will prove that to you that corruption is everywhere...
In the last six years, we were in front of many good Judges honest Judges "that we respected". But now, out of nowhere a new judge has appeared, a judge that was substituted into our case as "Judge Barbara Miller"our trial Judge was quickly transfered. Like a bad movie from the first moment I was before him Judge True seemed hell-bent on one mission. A Mission to destroy our case!
We watched him on April 10th reversing Judge Millers decisions and destroying our case after six years... Right in front of our eyes...
In the first hearing before Judge True: " I was ordered by Judge John M. True III to represent my own corporate case in trial." " I told him NO!!! That I couldn't do that because this is a corporate case, that the corporate lawsuit would be defaulted. And, I already have an Attorney.
Judge True III replied: [quote] "That if I said that YOU would have to represent yourself - Then... that's exactly what you will have to do!... So, Deal With It-!!!!" Next Case. [end quote].
It was just so crazy... I was shocked!!! It just didn't seem real! This type of stuff isn't supposed to happen?
Below are to the Official Court Transcripts where reference to him forcing me to represent our case:
