Panel finds judge guilty of ethics violations
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Pennsylvania disciplinary panel has ruled that a Philadelphia municipal judge violated judicial ethics through her role in a case-fixing scandal.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the Court of Judicial Discipline found Dawn Segal, 56, guilty of seven violations, including bringing the court into disrepute.
The panel is expected to rule shortly on Segal’s punishment. She hasn’t been criminally charged and remains on unpaid suspension.
The judicial charges are related to the FBI’s investigation of Philadelphia Judge Joseph Waters Jr., who is serving a prison term for fraud. The case cited recorded conversations in which Waters asked Segal to help friends and associates appearing before her.
Inmates sue over lack of Hepatitis C treatment
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee inmates infected with hepatitis C have filed a federal lawsuit against state prison officials, seeking treatment for all inmates who have the potentially deadly disease.
The American Civil Liberties Union and other advocates are alleging in U.S. District Court in Nashville that Tennessee Department of Correction officials are knowingly denying inmates care for their hepatitis C.
The Tennessean reports the lawsuit alleges the department is denying care because the best available medication is too expensive.
Tennessee Department of Correction spokeswoman Neysa Taylor said in an email the department “is currently unaware of the referenced court filing but is confident the department is providing adequate medical care as determined by medical protocol.”
The suit was brought by inmates Charles Graham and Russell L. Davis.
Biker nabbed after Facebook post about eluding cops
LAKE ORION (AP) — A suburban Detroit motorcyclist was apparently fast enough to leave police in the dust during a chase, but not swift enough to stop from bragging about it on Facebook.
Lake Orion police say 33-year old Michael Brown, of Rochester Hills, turned himself in on Tuesday, three weeks after the incident. He’s charged with fleeing police and reckless driving.
Police say an officer pulled up to Brown outside a restaurant after seeing loud motorcycle maneuvers in the street. Brown sped off and the officer eventually stopped pursuing him.
Police say Brown boasted on Facebook that he was going “140 in a 35 mph” zone. He added: “#nojailthisweekend.” Someone shared the post with police.
