[QUOTE="klmno, post: 258925, member: 3699"] They're showing this on tv right now on 20/20. Apparently there were 2 judges involved- and they had arranged to have public funding close the regular detention center so the kids would have to go to the private one that was providing kickbacks. Oh this is good- the judge says that he was only basing his sentencing on what the intake and other legal recommended and that it was decided on before the juvenile even got into court. Others said that the other legal people had to have known something weird was going on, if they weren't in on it themselves. They had some higher up attny on saying this was all backwards- he said that the juvenile judge should NEVER decide the outcome or even read the recommendations of the intake people or anyone else before going to court and hearing all the facts and then the judge should take the other stuff into consideration for sentencing purposes only. Well, if that's true, they could bust the county I live in to He!! and back. [/QUOTE]
