The Legal Intelligencer's P.J. D'Annunzio and Hank Grezlak report on the latest judicial corruption scandal in Philadelphia: "The recent guilty plea of a Philadelphia Municipal Court judge to case-fixing charges and the suspension of two other judges, all occurring with the Philadelphia Traffic Court scandal still fresh in the public's mind, has seriously damaged the reputation of the Philadelphia judicial system, members of the legal community said."
Former Municipal Court Judge Joseph C. Waters Jr. has plead guilty to fixing cases for donors who contributed to his campaigns. Other Municipal Court judges allegedly are under federal investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office is predicted to look at the entire court system.
