With utter disdain for the rule of law, defendants Mark A. Ciavarella, Jr.
and Michael T. Conahan, in combination and conspiracy with other
defendants named herein, have collectively perpetrated, through their acts
and omissions, what ranks as one of the largest and most serious violations
of children’s rights in the history of the American legal system. Both in its
duration, spanning approximately five years between 2003 and 2008 – and
its magnitude, inflicting damage on the lives of thousands of children and
their families – the scope of defendants’ unlawful scheme is profoundly
shocking. In choosing to treat children as commodities that could be traded
for cash, the defendants have placed an indelible stain on the Luzerne
County juvenile justice system.
