Former Judge Convicted for Lying About Injuries in Auto Accident

Posted on Thursday 20 November 2008

Former Pennsylvania Superior Court Judge Michael T. Joyce was convicted Wednesday on charges that he lied about neck and back injuries and abused his position on the bench to receive a $440,000 payout from two insurance companies following an automobile accident. Found guilty on two counts of mail fraud and six counts of money laundering, Joyce faces a maximum of decades in prison, but a shorter sentence is likely because Joyce has no criminal record.
