How come a judge can do stuff like this, without anyone else noticing/care? One would think a punishment so serious as prison would involve more than one pair of eyes.
- fixermark 12y agoHonestly, this article is a bad (also, old) summary of the story. You'll get better information from the Wikipedia site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Ciavarella http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Ciavarella Long story short: he was sentencing them to juvenile detention, not adult prison. The bar is lower for juvenile detention.

I read that as "He sentenced them to juvenile detention where threshold for detection in case of abuse is lower." As a hacker/engineer, ask yourself this: if a (trusted third) party is getting kickbacks for providing false positives, what do you call that?
