At the same time the Judges were allegedly concealing these payments and financial ties, it is alleged the Judges took discretionary actions in a number of matters involving the
juvenile detention facilities
without recusing themselves from those matters and
without disclosing to parties involved in the proceedings their conflict of interest.
This means that any offense would be a
juvenile delinquency prosecution, which involves a secret trial
without a jury, much shorter sentences for the same offenses (that would be served in a
juvenile detention center rather than an adult jail or prison if incarceration was ordered), and the sealing of the record of the conviction when you become an adult.
