Biden's Commutation in 'Kids for Cash' Case Sparks Outrage in PA
President Joe Biden's decision to commute the sentence of Michael Conahan, a former judge involved in the 'kids for cash' scandal, has sparked outrage in northeastern Pennsylvania. Conahan, who was sentenced to 17 years for accepting kickbacks to send children to for-profit jails, had already served most of his sentence. The scandal led to the overturning of thousands of juvenile convictions. Families affected by the scandal, including those who lost children, expressed anger and disappointment, viewing the commutation as an injustice.
