Philadelphia Traffic Court Abolished; Seven Judges Convicted
https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/new...affic-court-abolished-seven-judges-convicted/
The first black woman to be named president judge of Philadelphia's Traffic Court has been sentenced to two years in federal prison in connection with a widespread ticket-fixing scandal that also led to the convictions or guilty pleas of six other judges. Another Traffic Court judge charged in the case was acquitted at trial.
At her sentencing hearing on December 5, 2014, former judge Thomasine Tynes, 71, became the first member of the court to publicly admit that she had participated in fixing traffic tickets for family members, friends and political allies for the entire 20 years she served on the bench.
