THE CRIMINAL case against an ex-Philadelphia cop who allegedly ordered a woman to strip naked and watch him masturbate during a Kensington drug raid was thrown out Tuesday thanks to a screw-up at the District Attorney’s Office.
A MEMBER OF the Colwyn Police Department is under investigation for repeatedly using a Taser on a juvenile while the boy was in a holding cell last week, according to borough officials and sources.
Dr. Anthony Abrams, who holds a Ph.D. and is director of Mental Health Services at Bucks County Correctional Facility, was conducting federally-funded research on substance abuse when he was allegedly assaulted by Police Officer Eric Burke at 5th and York Streets on March 8, 2010.
Abrams’ injuries were so severe that he suffered a crushed eye socket and had to receive a surgically inserted titanium implant to repair his face. He sued the city — and the city settled the case on March 21st in the amount of $285,000. Next month, the Police Advisory Commission will determine appropriate actions to be taken against Burke, who is still on duty pending the PAC hearing.

Par for the course for Kensington. Srsly. Kenzie is a shithole. Delaware county is just as bad. And Pennsyltucky? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit. They'll sell your kids into juvie.
A Pennsylvania judge was sentenced to 28 years in prison in connection to a bribery scandal that roiled the state's juvenile justice system. Former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella Jr. was convicted of taking $1 million in bribes from developers of juvenile detention centers. The judge then presided over cases that would send juveniles to those same centers. The case came to be known as "kids-for-cash."

Its sponsor, state Rep. Stephen Barrar, R-Delaware County, says that Berry got a "slap on the wrist" in 2009 for running a real-estate business out of his chambers, adding that it's "outrageous" that the state Supreme Court allows him to stay on the bench.
