Flick Expresses Disappointment Over Biden’s Commutation of Sentence for Former Judge Conahan of ‘Kids for Cash' Scheme

Dec. 16, 2024 /

WILLIAMSPORT - State Rep. Jamie Flick (R-Lycoming/Union) expressed deep disappointment after learning that President Joe Biden had commuted the prison sentence of former Luzerne County judge Michael Conahan last week, alongside more than 1,500 other individuals. Flick, who has long been an outspoken advocate for justice reform, criticized the decision, calling it a troubling signal that undermines accountability, particularly for those involved in such serious criminal conduct.
