    thank you for your intelligent reply to my question. carlaj wrote an unbelievable reply but i saw where it was written at 3:28am so that should tell it all. my god! to have that much adrenalin pumping through ones veins at 3:28am could lead to a stroke. when one does not know all the details one should ask and that is what i did. from your response, mikejoycesupporter, i would conclude that the judge is a good man because he has your support. i hope he will come out ok. we need good judges and the tendency in our country today is to bring down good people. carlaj is a scary individual. her post made absolutely no sense while yours was intelligent, well thought out and articulated. thank you.

    I actually am awake at 3:00 am because I happen to work third shift. 1 pm..HARDLY the sign of a professional time of day. As a medical professional most stokes happen between the hours of 12 and 4 pm..puts you right in the center….

    Again off topic.

    The topic was legal and law and what this all tells you is that no justice will be sought for the misinformed.

    As I said before. Do we have ALL the information on the Judge. Mike Joyce Supporter seems to think so.

    Are we voting on Dan or not?

    Does anyone differ for any reason with fact and or law?

    As you said waiting breathlessly, it was over your head.

    I know Mike-great guy-definitely retain him. He’s funny, intelligent and a good guy all around. this fbi stuff is bogus-looks like a scorned ex or something. As for this Dan guy, lets get him-what’s his peeve. He must have been a judge wanna be before he became an unethical disbarred lawyer.

    From Pittsburgh newspaper and others throughout the state: “A federal grand jury today indicted a state Superior Court judge for bilking two insurance companies out of nearly a half-million dollars, federal prosecutors said.
    Michael Thomas Joyce, 58, of Erie, is charged with nine counts of mail fraud and money laundering.

    Prosecutors said Joyce made numerous false representations for two insurance claims related to a 2001 car accident. The companies involved were Erie Insurance Group and State Farm Insurance.”

    Supreme Court’s removal of judge salvages some integrity for state system – was the name of this complete article.

    What US Attiorney has to say about the evidence presented thus far.

    “The bodily injury he says he sustained we believe was fraudulent,” U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan said in part of the indictment

    FACING 120 YEARS FOR THE MAX AND 2.5 MILLION IN FINES??

    HE WAS ALSO SUSPENDED BUT RUNNING FOR RETENTION?

    ANYONE KNOW HOW THAT WORKS?

    EFFECT THE IMAGE OF THE COURT?

    I MEAN EVEN IF ONE CHARGE HE IS FOUND GUILTY (Mail fraud) THAT COULD BE 20 YEARS.

    I ALSO READ THAT HE allegedly USED LEGAL LETTER HEAD TO WRITE A LETTER TO ONE OF THE ATTORNEYS FOR HIS PERSONAL AFFAIRS REGARDING THIS INSURANCE CASE.

    IS THAT IMMORAL AND ILLEGAL TO USE LETTERHEAD FROM YOUR JUDICIAL OFFICE TO WRITE A LETTER AS A JUDGE?

    We are all writing here about how we Know the Judge or lack there of. As I mentioned in postings previous, THE RECORD will stand in regards to the Judge and if any LAWS were broken NOT if he is a “fair” or likeable Judge. Is what he did illegal and does it show impropriert?

    Here’s Morning Call article reciting notes from Judge Joyce indictment as per US Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan.

    ….Judge Joyce routinely presides over Superior Court cases involving insurance, yet, he had the audacity to use his judicial letterhead to press for compensation. ”He clearly presented himself as a judge,” noted U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan, ”and it is possible the insurance company considered that in weighing his claim.”

    Earlier, Joseph A. Massa Jr., chief counsel fo the state’s Judicial Conduct Board, said Judge Joyce wouldn’t be legally required to step down because the charges didn’t directly relate to his judicial role. The Supreme Court has rectified that foggy thinking. Didn’t Judge Joyce make some of his insurance claims on his Superior Court letterhead?

    If convicted, Judge Joyce could be sentenced to 120 years in prison and fined up to $2.25 million. These are felony charges, not misdemeanors.

    The judge ‘pled’ not guilty, it did not say ‘not guilty’. Heck, Ted Bundy pled not quilty at his arraignment. Please go to IJ, 8/21/2007 to the East section and get some truly hilarious updated posting on this judge. YOU might even find it funny(although that may be up for debate.)

    Danny boy-why don’t you try to get your law degree back instead of picking on those that are licensed. You are a sad sad sad boy.
