Biden pardons Judge Conahan, who accepted $2.1M in ‘Kids for Cash’ scheme

Biden has pardoned Judge Michael Conahan, who accepted $2.1 million in the “Kids for Cash” scheme by imprisoning teens over minor offenses.

A mother whose son committed su*cide after being locked up in the scheme spoke out:

“I am shocked and I am hurt.

Conahan’s actions destroyed families, including mine, and my son’s deathis a tragic reminder of the consequences of his abuse of power.

This pardon feels like an injustice for all of us who still suffer.”
