Reviews
"It is one more exposé of 'how things had been done in Cambria County' for a very long time. ... (Siwy) names the king makers and 'leg breakers' who dominated the landscape. This book reads a lot like the white pages of a 1980's telephone directory of high-profile citizens whose powerful and sometimes terrifying names were often whispered behind closed doors." -- Nick Jacobs, former CEO of the Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau
Synopsis
In 1988, Judge Joe O'Kicki was regarded by his peers as one of the most brilliant legal minds in the United States. He was newly re-married, sworn in as the president judge of a Pennsylvania county and on the fast track to a federal bench.... Silently, however, a state police vice unit was in the midst of covert operation into O'Kicki's personal affairs. The judge would be accused of soliciting bribes, frequenting brothels and running the county as if he were a "battleship commander.'? Later he'd concoct a plan to flee the country and exact revenge on his enemies. Set in the aftermath of the 1977 Johnstown flood and including courtroom testimony, the memos of whistleblowers, contemporary interviews and excerpts from O'Kicki's unfinished tell-all memoir, "Jailing the Johnstown Judge'? is a fresh examination of the extraordinary Western Pennsylvania case that attained international infamy., In 1988, Judge Joe O'Kicki was regarded by many of his peers as one of the most brilliant legal minds in the country. Newly remarried and sworn in as the president judge of Cambria County, he had ambitions for a seat on a federal bench. But a state police vice unit was in the midst of a covert investigation into O'Kicki's personal affairs. He was accused of soliciting bribes, protecting illegal gambling interests and running the country as if it was his personal fiefdom. When he was found guilty on corruption charges and set to serve jail time, he fled to central Europe, becoming an international fugitive. Using courtroom testimony, contemporary interviews and excerpts from O'Kicki's unfinished memoir, author Bruce Siwy freshly examines the extraordinary case that captured headlines across the state and nation.
