"Joyce found guilty; sentencing set for March"

"Joyce found guilty; sentencing set for March": The Erie (Pa.) Times-News provides an update that begins, "Former state Superior Court Judge Michael T. Joyce will be sentenced March 10 in Erie for his conviction today on all the mail-fraud and money-laundering charges against him. Senior U.S. District Judge Maurice B. Cohill Jr. set the sentencing date after the verdict was announced in federal court in Pittsburgh about 4:05 p.m. Joyce was convicted of federal charges that he provided false information to get $440,000 from two insurance companies over injuries he said he suffered in a two-car crash in August 2001. He was also found guilty of charges of money laundering, based on the claims of the U.S. Attorney's Office that he spent the insurance proceeds on a house, motorcycle and other luxury items."

Paula Reed Ward of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has a news update headlined "Ex-judge guilty in fraud case."

And The Associated Press reports that "Ex-judge in Pa. guilty of fraud, money laundering."
