JUDGES PLEAD GUILTY IN SCHEME AND ARE THEN SUED
We concede that the little nickel dime stuff that former Dorchester County Sheriff Nash strong-armed from detainees appears mild in comparison to the scheme reported in Judges Plead Guilty in Scheme to Jail Youths for Profit. Still, in our opinion, Mr. Nash should both provide a full accounting and return the money. It is an issue of quantity not quality. Whether a theft or a wrong is accomplished by brute force rahter than by deception makes it no less a theft or a wrong. More important, perhaps, Sheriff Nash should want to avoid lawsuits like the ones referenced in Suit Names 2 Judges Accused in a Kickback Case.
