Book
Jailing the Johnstown judge : Joe O'Kicki, the mob and corrupt justice / Bruce Siwy.
"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 soliticing bribes, protecting illegal gambling interests and running the county 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."-- from back cover
