Johnny Noneck, a street gang enforcer, was on trial for causing bodily harm and would likely face jail time for his crime. The trial had finished for the day and the judge, Mr. Justice Tri Eroffact, would give his decision the next morning. On his way home that evening, Justice Eroffact was approached by a person who identified himself as a friend of Noneck. The person offered the judge a substantial amount of money, in cash, if the judge agreed to find Noneck "not guilty" when delivering his decision the next morning. Justice Eroffact agreed and pocketed an envelope filled with $100 bills. The next day, Noneck was found "not guilty" by Justice Eroffact.
