Judge John M. Murphy, accused of accepting $3,000 in bribes to fix cases, has been charged with mail fraud, extortion and conspiracy to participate in racketeering activities in a scheme involving lawyers, a police officer and an unidentified judge
Judge Murphy, 68 years old, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment. He was suspended with pay last December by the circuit’s chief judge, Harry Comerford, when the first round of Greylord indictments was announced.
Additional charges were filed against Judge Murphy in a second set of indictments in March.
Seventeen people, including four former or incumbent judges, have been indicted in the investigation.
