Former 144th District Judge Angus McGinty of San Antonio pleaded guilty April 13 to one count of honest services wire fraud for taking car repairs from a lawyer in exchange for rulings favorable to the defense in criminal cases.
McGinty must return to court July 15 for sentencing. Under a plea agreement, he faces two years in prison followed by supervised release, according to a statement by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Mexico, which prosecuted the case after the local federal prosecutor’s office recused itself.
