A San Antonio lawyer pleaded guilty Monday to bribing a state district judge, admitting that he gave the jurist cash, paid for repairs on his personal vehicles and even selling one of his Mercedes for him, all in exchange for favorable rulings on cases.

[...]Acevedo's plea deal said he gave cash, services or other things of value totaling more than $6,655 to McGinty, who resigned Feb. 14 amid the investigation.

“The things of value included cash, car repairs, the sale of a vehicle belonging to Judge McGinty, the registration of a vehicle purchased by Judge McGinty, fuel, and a car wash,” Acevedo's plea deal states. “In exchange for these bribes, Judge McGinty provided favorable judicial rulings which benefited me and my clients. Judge McGinty provided these favorable judicial rulings as requested, and as opportunities arose. These favorable rulings included leniency at sentencing and less restrictive conditions of release."
