The opinion

PAPADAKOS, Justice,

concurring.

I concur in the result reached by the majority, namely, removal from judicial office, but write separately to express my view that the Respondent was neither charged with, nor convicted of, the common law crime of misbehavior in office. I believe this crime is still extant, not having been specifically abrogated by the legislature. See my concurring opinion in In re Joseph P. Braig, 527 Pa. 248 , 590 A.2d 284 (1991).

Unquestionably, the crimes for which Respondent was convicted warrant his removal from judicial office.
