ERIE, Pa. &amp;mdash; A retired Pennsylvania Superior Court judge will not forfeit his $82,000 annual pension for the insurance fraud that landed him in federal prison for 46 months.

That&amp;rsquo;s because the Pennsylvania State Employees&amp;rsquo; Retirement System has determined judge Michael Joyce&amp;rsquo;s $440,000 insurance fraud conviction wasn&amp;rsquo;t related to his public employment.
Federal prosecutors are still seeking to forfeit Joyce&amp;rsquo;s home because they say he used some of the money to pay for it.
