Torp Court District, or Torps tingslag, was a district of Medelpadia in Sweden. The provinces in Norrland were never divided into hundreds and instead the court district (tingslag) served as the basic division of rural areas.
Court archives are important sources for local historical research, for genealogists and for the study of court history.
The court case against them provides much information about the two men: their geographical origins, some data on their family situation, how their criminal careers got started, previously committed crimes, and the people with whom they were associated.
The appellate authority was a court consisting of the Bishop and the County Governor.
Torp, 68, of Eastpointe, was allowed to remain free on personal bond until he is ordered to report to a federal community corrections center.
Federal officials said Torp received basement waterproofing and landscaping services at his home from contractor William J. Hudson, owner of a construction company that was hired by the school district as manager of a $28 million construction project.
Torp -- who was named as a liaison to federal investigators when he was superintendent -- twice told the FBI that he had not received gifts from Hudson's company in separate interviews in 1999 and 2001, according to Engstrom.
