Atlanta cheating scandal teachers go to cells in hand-cuffs: Eleven educators face up to 20 years in prison for inflating their students' test scores to get bonus money for their schools . . . and for themselves
*The 11 teachers, testing coordinators and other administrators were convicted Wednesday of racketeering after a five-year investigation
*Evidence of cheating was found in 44 schools across the Atlanta school system, with nearly 180 educators involved
*A racketeering charge could carry up to 20 years in prison and most of the defendants will be sentenced on April 8
*The cheating came to light after The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported in 2008 that some student's scores were statistically improbable
*Prosecutors said the educators were guaranteed bonuses by inflating scores, while improving the poor reputation of their school system
*Superintendent Beverly Hall , the alleged ringleader who received up to $500,000 in payouts , died of breast cancer as the scandal went to trial
*One principal would wear gloves to erase answers and write in new ones
