Moran Cuts Deal With U.S. Attorney

Moran Cuts Deal With U.S. Attorney - Tuesday, February 24, 2009 at 5:30PM EST

WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY- The I-Team has learned that the U. S. Attorney's office has filed information regarding Luzerne County Prothonatary Jill Moran. This comes one day after she announced that she would resign.
The U. S. Attorney's office filed the paperwork at federal court in Scranton around 10:30 this morning. It says that Moran has agreed to resign her position as Prothonatary and will cooperate with federal investigators. It says she came forward with information about corruption and fraud at the Luzerne County Courthouse.

The 12-page document details Moran's cooperation with investigators. According to the agreement with the U. S. Attorney's Office, Moran will not face criminal charges if she continues to cooperate with the investigation. Moran says she will work with investigators to prevent future fraud against the people of the United States.

This comes one day after Moran announced that she would step down as of March 13th. Her name has come up in media reports about the corruption investigation, since she is the law partner of Attorney Bob Powell of Butler Township.

Powell has been mentioned as part of a “kids for cash” scheme involving Judges Mark Ciavarella and Micheal Conahan. Powell says he was being extorted by the judges and did nothing wrong.
