Prosecutors Call Lokuta Appeal Meritless
Prosecutors Call Lokuta Appeal Meritless - Monday, April 27, 2009 at 5:23PM EST
HARRISBURG, DAUPHIN COUNTY- The Judicial Conduct Review Board on Monday filed written responses to a lengthy document presented by Luzerne County ex-Judge Ann Lokuta. Lokuta is asking the Pa. Supreme Court to grant her a new trial based on evidence discovered after more than weeks' worth of testimony that led to her removal from the bench. The Judicial Conduct Review Board maintains allegations that her trial was corrupted by two witnesses who are now caught up in a courthouse judicial scandal "are meritless." The board is asking the Court of Judicial Discipline to strike particular claims by Lokuta dealing with the ongoing Luzerne County scandal. | |
