Supreme Court Stops Election to Fill Lokuta's Seat
Supreme Court Stops Election to Fill Lokuta's Seat - Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 6:05PM EST
WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY- The state Supreme Court has halted an election to fill the Luzerne County judicial seat of Ann Lokuta.
She was removed from the bench last year and filed a document earlier this month to block the election.
The Supreme Court also ordered the Court of Judicial Discipline to consider whether it should reopen Lokuta's case. That's because three of the witnesses against her pleaded guilty in an ongoing federal corruption probe at the Luzerne County Courthouse. | | |
