Letter to the editor | State has no case against PSU
- Thread starter B_Levinson
- Start date
No letter could be more succinctly impactful than this one. A fair judge could dismiss the case in 30 seconds with these words in the hands of a defense lawyer.
Agree, '67. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of fair judges in this commonwealth.
Wrong thread, Evan. But not the first time you've been lost.

The last guy to post a comment I don't even know where to start... Some people are so misinformed on facts I agree with others you will never be able to change some mindsets
I think the decision point is what C & S heard from MM and what they relayed to TSM. Then there is the purgery charge. And in the scooter Libby situation, we learned when there is a highly charged emotional issue, there doesn't have to be a crime committed in order to be convicted of perjury. By that I mean that he didn't lie about a crime but lied nonetheless.
Sort of on the topic. This was in the Philadelphia Inquirer today.
"evidence of a massive scheme that violates state and possibly federal laws, and the bench and the bar have ignored it."
ISSUE | PORN EMAILS
Special counsel needed to investigate
Forget Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane and the allegations of her leaks. The real scandal of the porn emails allegedly exchanged by judges, prosecutors, and other officials is that they are evidence of a massive scheme that violates state and possibly federal laws, and the bench and the bar have ignored it. Using state computers to send personal emails is a violation of state law, which has been enforced successfully against many officials.
Sending ex parte emails to judges is a violation of the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct for prosecutors; willingly receiving ex parte communications is a violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct.
The victims of this scheme are the voters who put the judges and district attorneys in office and expect them to abide by the law. The other victims are the parties to cases in which those prosecutors appear before those judges. The opposing parties are entitled to a conflict-free judge.
Money has been wasted in the form of the time prosecutors and judges spent emailing the messages while being paid government salaries.
This is not an accident or a one-time affair. This is a scheme that has lasted several years and has many participants. The mere appearance of impropriety is enough to require action.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania must get to the bottom of this. Appoint a special counsel who is a former prosecutor, and find out just how far this scheme extends before it becomes a national scandal.
