The Perfect Storm forming against The Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas is simply TOO PERFECT for it to have been a natural occurrence. What we are witnessing is a TEXT BOOK EXAMPLE of how to bring down a Political Regime. Instead of a DEAD HOOKER in some Politician’s bed, we have a Decapitated Flambeed Gay Bareback Porn Producer IN BED with The Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas.

ANY IDIOT should be able to see that Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes are not the Story, The Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas is The Story in The Bryan Kocis Murder Scandal. A JUDGE IN THE LUZERNE COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Judge Ann Lokuta, has claimed that there was an organized conspiracy to bring her down, that President Judges in the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas stepped into her cases FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON and, that there is a Federal Probe of The Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas presently underway.

NOW, in addition to the above mentioned scandals, and the never ending scandals of No Bid Contracts from The Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas to relatives and “associates” of a Judge of the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas, we have the scandal of an organized campaign to deny juveniles legal representation.

Matt Jones of DPW said department officials believe the high percentage of youths being placed in out-of-home treatment programs is at least partially tied to an assertion that a disproportionate number appear before Judge Mark Ciavarella without an attorney – the key issue in a court action filed last week by the Juvenile Law Center of Philadelphia.

Virtually ever month since Bryan Kocis‘s decapitated flambeed corpse turned up, there has been some scandal in the news associated with the STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES of The Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas.

Is it purely accidental that Bryan Kocis’ death is helping to put a gigantic spot light on The Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas at this particular time? Nothing in nature is THAT perfect.

Judge Mark Ciavarella, the judge now under fire for having a large number of youths before him without attorneys, IS IN FACT the judge who assigned Bryan Kocis’ Lawyers to Harlow Cuadra. Can you get more PERFECT STORM than that?

In 2006, 24.5 percent of youths who appeared before Ciavarella for hearings were sent to residential treatment programs, according to the commission’s annual report. The statewide average was 10.3 percent. In 2005, 21 percent of Luzerne County youths were placed, compared to 9.6 percent for the state. In 2004, 22 percent were placed, compared to 10.4 percent for the state.

Ciavarella could not be reached for comment Thursday. In prior interviews he has staunchly defended his philosophy on juvenile placements, saying he favors placement over other alternatives because it’s the only thing that will “get a child’s attention.” Timesleader

Here is an interesting addition to this latest little scandal. Ciavarella says that The State Child Welfare Agency has no jurisdiction to review his decisions on juvenile treatment because they didn’t review the specific records of each specific case. THIS BULLSHIT CLAIM is related to the standard for APPELLATE REVIEW. Appellate Review of a Judge’s actions are “generally” limited to questions of law because it is claimed that only the trial judge was in a position to determine the credibility of witnesses and the evidence. HOWEVER, in this case, the Juveniles DIDN’T HAVE LEGAL COUNSEL and THERE IS A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO LEGAL COUNSEL. So, this little bullshit claim by Ciavarella that his actions with respect to 500+ juveniles can’t be impeached because only he WAS THERE to review the record and the credibility of witnesses MIGHT make a good defense for Ciavarella at his RACKETEERING TRIAL. AND,

There will be a RICO against Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas when it is finally revealed WHO BENEFITED FINANCIALLY from President Judge Mark Ciavarella placing such a high number of children in out-of-home treatment facilities. Obvously, SOMEBODY was making a shit load of money as a result of Ciavarella’s Standard Operating Procedures. We already know that Judge Michael Conahan’s Brother-in-Law is a Shrink who was paid for “consulting services” he provided to the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas.

“We don’t look at this as a challenge to the judge so much as to support a change in the system and process,” he said. “Our program folks and legal advisers, on examining what’s going on in Luzerne County, felt there is a systematic deprivation of the constitutional right to counsel for the accused.”

“We feel the best way to ensure an accurate outcome is reached in the juvenile process is to ensure the prosecution and defense are properly equipped to put on a case. Having a defense lawyer is an integral part of that for the juvenile,” he said. Timesleader
