I am contacting you because I am very concerned that The Luzerne County DA has not recused itself from The Bryan Kocis Murder investigation and trial.

While I am not an attorney, I believe that the US Attorney’s
Office and any lawyer admitted to the bar would agree that The
Luzerne County DA’s past involvement with the 2006
“correction” to murder victim Bryan Kocis’ 2002 guilty plea
necessitates that The Luzerne County DA recuse itself from the
Bryan Kocis Murder Trial.

Specifically, Bryan Kocis plead guilty to a child molestation
charge in Luzerne County in 2002. Kocis’ originally recorded
guilty plea required that Kocis register as a sex offender under
PA’s Megans Law. In 2006, Kocis’ 2002 guilty plea was
“corrected”� by Judge Michael Conahan, The Luzerne County DA
and Defense Attorney Al Flora, Jr. in such a way that Kocis was
then not required to register as a sex offender under PA Megans
Law. Conahan and the DA’s Office claimed in 2006 that Kocis’
originally recorded guilty plea was a clerical error.

As I understand PA Law, it is a third degree felony to
circumvent Megans Law.

The US Attorney’s Office can easily verify that The Luzerne
County DA was in fact a party to the 2006 “correction”� to
Bryan Kocis 2002 guilty Plea along with then President Judge
Michael Conahan.

An argument can be made that, prior to his death, Bryan Kocis
was in a position to testify against Michael Conahan in a
criminal probe into how Kocis’ 2002 guilty plea could have
been completely changed four years later in 2006.
