LoL they got what they wanted now screw them in the ground
Let's hope a big trial will shed new light on the Luzerne County Courthouse. Let's hope the national media will cover it also.
pretty interesting when you go to the Luzerne County election office website, and look under campaign finance reports for Conahan.
interesting the hazleton names you see that have given to Judge Mike.
Has anyone noticed the quotations around the words "quid pro quo", in the indictment? Now what does loser Ciavarella have to say. EAT YOUR WORDS CREEP!
