Panel to evaluate Pennsylvania Grand Jury System

[francofan]

Debra Erdley of Trib Live has a story on a panel put together by Chief Justice Thomas Saylor to evaluate Pennsylvania's Grand Jury System.

“It is good policy to periodically evaluate operations and make updates and improvements where warranted,” Saylor said.

The Grand Jury process in Pennsylvania has not only been abused in the Curley, Schultz, Spanier cases (Cynthia Baldwin's role, Judge Feudale's bias, Fina's misconduct) but also in the Sandusky case (leaked grand jury testimony to Sara Ganim, leaked grand jury presentment, false grand jury presentment, Judge Feudale's bias, prosecutorial misconduct - issue number 29 on pages 211-222 on the defense's recent PCRA filing).

I wouldn't be surprised if the panel's finding will be a whitewash, but I not so sure given that the panel includes Professor Wes Oliver of Dusquene Law School and Gary Schultz's attorney, Tom Farrell. Oliver is featured in Sandusky's PCRA and has said it is one of the strongest PCRA petitions that he has seen.

Does anybody think that there is any chance that an objective review can be held and that anything will come of the findings if it is objective?

Anything less than abolishment of these kangaroo courts is unacceptable. Most citizens don't understand how they work, or how they undermine a defendant receiving a fair trial.
I would also like to see a gag on DAs and defense attorneys speaking about cases outside courtrooms.
Just my opinion. Fine with me if you disagree.

Maybe or maybe not. I think Spanier has a good chance of winning his appeal. The Sandusky case may drag on for years.

I agree wholeheartedly with the sentence I bolded. We all recall the dog and pony show the OAG put on when they announced the charges resulting from the Sandusky grand jury. How can that be construed as anything other than an attempt to find everyone guilty long before they go to trial? That's not how it's supposed to work.

maybe....and I appreciate the good fight. but it is over for PSU. its never coming back. there is no way to erase the stain. I don't care if they acquit Spanier and give him a congressional medal of honor.

Unlike the cartoons, you can't put the genie back in the bottle

I believe that under British law, details about a criminal, his/her name, etc. are all kept out of the press until after a conviction.

Corbutt, Surma, Frazier and Peetz are heading up the evaluation team.

Gee, maybe they could review the rulings of corrupt County Courts that nullify rulings of a Higher Courts, especially when the County Court in question (Dauphin County Court) was ILLEGALLY given jurisdiction under the applicable PA Code the charges were brought under, PA CPS Law - which clearly prescribes the County Court of the DPW County-Level CYS Office that filed the CSA Complaint and request for Law Enforcement Prosecution - and the IMPROPER JURISDICTION was created VIA ABUSE OF THE PA GRAND JURY LAW!

Boccabella via acting-Judge in a Dauphin County Court, which was ILLEGALLY GIVEN JURISDICTION of a DPW-Initiated Case under the PA CPSL Code via the corruption and abuse of the "PA Grand Jury Law", on Feb 1, 2017 reinstated Felony Charges at the request of the corrupt PA OAG, which has repeatedly engaged in PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT according to the Higher Court (the PA Superior Court) via ABUSE and CORRUPTION of the PA Grand Jury Law and System, that the Higher Court, the PA Superior Court, THREW OUT in Jan 2016!!!

Not only that, but Boccabella then INEXPLICABLLY and corruptly "Denied" The Defendants' LEGITIMATE timely Appeal to the PA Superior Court (made Feb 15, 2017) on March 1, 2017 without any explanation or opinion supporting the action whatsoever - his ruling was simply labeled "Denied" despite the fact his Feb 1, 2017 Ruling was acting to nullify the PA Superior Court's Jan 2016 Ruling, which can only be interpretted as an act of utter "Contempt of Court" in regards to the Higher Court's Ruling, especially when you consider that the OAG never even appealed the Higher Courts Ruling! The result of Boccabella's corrupt actions, which supported the OAG's continued abuse and corruption of the PA Grand Jury Law (again, Dauphin County Court had no LEGAL JURISDICTION to the "V1 Aaron Fisher DPW-Initiated Case" under the PA Law it was INITIATED UNDER - PA Child Protective Services Law - proper "Jurisdiction" was beyond question Clinton County Court under CPS Law regardless of the involvement of a Grand Jury, or not!) resulted in the OAG illegally threatening Curley & Schultz with a Felony Charge via clear further Prosecutorial Misconduct that carried up to 7 years imprisonment as FRAUDULENT LEVERAGE to force Curley and Schultz into accepting their corrupt "Plea Bargain Offer" of March 12, 2017 for reduction to a "Misdemeanor" in exchange for testifying at Spanier's Trial - all of which is a clear violation and complete trampling of C/S&S's FUNDAMENTAL Constitutional Rights under both the PA and US Constitutions and amounts to clear and unambiguous "tyranny" and "Malicious Prosecution".

Lip service. Have fallen for it before. Never will again.

Any serious findings and or recommendations will be protected in the same vault as the porngate emails. Another example of the corrupt "investigating" and reporting on themselves. LOL

It is utterly unbelievable that the PA Superior Court has taken no action against the bull$hit that the corrupt Boccabella-run "Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas" and PA OAG just pulled on Feb 1, 2017 and Mar 1, 2017 in effectively NULLIFYING the HIGHER COURT's UNAPPEALED RULING from a year earlier on Jan 2016 via clear and massive Prosecutorial and Judicial Misconduct, CORRUPTION AND ABUSE nearly identical to the Prosecutorial and Judicial Misconduct, CORRUPTION AND ABUSE CITED in the HIGHER COURT's RULING of Jan 2016!!!

How on earth does the HIGHER COURT just sit idly by and watch as the clearly corrupt and abusive OAG and their equally corrupt Judicial Lackeys make a mockery of the PA Judicial System and the PA Superior Court's Ruling??? Behavior by the PA OAG and its puppet, lackey, corrupt Lower Court that simply tramples FUNDAMENTAL AND SACRED Citizens Rights enumerated in both the PA and US Constitutions via abject immoral corruption, abuse of public office & authorities and tyranny!?!? Unphucking real and only possible in the rot-infested, cesspool of PA's lawer-turned-politicians-&-"supposed public servants" Government and Justice System!!!

 

[PSU_is_Alumni_Students_NotBOT]

None of the esteemed indignant lawyers who regularly frequent this board defending rampant lawyer-led political corruption has bothered to explain why all this lawyer-led corruption and bastardization of our Law Enforcement, Judiciary and fundamental political system of government resulting in abject tyranny born of IMMORAL abuse of public positions & authorities by lawyers (and defilement of our Constitution) is necessary or good for our Country - go figure.

Before the GJ System is reviewed, I think the Courts, AG and the legislature should take baby steps first to review possible errors exposed during the JS trials in order to restore some minimal faith in the judiciary. Perhaps start from the beginning..........of LAW SCHOOL.
Class day 1........ Let's start with a biggy................Ex-Post FACTO!
Class day 2........Statute of Limitations...................1, 2, 3.............. 10!
Class day 3........Hi Cindy................who do you represent? I represent Penn State, solely! Feudale: no comment. Fina, Fina...........Fina? That little diddy threw Judge Hoover for a loop for over a year before punting. Perhaps after those issues are cleared up, the GJ problems will become..........clearer.
