Parks Miller goes off in press conference ....
- Thread starter PSU_Chicago
- Start date
I don't know much about all the local petty politics being played behind the scenes but even if it wasn't going on SPM would still have every right to be pissed. Since the judge's signature was proven to be genuine, the former paralegal was obviously lying about seeing SPM forging it. How can she claim she saw something when two experts have testified it didn't happen? To have the confidence of the public, a public official can only rely on their own personal integrity. The circus surrounding the allegation was a direct attack on that integrity.
I'm not sure what that investigation will exactly prove. It's not illegal to text the judge during a trial. Some people claim it was happening while court was in session which is ridiculous since everyone would notice that. Besides, I doubt any serious judge would be checking text messages while on the bench. It's not at all uncommon for an attorney to confer with the judge while court is out of session in order to be sure procedures are followed to the judge's satisfaction. While this is usually done face to face, society nowadays seems to think texts are a good substitute for real conversations. The only people who know what the texts were about are SPM and the judge.
It seems some people in Centre County want SPM to be guilty of something no matter what it is. It doesn't even have to be true so long as people THINK she is guilty. I saw an interview on a local channel with one of the Centre County commissioners after it was announced the judge's signature was genuine. He said in effect that even though SPM was cleared of any wrongdoing regarding the signature she still must be doing something wrong somewhere. WTF?? I'm glad I don't live in Centre County where apparently it's OK to reach a conclusion without facts. Gee, when has that happened before? November 2011 anyone?
I almost wonder if this not some kind of a backlash due to her early in involvement with the email tip about mike. Probably a bit of tin foil there but worth a thought.
I have learned a lot in the last three and a half years... One huge thing... Don't underestimate anyone's ability to do mean hurtful evil things to people in an attempt to gain an edge or to be vindictive.

I don't know if anyone has a real good read on ALL of the staff that has been going on in the County (politically and judicially). I know I sure don't. And, good Lord, when you start to look at the statewide picture it only gets increasingly worse.
Clearly, the Centre County judiciary is running as SNAFU as one could imagine....and the Statewide picture as well.
It should be absolutely TERRIFYING to all of us. Knowing how impactful the actions of the Judiciary are......and knowing how absolutely FUBAR the structure is.......good lord, it makes you wonder if the crazy bastards who set up the outposts in Montana (or wherever they set up) aren't the "sanest" folks out there.
It does seem that both sides are all in on this drama. At this point, neither is interested in give and take. As a result, the county they serve suffers.
On a different note, the County Commissioners should at least discuss the future of Glantz' employment as the Centre County solicitor. I am not casting aspersions on his character, just questioning his judgement. A review might show that he gave poor advice in the alleged forgery case.
Youd think the county would have had a hand writing expert confirm/deny the story of the court aide before pressing further but i guess they didn't? It seems like the experts saying the sig was real completely took them by surprise.
Also what has the judge said the whole time? Did she say she couldn't remember if she signed it or she she explicitly deny signing it? I could have sworn one of the investigation reports stated the judge claimed she never signed it.
Either way CC needs to clean house on both sides IMO. No way the citizens there can still have trust in their Justice system. Smh.

I think your points - for the most part - are probably very valid.
I'm just not sure, though, that trying to "work more with the local legal community" is the right answer......given the nature of the beast.
Who knows, but I think it's fair to think that county residents will benefit more from a system with less infighting and strife.
That's coming from both sides, so it's not all on SPM.
If there's nothing improper in that text message traffic why are the judges and SPM hysterical about the release of that metadata?
Now she knows how JVP and his family feel via the FALSE ALLEGATIONS made about JVP with zero due process in his case with the perpetrators of False Narrative being members of PA Government on the PSU BOT using her good buddy Sara Ganim as a MOUTHPIECE and SPIN MACHINE to "paint the record" via illegal SWIGJ leaks to Ganim (at least she received due process via the SWIGJ).
