The state Supreme Court has denied former Luzerne County judge Ann Lokuta's request for a reargument in her bid for reinstatement to the county bench.Lokuta was removed from the bench more than two years ago following a trial before the state Court of Judicial Discipline. The court found she had mistreated court employees and attorneys, repeatedly showed up late for hearings and failed to recuse herself from a case involving a family that supported her politically.
The Supreme Court rejected Lokuta's bid to overturn the discipline court's verdict earlier this year. Her attorneys say she plans an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The fix is in. I wonder if Lokuta is getting an education about the injustice of the justice system, or if she is learning more each day.

ReplyDeleteWithout knowing the truth, and normally applauding an appropriate "debenching," I do believe there's still some things we don't know and may never know.

She's not gonna win this; they've already stacked the deck against her.
ReplyDeleteThelma, Lokuta says she was targeted by then judge Michael Conahan of Kids for Cash fame. I believe that.
