You mentioned the President Judge - Sheila Woods-Skipper.<br /><br /> I had occasion to write to her when she was first appointed President Judge. I asked her to intercede in getting Judge Ceisler to provide the case record needed for the Shero / Engelhardt appeal. In the letter, I attached a file showing the status of each of Ceisler's cases, and it appeared that Ceisler was churning out more recent cases while letting the Shero / Engelhardt results hang in limbo. <br /><br /> I also mentioned how Sarmina was 'compelled' (i.e....legally bludgeoned) by the Superior Court to provide Monsignor's Lynns' case file - not once, but twice, no less. Close to a six month delay.<br /><br /> Judge Woods-Skipper sent me a nice reply letter in the US mail, thanked me for bringing this to her attention, copying Sarmina and Ceisler and the attorneys of record. One week later, Ceisler provided the overdue material.<br /><br /> Was this the result of my letter? I'd like to believe it was, but I doubt it. Ceisler (or more likely - her paralegal staffers) may have been concurrently working on her 'opinion'. Dunno. But, at least the President Judge was made aware of this inexplicable delay.<br /><br /> Lynn's lawyers (and others following this blog) may want to appeal to the President Judge, as well. <br /><br /> Considering the fact that the Philadelphia Criminal Court System has now been effectively stalled, many other cases will have to be rescheduled - the domino effect.<br /><br /> So, what would be that harm in slotting the Lynn case up front which was where it was until Bright stopped the clock by asking for super-secret briefs.<br /><br /> No matter how you slice it, Justice Delayed is.....Justice Denied.<br />Joe Burchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-880477948742177912020-03-17T12:39:51.780-04:002020-03-17T12:39:51.780-04:00Which means the Presidrnt Judge is totally impoten...Which means the Presidrnt Judge is totally impotent in handling discipline to a judge like Bright be who has pervented the rules governing judicial conduct.

Its not their job to take the prosecutions case and assure the readers that they swear this evidence is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Because that is what readers believe, they believe they are reading the truth. <br /><br />To think that none of the Inky reporters are able to tell the public what really transpires in a courtroom either they do not care or are prevented from doing so. This leads to their colleagues believe lies as well and taking those lies and creating more lies.<br /><br />It really is a conspiracy to condemn a defendant because the Inky believes defendants are guilty.How did they set themselves up to be the judge and the jury. I want the facts not the Inkys facts, the true facts as they unfold, I want victims to have a voice, not to be shut out by reporters who are working for the prosecution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-27246577439712184502020-03-17T11:03:05.923-04:002020-03-17T11:03:05.923-04:00Why is everything secret?

Since this case was tried way back in 2012, and a companion sex abuse trial in 2013, I am the only reporter that I know of who has written anything about this travesty of a case.<br /><br />The Philadelphia Inquirer, and most local media outlets, have completely ignored this case. Which is why the judge has gotten away with her nonsensical gag order, and requirement that all motions be filed under seal.<br /><br />In the past four years, I have written about this case on this blog as a volunteer activity. If there is some First Amendment lawyer out there who would like to undertake a pro bono activity to take away the totally unnecessary secrecy in this case, they would be more than welcome. And I would do anything I could to assist them.bigtrial.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188557653424544411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-17663618274496414912020-03-17T03:18:28.377-04:002020-03-17T03:18:28.377-04:00You can be sure of one thing; Lynn isn't takin...You can be sure of one thing; Lynn isn't taking any deals. bigtrial.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188557653424544411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-4463820414823945572020-03-16T23:07:06.527-04:002020-03-16T23:07:06.527-04:00Nobody wants Bright for any high office on the leg...Nobody wants Bright for any high office on the legal system.
