A state panel charged with investigating the kids-for-cash case spared no one in a scathing report issued Thursday, laying blame for the scandal on criminal judges, passive prosecutors, inattentive pubic defenders and Luzerne County's long history of "conflict and corruption."
Pa. State Panel: "Total Collapse" of the system during "Kids for Cash" judges scandal.
Our present DA Jackie Musto Carroll (below left) and our present juvenile judge David Lupas (below right) were both DA's during the many years of the "Kids for Cash" scandal. They were named by the state panel as "passive prosecutors"....."prosecutors who stood by and abdicated their responsibility"....."whose silence, distraction or timid acquiescence allegedly abetted the scheme" while they were DA's during the many years of the "Kids for Cash" scandal.
...THEN WHY IS JACKIE MUSTO CARROLL OUR DA RIGHT NOW, AND WHY IS DAVID LUPAS OUR JUVENILE JUDGE RIGHT NOW??? AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THAT IS INSANE???????
