Corruption in Luzerne County’s Judicial System

Our guests are MARSHA LEVICK, Deputy Director and Chief Counsel of the Juvenile Law Center and LAURENE TRANSUE, whose daughter was sent to a Wilderness camp in 2007 after appearing before Judge Ciavarella for mocking an assistant principal on a MySpace page.
