Juvie justice hearing to resume here

PLAINS TWP. – The panel investigating the juvenile justice scandal and how to prevent it from happening in the future is bringing its show to the county at the center of the controversy.

The Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice will kick off its two-day public hearing at the Best Western East Mountain Inn in Plains Township on Monday.

Among those scheduled to testify at the first day of the public proceeding are: Sandra Brulo, a former Luzerne County Juvenile Probation official who pleaded guilty to altering a juvenile’s record; Senior Berks County Judge Arthur Grim, the special master who issued the report that led the state Supreme Court last month to vacate the convictions of all juveniles who appeared before Luzerne County Judge Mark A. Ciavarella from 2003 to 2008, and Joseph Massa, chief counsel for the Pennsylvania Judicial Conduct Board, which investigates allegations of impropriety against judges.
