Despite receiving four complaints since 2004 against former Luzerne County Judge Michael T. Conahan, who is facing federal racketeering charges, the Pennsylvania Judicial Conduct Board never investigated any of them, it has admitted in writing.
In Brady v. Maryland and Giglio v. United States, the U.S. Supreme Court established the rule that defendants in criminal trials have a due process right to receive favorable information from prosecutors regarding the defendants' conduct that would aid in the defense of the charges.
The Supreme Court has declined to review the decision of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Teruya Brothers Ltd. & Subsidiaries, which held that a taxpayer could not employ a qualified intermediary to avoid the like-kind-exchange related-party rules contained in Section 1031(f) of the Internal Revenue Code.
