Ross was not a rat
An observation I made this past week is why was Ross Scarantino sentenced so quickly?
After all, there have been a handful that were arrested before Ross.
So why now?
Then it hit me with the arrest of Bart Weidlich..
Scarantino is not a rat.
My thought is Ross stopped cooperating. Read More ...

With Skrep, we'll make national news again
When Wyoming Valley and Luzerne County make national news, it’s usually not for winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
As we all know too well, the last time we made national news, 20/20 pulled up their vans and featured “Kids for Cash.”

Get ready because clock will be ticking away for at least another three years.
This past week, the defendants in the infamous “Tri-Fecta” filed an appeal.
That is to be expected of course.
However, a $500,000 verdict could turn out to be $600,000 with interest. Plus attorney fees which I’m sure by the time they’ve exhausted the appeal process will be close to $400,000. Read More ...
