After initially getting caught flat-footed, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has generally made all the right moves as it attempts to deal with the fallout emanating from the judicial wasteland known as Luzerne County.
The court appointed Berks County Senior Judge Arthur Grim to review the juvenile cases, and he quickly turned around a report.

His reputation, his speed in reviewing the matters and the humanity he demonstrated on ABC’s “20/20″have helped restore some credibility to the courts.
