Another house arrest for an admitted criminal. I hate to bash a judge because you never know when you might end up in front of one but this sentence is ridiculous.
CV: U.S. District Judge James M. Munley ordered Pizzella to serve two years of probation, including five months on house arrest, after a federal prosecutor detailed Pizzella's cooperation in at least seven different investigations. Pizzella must also pay a $10,000 fine.
Pizzella has been singing to the FBI ratting out fellow Wilkes-Barre Area School Board members Brian Dunn and James Height and has provided information about the carpet guy plus the overcharging by Intellecom. The TL story says he was feeding the FBI information about Luzerne County Judges when he was Ann Lokuta's tipstaff.
His attorney conceded Pizzella “can in some respects annoy people” by being brusque. That is an understatement. Judge Munley cited Pizzella's cooperation and "spotless reputation" in deciding not to send him to jail.
Spotless reputation? Are we talking about the same person?
Pizzella, a former Plains Township police officer and township commissioner, has been accused of spousal abuse, punching his father and threatening to kill his daughter. In 1980, police accused Pizzella and a friend of hiring a hitman to break the legs of a political rival.
Pizzella also claims he is in poor health. It seems to be a problem with all the people who have snared in probe here in Corruption Junction. Judge Toole also claims he has a bad back, it must be contageous.
Judge Munley said: “We condemn the conduct. What he was engaged in is outrageous. It’s a throwback” to days when public officials routinely behaved that way, “and it will not be tolerated any more.”

If you don't put people in jail what is the deterrent Judge Munley?
On background I have been told that Frankie Kneecaps will not be allowed to watch Nickelodeon or The Disney Channel while he spends the next 5 months sitting on his duff. As an additional punishment he won't get a graham cracker after recess or a chocolate milk.

Gort...come now...maybe he ALSO has to write an essay on about why he was a bad, bad boy.
This shows you when you elect liberals, you get liberal judges. Maybe the local democrats should have a parade for frankie on South Main Street
the writing is on the wall...the fix is definately in. this is why the judges and all the creeps snared in the corruption probe are holding out. they all are waiting for two things...one of which just occurred - the Supreme Court ruling that the Feds can't use the statute most were charged with. more importantly is the second reason they all keep postponing their sentencings...they were all waiting for the new US Attorney to be appointed. you know, the one that grew up in wilkes-barre....is friends with all the current Judges...worked for Spector and a long time friend of the Casey family. do you smell something rotten here? funny how we waited almost a year for an appointment of a US Attorney, but that didn't come until Mellows house and office was hit by the feds. i will bank my house on it, these guys that were charged and keep continuing their cases (Ciavarella, Toole, Skep...etc,)to this point will get a slap on the wrist and those that are currently under investigation (Musto and Mellow) we will never come to light...you will never hear another word about them.
