Well, well, well! This is yet another jaw-dropping development! The Orie family is more Catholic than the Pope, and now we learn they consult clairvoyants on legal matters. That is a big NO-NO to the Catholic church! I have absolutely zero doubt that this was not the first contact between the sisters and the "angel lady"/clairvoyant.
So how many cases has Judge/Justice Orie consulted the spirits about in the past? At this point, anyone who's ever lost a case heard by Judge Orie, or an appellate decision in which she was a member of the judicial panel, has got a helluva right to an appeal! Then we turn to the matter of whether the other sister - State Senator Orie consulted the spirits on how to cast any of her many votes over the years. You can't make this stuff up! It would be a terrific skit for Saturday Night Live!
On a more chilling note, will Justice Orie consult her "angel lady" on how to carve up Congressional Districts in the redistricting following the 2010 census?
"State Sen. Jane Clare Orie and her sister state Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin turned to a clairvoyant to foretell the outcome of their effort to head off a grand jury investigation that ultimately snared the senator. Five months later, the grand jury issued a 66-page presentment saying Ms. Orie and another sister, Janine Orie, an aide to Justice Melvin, assigned state employees to work on Justice Melvin's campaign.
On Wednesday, Common Pleas Judge Donna Jo McDaniel ordered Jane and Janine Orie held for trial after a 21/2-day preliminary hearing. The charges are conspiracy, theft of services and ethics violations.
The other-worldly interlude involving spirits occurred in November of last year. An account of the incident is tucked deep inside a collection of affidavits entered as evidence in the case against Ms. Orie.
The "angel lady," as she was referred to in several spots, was consulted for advice about the outcome of a meeting between Robert Kramm, described by prosecutors as a political consultant with the Laborers' District Council of Western Pennsylvania, and Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr., whose office continues to investigate the Orie sisters. According to sources close to the case, the sisters sought advice from Carolann Sano of Philadelphia, a self-described "clairaudient," who says she can channel messages from spirit guides -- she refers to them as angels. Ms. Sano says that when she receives a question from a client, she speaks it aloud and hears the answer whispered into her right ear."
