HARRISBURG, May 20, 2008 — Please find below a statement issued today by Chief Justice of Pennsylvania Ronald D. Castille regarding a lawsuit filed by the League of Women Voters: “This court filing is ludicrous in every respect. It is filled with rumors, innuendo, hearsay and rank speculation. It relies on nameless, faceless individuals who make false allegations behind a screen of anonymity, but apparently lack the courage to come forth and speak publicly. “What is far more serious is that this lawsuit slanders the entire Supreme Court of Pennsylvania with baseless and irresponsible charges, and also slanders a respected former Chief Justice of this court. Having done so, the filing parties may have subjected themselves to sanctions, and the attorney may have subjected himself to disciplinary action.”
