Indicted Orie sisters consulted 'clairaudient' about their threat to DA Zappala.

The Trenchcoat Mafia Sisters - a sitting Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice and a sitting State Senator - consulting a clairaudient regarding their threat to strongarm Zappala into submission - this story just gets better each day!

<snip>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.

Several e-mails, which investigators believe were dated Nov. 20, discussed one of the sisters' consultation with the "angel lady" about what decision Mr. Zappala would make after his meeting with Mr. Kramm.

Prosecutors consider the "angel lady" angle significant because, if tied to the Nov. 19 meeting between Mr. Kramm and Mr. Zappala, it would buttress allegations that the women had dispatched Mr. Kramm on their behalf to threaten the district attorney out of pursuing charges.<snip>

1. Grounds for thousands of appeals against whatever this whacky judge touched

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!At the trial level, if it was a non-jury trial, she could have consulted the psycho, sorry, psychic about final verdict, sentencing, etc., Even in a non-jury trial, she would have made many rulings on issues raised as to discoverable evidence, admissible evidence, and many more questions which could have influenced the outcome of the trial.

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?
