CORRECTIONS

Last month, I reported on the cases of John Joseph Sweeney, who had two DUI cases filed against him in District Court 15-1-01; apparently, this is what happens when you rely exclusively on docket sheets without getting the full story. Sweeney was arrested for DUI, but there was only one DUI incident. Due to a paperwork snafu, Sweeney's case was listed twice and apparently had two separate docket numbers and OTN's (Official Tracking Numbers) - CR-0000212-07 and CR-0000216-07/OTN #K598517-3. As of today, the CR-0000212-07 docket sheet is unavailable. I apologize to Mr. Sweeney for the error on my part...


As far as the matter of Commonwealth vs. Tanya Renee Thompson (15-1-04, CR-0000262-07), it's apparent that when she was arraigned in front of Judge Knapp a few weeks ago, the fact that the victim was flown to Crozer-Chester Medical Center was not included in the Criminal Complaint that was filed with the court. Hence, given the information made available to the court and the bail agency, bail was set where it was. Her hearing is scheduled for Friday, so we'll wait and see what happens with her bail situation...


Having said that, I do plan on filing a report from Tuesday's Criminal Day in front of Judge Bruno, which you can be assured will be accurate...
