A little more of conflicts of interest in the Mokay case


It was pointed out to me by an observer that the court clerk in the court that tried the Mokay case has as Facebook friends:

(1) a subpoenaed hostile witness;
(2) the secretary of a previously recused judge.

Specifically, Kelly R. Sanfilippo lists among her Facebook friends:

Gregory Kottmeier whom I subpoenaed as a hostile witness for the case



and

Stacy Johansen, secretary to Judge John F. Lambert who previously recused from this case.





I truly believe these friendships of the clerk of the court were supposed to be disclosed before trial as evidence requiring disqualification of the court and transfer of the case to another venue, but they were not.  

So, on top of the fact that the trial was happily conducted, without a jury (despite a paid for - three times - jury demand), in my absence due to illness despite a doctor-issued medical leave, and, as far as I understand, conducted by Judge Dowd who, together with his law clerk and his secretary was a subpoenaed witness in the case, the entire Supreme Court in Delaware County was compromised by Facebook friendships of its Chief Clerk.

Looks crooked to me...
