I felt the necessity to clear up some misinformation that was not too long ago printed. Former Congressman and Republican District Lawyer candidate Tom Marino acknowledged that he needed to begin a Psychological Well being Courtroom in Lycoming County; nonetheless, one already exists. Former Decide Grey headed the Psychological Well being Courtroom and upon Grey’s retirement, former Decide Lovecchio would take over the Psychological Well being Courtroom, however determined it was not in his finest pursuits or for the Psychological Well being Courts.
Because the presiding choose, Justice Butts knew it was necessary that this drug court docket proceed, so she added it to her already full court docket schedule. I used to be lucky to work as a clerk to Decide Butts in Lycoming County, she isn’t solely the Presiding Decide and Prison Decide, but in addition operates all 4 of Lycoming County’s Drug Courts which encompass Drug Courts, DUI , veterans and psychological well being. To ensure that these courts to achieve success, she works intently with the District Lawyer, the probation officers particular to every Drug Courtroom, and the companies which can be particular to the wants of every Drug Courtroom. So, you see, the Psychological Well being Courtroom is already up and working in Lycoming County, however like most issues in life, there can at all times be enhancements.
