Neither the Lehigh County Court Administrator nor the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts can confirm the existence of an investigation because documents and evidence obtained are confidential. If the Board decides a full investigation is warranted, the judge is notified and is given an opportunity to respond to the charges.
In this case, Zanelli was notified last week of the existence of an investigation. No suspension has been sought at this juncture, so she can continue to hear cases.
I am unable to contact Zanelli because she blocked me years ago. She can request the Judicial Conduct Board to confirm the existence of a pending investigation.
If the investigation leads to a trial in the Court of Judicial Discipline, the trial itself will be a matter of public record. The judge is presumed innocent, and the Board must prove its case by clear and convincing evidence.
Whoever did her hair should be under investigation also.
ReplyDeleteDo an OPRA request of FHPD for her Dodson Street address
ReplyDelete802
DeleteIs that address still not her personal property?
DeleteThis is what happens when people listen to LV4All rather than making their own informed decisions.
ReplyDeleteLet’s see how the Harrington’s wiggle their way out of this one. I wouldn’t be surprised if Zanelli was still involved in that political disaster!
DeleteOh she’s frequently at their stupid meetings still - another violation by her. They were even dumb enough to post a picture of her daughter on Facebook at a meeting - no middle schooler goes to a LV4All meeting without their parent
DeleteShe had gotten her daughter involved, that was her way around her not being "actually" involved. She would have to be there because she is a minor. Have proof of that too.
DeleteGod she's beautiful
ReplyDeleteShe’ll claim she’s being picked on because she’s a Jew and a lesbian - in reality, she just sucks and is a disgrace to any profession. Girl, just get in the public assistance line already!!
ReplyDeleteI know Allentown is outside of your typical zone but you are the research guy. Curious since your topic today is with a judge. Given the article in today's edition of the MC about city council seeing the mayor and finance director and the policemen's suit from a few weeks ago, in what type of court do those suits appear? News articles omit this info.
ReplyDeleteYep. With all the controversy during the election you would have thought people were smarter. But, DEI.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she should go back to working for children and youth? I hear NorCo is hiring.
ReplyDeleteShe was fired from that twice wasn't she?
DeleteShe’s an abomination on and off the bench! She has absolutely no clue how to do her job, creates a hostile work environment, treats attorneys and defendants like they’re beneath her, has a problem with punctuality and makes Bernie Sanders look like a centrist.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't she bring her dog to work like it's a kindergarden and not a courtroom? Maybe someone with allergies complained. *Rightfully*
ReplyDeleteAmy is a goddess, as a proud gay man i have heard stories of her pegging her admirers with her gavel, if this can be done sign me up!
ReplyDeleteShe seems to think she’s VERY important - maybe we can trade her for all of the Gaza hostages???
ReplyDeleteBernie - her behavior was more than unethical, it was CRIMINAL!
ReplyDeleteExplain yourself.
DeleteCan’t wait to see her dirty duties unfold !
DeleteHer last name Zanelli is spelled with one "n"
ReplyDelete3:16, Thanks and corrected.
DeleteSo many knew this was coming! Finally she will be exposed! It’s going to be fun watching all her dirty dealings be uncovered!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear this news. I have practiced before many magisterial district judges and have never seen anyone as bad as her. The way she treated the people in her courtroom was appalling.
ReplyDeleteher courtroom and hope to see her held accountable.
You and so many others saying the same thing! She needs to go!
DeleteRumor is the new hellertown chief is on the Brady list and can’t testify in court….. more corruption
ReplyDeletethey should look into corruption between her and the Bethlehem police that share Lehigh district...
DeleteThen you haven't practiced in front of McClure
ReplyDeleteThe entire Lehigh Valley was warned about her years ago (thank you Bernie). She’s a narcissistic liar who was terminated by 2 children and youth agencies and had was very shady when a Lehigh County Commissioner. You go get someone elected in a position like she has without promising favors. Pop some popcorn get a chair and enjoy this movie, because it’s going to be a great show !!!
ReplyDeleteI personally witnessed her throw a pro se defendant, who was obviously in mental distress, out of a hearing and continued with the hearing in his absence. What an absolute disgrace she is!
ReplyDeleteAmy Zanelli is about as useful as Anne Frank’s drum set!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes she step down or play this out? When does the victim card come out? How many more people will have their rights violated? Find out next time of Dragon Ball Zanelli!
ReplyDeleteMost of the comments are written by Amy’s Ex in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely they are not!
DeleteLOL! Actually, no - EV-ER-Y-ONE hates her, not just her exes
DeleteAs one of her Xs I can assure you we all have very valid concerns. She's a malignant narcissist. She makes a habit of stalking and abusing her partners.
DeletePreach!!! Spill that tea!!!
DeleteBernie, get that RTK request out to FHPD for 802 Dodson responses…
DeleteWhy does her daughter go to Nitschmann when she lives in Fountain Hill?? Is it so her daughter can walk to her court after school so she doesn’t have to pay for childcare?
DeleteMaryEsther Merlo 2.0 here
ReplyDeleteRumor has it that world class loser, Amy Zanelli, has taken a leave of absence. She’ll likely claim she’s having a mental breakdown from being investigated - too bad it’s all self-inflicted, hunny!!!
ReplyDeleteBoom 💥 "Years ago, many were warned about this, yet countless people chose to slander her opponent and try to tarnish his name. Now, it’s ironic to see the tables turn. Despite being presented with factual information and public records, people still chose to ignore the truth and voted her in. It’s unfortunate that it took this long for the truth about her character to emerge, but as always, the truth has a way of coming to light.
ReplyDeleteWhen people dismiss the facts to support someone with a record like hers, it's a sad day for those she was supposed to represent. After reading actual public court documents on numerous issues, it’s baffling that anyone could deny these facts and still supported her. It only goes to show that they had their own agenda in backing a candidate with such a clear and troubling background in her previous government positions.
Those who backed her, claiming she was the voice of honesty—how honest do you think she is now? But then again, there are many who simply don’t care about truth and justice. This happens at all levels of government: if you don’t like someone, people will go to great lengths to try to tarnish and ruin the reputation of good people, while backing the dishonest ones.
And we wonder why our country is in the shape it is—allowing people into positions for which they are truly not qualified. I look forward to watching this all unfold—and I can’t wait to hear what those who backed her will have to say now and how they will try to twist the narrative” Karma at it’s best!
Amy, I hope you’re reading this and that you know how little you’re liked and respected. 😘
ReplyDeleteChappel Roan's "karma" plays in the background..
DeleteI think they're are a lot of people who have been affected by her actions.
As someone who has been there since the beginning, I am finally looking forward to the end of all of this and watching all of the truth come out. It's been beyond upsetting as those I care about, friends and family live in this district. She has made a mockery of the position and does NOT deserve to wear a robe, let alone make decisions on other peoples lives. The amount of unethical situations I have personally witnessed is horrific in her role. Her character and ill regard for anyone else, along with her lack of accountability in anything is disgusting.
ReplyDeleteSadly, none of this is surprising. If I recall correctly, on this site, documentation was posted, which in my mind at the time was discrediting for Amy Zanelli's candidacy. But, people hear what they want to hear...see what they want to see. Another reality is the other candidate did not have the backing of a recognized political machine. So, in the end they got (or didn't) what they paid for.
ReplyDeleteCome out Come out...Where's AMY ??? Sad but true the taxpayers are paying for a Senior Judge to cover for Zanelli while she is on supposedly "medical leave" We all know the reason why she's on leave. No matter how long, she will not be able to worm herself out of this one. Ethics violations and possible criminal prosecution coming !!!
ReplyDeleteI will make sure I am there the day she is told to leave. Its been a long time coming and to know that all of this ridiculous sh%^& I have had to endure for the last how many years wasn't just for nothing.
DeleteIt’s funny to me that all these comments are anonymous. None of you have any idea what kind of person she is. Judge Zanelli has an amazing heart,compassion,and is one of the smartest people I know. Its amuses me how many cowards hide who they are so they can troll the internet trying to cancel someone. It’s a joke and you all should be ashamed of your selves. Stop hiding your selves with anonymous post and grow a pair so when she’s found innocent (because she is) she can see who stabbed her in her back.
ReplyDeleteGood Day
Every narcissist has flying monkeys. Congrats on being one of them.
DeleteStill Anonymous i see. I’m a flying monkey cute great reference. I’d rather be a flying monkey than a cowardly lion!!!!!!! 😉🫶
DeleteI laugh at you John because I have worked with her for the last few years and when the loads of proof comes out and proof that’s been provided of her unethical behavior . So when it comes out and the evidence stands … I also don’t need people like you stalking me hence the anonymous but I’m sure you’d be able to put it together. She’s great at blowing smoke up peoples rears. Sorry you bought into it.
DeleteTotally agree. Hopefully the only bench that Zanelli will sit on will be inside her jail cell. From what I hear, she will never be a judge again. John will eat his words !!!
