The trial of Jane Orie will have consequences across Pennsylvania. An acquittal means that Judge Joan Orie Melvin would not be indicted. However, a conviction would obstruct future gambling investigations by the Ories and could send to prison a senator, a Supreme Court judge and a third Orie daughter. The landslide reelection of Senator Orie means that the public sees greater danger to our system in jailing political opponents like a Russian Validmar Putin than in nickel-dime campaign irregularities.
