Attorneys blast prosecutors' request to forgo hearing in Scranton school district case

Charges filed against three current and former Scranton School District officials accused of endangering children and the public are based on a flawed investigation that is wholly unsupported by evidence, attorneys for the defendants said in court papers.
In a sharply worded legal brief, attorneys Frank Nocito and Brian McMonagle contend the state attorney general’s office’s filing of charges against their client, Alexis Kirijan, Ed.D., and her co-defendants, Jeff Brazil and Joseph Slack, is a “miscarriage of justice.”
Facing the reality it has no case, the office now seeks to forgo a preliminary hearing because prosecutors fear the charges will be dismissed outright, the attorneys said.
