Mass murderer George Banks landed himself on death row in state prison by ignoring the advice of his defense team and taking the witness stand at his capital murder trial,
Attorney Al Flora Jr. stood outside a federal courthouse in Scranton 10 years ago and declared victory on behalf of former Luzerne County Judge Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. after a jury acquitted him of 27 of 39 charges.
The veteran lawyer insisted the jury validated the defenseâs claims the case was never about âcash for kids.â
But, a decade later, Flora concedes the kids-for-cash label damaged Ciavarella in the court of public opinion and proved to be a major obstacle to overcome at trial.
Truly, he said the defense knew anything but a total acquittal would be a major blow to Ciavarella and assure a lengthy federal prison sentence for the former judge. Flora said his victory declaration â despite Ciavarellaâs conviction on 12 charges, including racketeering â was done mainly to appease the former judge, who adamantly wanted to take his case to trial to fight the kids-for-cash theory, which he vehemently denies to this day.
