Magisterial District Judge Martin Goch on Tuesday announced that he had decided to recuse himself from hearing the matter involving Paul Linkmeyer because of connections that he and his wife have with one of the alleged victims in the case, township Supervisor Shaun Walsh.
One of the region’s largest and most successful personal injury law firms has joined the lawsuit filed earlier this year by the widow of the former director of Public Works in West Goshen that contends accusations made against him and others over a work-time policy by the township manager led him to take his own life.
“I am very glad he was caught through excellent work by our West Goshen Police Department,” Walsh said. “Mr. Linkmeyer has made no attempt to apologize to Mr. Wolman or myself.
Republican committeeman and West Goshen auditor Paul J. Linkmeyer was charged with criminal mischief for defacing lawn signs of Democratic candidates running for township supervisor with the word "murderer" or "murder" in reference to the suicide of John Woodward.
