I felt the need to have to clear up some misinformation that has been printed lately. Former Congressman and Republican candidate for District Lawyer Tom Marino has stated he desires to establish a Mental Well being Court in Licoming County even so, one particular currently exists. Former Judge Gray ran the Mental Well being Court and upon his retirement former Judge Lovecchio was supposed to take more than the Mental Well being Court but decided it was not in his ideal interest to do so nor the Mental Well being Court.
As presiding judge, Judge Butts knew it was critical to preserve this healing court going so she added it to her currently complete trial schedule. I have been fortunate adequate to serve as Associate Judge Butts in Licoming County, she is not only the presiding judge and criminal judge, but also manages all 4 therapy courts in Licoming County consisting of Drug Court, DUI Court, Veterans Court and Mental Well being Court. To make these courts productive, she functions closely with the district lawyer, probation officers certain to every therapy court, and agencies certain to the demands of every therapy court. So you see, the Mental Well being Court is currently up and operating in Licoming County, but like most issues in life, there is often area for improvement.
