*"Recent Entries made in the Court Filing Offices may not be
immediately reflected on these Docket Sheets..."

Historically, Most PA Charges Like These Are Closed-Out in Lower, Magisterial District Court,
then Advanced, with a New Docket Number, to Upper Courts of Common Pleas.

{ When-issued Upper Court Docket NumberS should resemble: CP-09-CR-0000____-2015 }


May Prompt Justice Be Served.

This is going to be an interesting case to watch. It is quickly garnering national attention due to the story playing out like a Hollywood movie. I'm really curious to see how it all progresses. As I said in the above article, I believe that this investigation has legs to go elsewhere.

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/2...sed_Bucks_fundraiser_kills_self__sources.html

The sources, who confirmed the information but said they were not authorized to publicly discuss it, identified the victim as Thomas French, 64, a retired Bucks County sheriff's deputy and husband of fund-raiser Claire Risoldi...

One source close to the situation said French left two suicide notes, asserting his innocence but describing himself as overwhelmed by the fallout from the charges...

Risoldi, 67, is renowned in Bucks County political circles for the lavish fund-raisers she threw at her estate, dubbed Clairemont. She and French were married at a 2013 fund-raiser there. Last month, prosecutors accused the couple and other relatives of conspiring to inflate losses after three fires occurred at the mansion within five years, allowing the family to recoup millions in insurance payouts.

http://www.mcall.com/news/nationwor...imidate-jewelry-appraiser-20151010-story.html

Claire Risoldi, the matriarch of a wealthy, politically connected Bucks County family who's awaiting trial in an alleged $20 million insurance fraud, faces new charges that say she attempted to persuade a jewelry appraiser to lie.

The Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office on Friday filed charges accusing Risoldi, 68, of Buckingham, and family private investigator Mark Goldman, 55, of Wayne, of unsuccessfully trying to get the appraiser involved in a scheme to pass off altered documents for insurance purposes. The allegations say the two visited the appraiser earlier this year before fraud charges were filed against Risoldi, three members of her immediate family and Goldman stemming from three fires at the family's Buckingham estate, Clairemont.

Claire's trial is now scheduled for February 8, per court records.
