There has been a development in a lawsuit related to the corruption scandal in Luzerne County.
The state supreme court overturned a defamation lawsuit against a Wilkes-Barre newspaper. The court said former Luzerne County judge Mark Ciavarella acted unfairly in the case.
Thomas Joseph sued the Citizens' Voice because of stories that linked him to a federal investigation.
Ciavarella granted Joseph $3.5 million in the lawsuit but Wednesday the state supreme court overturned that award and ordered a new trial.
