Comments on: "Judge Thomas Dempsey, R.I.P." (1)
I was hospitalized the last couple days, and on trial in a double homicide case the week of 6/11/2012. Therefore, seeing the news of Judge Dempsey’s passing today was disturbing. What a wonderfully pleasant, prudent and fair jurist we had in Judge Dempsey for so very many years, and what a loss to the First judicial District of Pennsylvania! R.I.P. Judge Dempsey! Peace, Derrick W. Coker.
