Whether in Pennsylvania or other places, I don't think certain snitches are always identified by name. Obviously for their own protection. In the indictments they are often simply referred to as "CI #1," CI #2," etc. Meaning confidential informant. The judge is able to know who they are specifically but it obviously wouldn't be safe to just release their names to the public.


well pa being a commonwealth state there is a law stating that every man has the right to face his accuser in court. ive only been on low level stuff (minor drug sales no where costra nostra stuff lol) i do know in some cases in this instance where the law has determined their snitch to be more valuable in other cases and they have thrown atleast that charge out if they don't want to reveal their source. but when pa charges they always tact on about 10 meaningless charges that way they are sure to get you somewhere. even if you commit a crime and it involves a cell phone they will tact on criminal use of communication facility. i mean what criminal this day in age doesn't use a cell phone?

I hate Dicknoses!!!!!!
