What to look for on Smart Talk Friday, October 24, 2014:

The scandal that has enveloped dozens of current and former Pennsylvania law enforcement officials who allegedly received or sent pornographic emails continues to grow in scope.

This week, Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Seamus McCaffery was suspended by his follow justices in part for sending more than 200 sexually explicit emails to a friend in the attorney general’s office. The Court also was punishing Justice McCaffrey for allegedly threatening to release emails that could embarrass Justice Michael Eakin.

This comes after disparaging remarks about McCaffery from Chief Justice Ron Castille.

On Friday’s Smart Talk, we’ll hear from Paul Titus of the group Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts on whether the scandal hurts the court’s credibility in the public’s eyes.

Also, ovarian cancer kills more than 14,000 women each year in the United States but it also doesn’t get quite as much attention as other forms of the disease.

Awareness is important because early detection of ovarian cancer is the best way to treat it and save lives.

Appearing on Friday’s program to discuss ovarian cancer are Dr. Mark Miller, Medical Director of WellSpan Gynecologic Oncology, and two ovarian cancer survivors Faith Drummond and Deanna Won.
