“On March 3, 2011, as the jury was starting its first full day of deliberations, the Commonwealth informed the trial court that it believed there had been a fraud upon the court. The trial court halted jury deliberations. Following the arrival of defense counsel, the Commonwealth alleged that two defense exhibits had been forged. Ultimately, after permitting both parties to argue the appropriate remedy for the alleged forgery and allowing the Commonwealth to present expert testimony in support of the allegation that the documents were forged, the trial court declared a mistrial.”

The defense presented her with fifty separate documents which allegedly contained written directives from [Orie] instructing Ms. Pavlot to make sure that campaign activities were not engaged in on State time. Although [Pavlot] recognized the typed portion of both of those documents, she did not recognize [the] hand written notations also included.”
