which is the indictment, in fact, charges a serious crime

5

or serious misconduct in office and if they have the

6

authority to try that, is there further recourse to the

7

Court of Appeals to determine whether or not that

8

determination has been correctly made, either by the

9

House of Delegates or by this ten-judge tribunal?

12

13

16

special tribunal.
