More pictures from Getty sworn-in to the Md. Court of Appeals Mon. June 27, 2016
Friends and family, former and current judges, and members of the General Assembly filled the legislative chambers to witness the pomp and ceremony as Md. Gov. Larry Hogan administered the oath of office for Getty to become the fifth judge from Carroll County to sit on the Md. Court of Appeals since 1867.

Getty sworn-in to the Md. Court of Appeals Mon. June 27, 2016
This morning in the House of Delegates Chamber in the historic Md. State House, Manchester resident and Carroll Co. native son Joseph M. Getty, Esq., the chief legislative officer for the office of the Md. Gov. was sworn in to represent the 3rd Appellate Judicial Circuit on the state's highest court, the Md. Court of Appeals.
As Getty's extended family looked-on, his wife, Susan Getty, had to hold the large 1772 family Bible with both hands as the oath was administered. Afterwards she received a big kiss from the newly-minted judge; at which time a member of audience pondered with a stage whisper as to whether the kiss was congratulations for holding the Bible up that long or for her husband ascending to the highest judicial post in the state.
Look for my story tomorrow in the Carroll Co. Times.
