Except ...Ralph -- I have nothing to explain to you. Except that I can't even begin to quantify your "errors." Especially counting, as you do, every repetition of a single purported mistake. Your original article claiming 20 errors in the grand jury report is completely bogus. So every time you've quoted or referenced your own dishonest work would constitute another error (lie??). Given how often you like to do that, I would estimate that your untruths are approaching triple digits. I'm not going to go through all your misrepresentations of the facts, but given that you count the use of the words rape and sodomy with respect to Fr. Brennan's crimes as 11 discreet errors (because, according to you, it is impossible to commit a rape if the victim is wearing underwear), I suggest that you consult your blog's sponsor on the law. Last time I researched the topic, there was no ruling by Pennsylvania courts, but several other states and federal courts that have considered the question have held that rape and sodomy can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt even when the victim is wearing underwear or other clothing. The necessary “penetration no matter how slight” can be accomplished through or around the clothing. See, for example, Davis v. Commonwealth of Virginia, 643 S.E. 2d 322 (Va. 2006)(penetration found through “regular issue . . .polyester pants . . .and undergarments as well), citing United States v. Norman, 139 F.3d1099, 1103 (10th Cir. 1997)(“Unquestionably, some penetration could occur through pliable clothing. . . . Existence of such material does not ... protect defendants from prosecution under the statute [object sexual penetration of a child].”); Nguyen v. Cate, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 33561, 33 (U.S. District Ct. N. Cal. 2012) (Where the victim described contact “in the middle …[of her] butt,” ”“the jury could find sufficient evidence of sodomy even if they believed that the contact occurred outside Sandy’s clothing.”); People v. Ribera, 34 Cal. Rptr. 3d 538 (Ct. of App. Of Cal., 5th App. Dis. 2005)(evidence was sufficient to prove sodomy where victim testified that defendant “poked” his penis into her behind, even though victim was wearing underwear). See also, Chrobak v. State of Arkansas, 58 S.W. 3d 387 (evidence was sufficient to prove rape where defendant penetrated by moving the victim’s underwear and pajamas to the side); Cummings v. Burge, 581 F. Supp. 2d 436 (W.D.N.Y. 2008)(rape accomplished by pushing underwear aside).<br /><br />Now, I have a question for you. Who gave you copies of grand jury testimony that was not ever made part of the public record?<br />Marianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670172841562050943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-26034364950363256972016-01-01T15:56:26.258-05:002016-01-01T15:56:26.258-05:00I use tablet and you have to hit the keyboard rig...I use tablet and you have to hit the keyboard right, sorry about that.

I know if I had or even the belief you have with the grand jury report I would be shouting it from the rooftops every day and not only when it is time to post a new blog. I would have taken the opportunity when the leader of the catholic church was in town to look at these so-called errors to appeal to the mayor regarding possible wrongdoings of the District Attorney's office. Did you even attempt to go down that avenue ? Have you brought these errors to the Bar Association ? How come we have not seen one interview from an attorney from the law firm that sponsors you ?

Inky leaves Seth Williams alone to avoid blowback from black community. No accident two women judges assigned to host Lynn and Englehardt Shero trials as their motherly instincts would kick in when denying defense motions to dismiss. Male judges would have killed both trials by granting defense motions. Zero evidence to convict due to unreliable testimony from Billy Doe. They Had nobody left to convict other than the above referenced and McCormick and Brennan. McCormick survived both trials and Seth declined to retry him. Brennan up for trial next month.

I'll get ...James when did you become a racist ? I'll get back to that though. Your first paragraph describes what Lynn has done wrong along with the rest of the church. Parents never had the chance to make an informed decision if they wanted their children to be around suspected abusers. It was forced down their throats as we have seen with Avery, Fr. Paul at Our Lady of Calvary and most recently the removal of Fr. Harris from ministry once again keeping St. Bridget parishioners in the dark. If you don't think the actions of the church have not been devastating to the church you are right. They don't care. But ask that question to the majority of parishioners they would disagree with you. The empty pew space, along with the closing of schools and churches, the sale of real estate and increases in tuition is only small proof of the devastation. How this archdiocese has not made it into bankruptcy court is a miracle in itself. Something I cannot take away from CEO Chaput. <br /><br />Now for my opening comment calling you a racist. Please inform us how you were able to make this a black and white issue with your comment "Seth's only supporters are in the black community" I am white and live in a upper middle class neighborhood and I am one of his biggest fans and so are my neighbors who are also white and black.
