Ceisler had both the power and the obligation to nullify the verdict and start the whole fiasco over which - of course - she didn't because the poor dear said that she was strapped for time.<br /><br /> Or maybe this was because Ceisler had retired judge Anthony J. DeFino - a nattily attired peripatetic with a flower in his lapel, and on Seth Williams' payroll as a 'contractor' - whispering in her ear on those difficult rulings - or lack thereof - to ensure a conviction. <br /><br />We'll never know as DeFino died in a house fire shortly after the trial.<br /><br />As a result, the church lost 5 million dollars, an innocent priest died manacled to a hospital bed, and Bernie Shero - in addition to the consummate indignity of his unjust incarceration - had to forfeit vast sums of money for his legal defense. <br /><br />The lawyers always get paid, don't they??<br /><br />Philadelphia jurisprudence sucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-63001088733469131702018-11-03T18:13:31.055-04:002018-11-03T18:13:31.055-04:00Prosecutors who perjure themselves or introduce pe...Prosecutors who perjure themselves or introduce perjurious evidence should be fired and disbarred from the practice of law.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578737874188115992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-35559145770576354822018-11-02T16:58:52.709-04:002018-11-02T16:58:52.709-04:00Jim Jr. would have also had to testify what he tol...Jim Jr. would have also had to testify what he told Detective Walsh, that it was the sextons who put away the wine after Mass, and not the altar boys, as Danny the liar had claimed. bigtrial.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188557653424544411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-43767196829238446252018-11-02T15:43:57.445-04:002018-11-02T15:43:57.445-04:00Ralph, you are correct....and from what I understa...Ralph, you are correct....and from what I understand, Jim Jr would have had to testify that brother danny didn't start changing and using drugs until he left St. Jerome's and went to high school, contrary to what Danny and all of those bogus friends testified in Ceisler's courtroom.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-66646639527042578722018-11-02T15:31:17.618-04:002018-11-02T15:31:17.618-04:00Have to agree with all your points.

This can not be overlooked, defendants are denied a fair trial when they are the subject of continual exposure of negative publicity, condemning them in a public forum. <br /><br />Mainstream media holds up as truth to its readers that a person committed a crime, they are believed for telling the truth and being objective which is not the case. The media is used to condemn not find innocence, much like the prosecution. Why would a reader doubt a journalist, who they assume did research into facts when all they are working with are the facts of the prosecution, who want to win at all costs. <br /><br />As hard as it is to believe but prosecutors distort the truth to make facts match their desired outcome, they don't seek the truth as we might believe. Unfortunately, most prosecutors are showboats who love the limelight and need a high profile conviction to boost their careers. <br /><br />The Catholic Church deserves to be scrutinized, pedophiles who prayed on innocents need to be exposed and punished but so do prosecutors who lie and deceive the public, who make a career of sending innocents to jail, they need to be punished as well. Just as the Catholic Church enjoyed a millennium of free passes, which is now over, we need to expose prosecutors who do the exact same thing to innocents.<br /><br /> Exposing prosecutors and FBI agents who lie to grand juries and at trial, will open the eyes of juries who somehow get soft in the head when they are called to serve on a jury, believing the lies they read and which are again repeated in a courtroom by the prosecution.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-70045858872558567312018-11-01T18:31:13.428-04:002018-11-01T18:31:13.428-04:00More dirty tricks.

If you can't win your case, then the best tactic is to just keep delaying and driving up the costs for the opponent. We need a better 'I'll see you' process before yielding to delaying tactics.
