I have to say that I agree with most of it. After reading it, I shared it with all of my friends on Facebook and asked them to share it with all of their friends.<br /> I believe Mr. Bergstrom should withdraw his motion to the Superior Court claiming double jeopardy for Monsignor Lynn and go to trial. He then would be able to subpoena all the witnesses involved in the initial trial including: all the ADAs involved in trying the case; Danny Gallagher's medical records including all those from the various drug and alcohol rehab centers; all the calendars maintained by his mother, especially the 1998 calendar; his drug counselor; both Social Workers from the Archdiocese who spoke with him in their car outside his home since only one was called as a witness in either of the other trials; the teachers and music director who oversaw the bell choir; his brother and Danny Gallagher himself. By calling them as his witnesses, he would not have to be concerned about going "beyond the cope" of direct testimony from the ADA's questioning of the witness. He could question ADA Sorensen as to the contents of the Grand Jury Presentment/Report and the discrepancies he found in it. He could question the ADAs if all pertinent information, interviews, handwritten and typewritten notes were turned over to the defense in discovery. He would be able to call me to testify to what I discovered during my investigation, the comments made to me by ADA Sorensen and the lies told to me by Danny Gallagher. Maybe he would also be able to find out who lied to Judge Ceisler telling her that I was helping the defense before and during the trial. <br /> I believe that if Mr. Bergstrom handles this case in the above manner Monsignor Lynn would get the fair trial that he deserves and that Father Charles Englehart and Bernard Shero would get the justice they so rightly deserve.Retired Detective Joe Walshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-1959447178002033132018-01-19T11:31:08.087-05:002018-01-19T11:31:08.087-05:00In their brief, the D.A.'s office asserts that...In their brief, the D.A.'s office asserts that Msgr.

The OAG has a vested interest in defending the convictions. Investigative reporters have shown no interest in an objective examination of the case. It's easier for reporters to just shill for the OAG.<br /><br />I'm not even sure that Spanier will be exonerated on appeal. The PA Supreme Court reinstated the conviction of Lynn after the Superior Court threw it out the first time. <br /><br />The Spanier appeal judge twisted the law like a pretzel and ruled that the statute of limitations (SOL) for EWOC was until the child reached age 50. The actual law said the SOL was 2 years.

It seems like 2018 will be another banner year for your bigtrial blog.<br /><br />It makes you wonder what sort of due dillegence that new District Attorney/Attorney Generals do when they first get on the job and have to make decisions about their predecessor's previous bad decisions. Krasner is now in a lose-lose situation. If they lose the appeal they lose; if they win the appeal, they will have a case that they can't win and will look extremely foolish in the process (a bigger loss imo). <br /><br />I see a parallel with Pa. AG Josh Shapiro's decision to go full steam behind the decision to prosecute Spanier, Curley, and Schultz. Shapiro has to know that there really wasn't any conspiracy or even any EWOC. I believe that the truth will eventually be evident: Spanier will eventually be exonerated on appeal and that there will be a new, indepedent and objective investigation whose results will be consistent with NCIS Special Agent John Snedden's findings. It seems that key decisions are based more on maintaining the status quo as opposed to th merits of the case.Steve Mastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01761251225810277204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-31629138172037907252018-01-18T10:35:46.563-05:002018-01-18T10:35:46.563-05:00Well my euphoria only lasted for 2 weeks, how disa...Well my euphoria only lasted for 2 weeks, how disappointing to hear he is still moving forward with the trial.
