The jury has not rendered a verdict. Once a verdict is rendered, he will either go home or go to jail. Suppose he is acquitted, then there will be a review with Chaput on his fitness as a priest. I cannot predict what he will say but he reserves the ultimate decision on his fate.<br /><br />Very interesting remark made by the maintenance man outside the courtroom in which he said he put a priest in jail. Most of the media recognized him as one of the grand jurors in the Lynn trial. Question begging to be answered is if he was able to differentiate between the 1972 EWOC law and the 2007 revision of the EWOC law to make a proper decision on Lynn's guilt. Probably not as the jury was led by the gasoline laced trial of evidence laid by the prosecutor and aided and abetted by Judge Sarmina who did not care if Lynn was sentenced to be shot in City Hall Courtyard. The fact that he referred to errant priests as monsters supports this hypothesis. He and the other jurors paid no heed to the fact that previous cases of abuse that happened before Lynn was born and became a priest were dumped on Lynn. This miscarriage of justice will soon be corrected by the State Supreme Court.<br /><br />To have such mob rule happen in a court of law is an embarassment to Philadelphia, home of the founding of the United States of America and the liberties so cherished in our Constitution.

But how can anyone guarantee that he won't pursue another position in the future where he is around younger males again? I know those are not questions any of us can answer. It's just a fear that will remain. I apologize if I got testy and/or disrespectful. That wasn't my intention.

Forgive me for not seeing the similarities in the two situations. Sadly, some men get behind the "collar" and think that puts them above the law and other societal standards. In this case, I think the "collar" got a bit too tight and will now become his downfall. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-9094101245732211262014-03-06T08:00:14.471-05:002014-03-06T08:00:14.471-05:00My Italian grandfather served me wine when I was 9...My Italian grandfather served me wine when I was 9 or 10 at the dinner table every Sunday.
