...A jury (and alternates) of 12 women and 4 men?!?<br /><br />I'm not impressed with defense lawyer Brennan over this.<br /><br />A trial of this nature - a Catholic priest defendant and a *mother* testifying for the accuser - needs a jury with a balance of both genders.<br /><br />When a *mother* is testifying on behalf of her son, that has an emotional power that can really connect with women who are also mothers.<br /><br />Score a big one for the prosecution.<br /><br />I'm also not impressed with the hint that the defendant will not testify. <br />People who say they are innocent should take the stand.

Defense will hammer the complainant with questions as to why didn't he report the abuse right away to family or to the school vice waiting until he "felt" inspired by the Lynn case to come forward. The complainant may not have substance issues, but could he have psychological issues?<br /><br />Still doesn't pass the smell test. Yet, if this goes on and the priest is acquitted, a lot of collateral damage will have been done to his reputation to a certain extend that he would not be of much use as a priest in the Archdiocese. .Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578737874188115992noreply@blogger.com
