Maybe the one who had his arm around Billy after he was on the stand and told his lies. Well, if you were there, paid the slightest bit of attention to Billy's three different stories, maybe you should have realized they were untruthful and full of doubt. One simple question for you Mr. Believer. Just one honest answer I would like you to respond with.<br /><br />Do you believe Billy's testimony, which he said in the grand jury report and on the stand repeatedly, that he was in the Bell Choir Maintenance Crew in 5th Grade, which is when Avery allegedly did these thing to him? Do you believe he was a member of this crew, which had to lift 30 pound tables and bells, being the scrawny, little, 10 yr old kid as depicted in his picture by the prosecution in court. You must have seen the picture since you were there. I saw it multiple times when I was there.<br /><br />Answer by you......<br /><br />Rebuttal by me.....<br /><br />Because he is the only one of this earth who thinks he was in the crew in that grade. It has been disputed by the woman who has run that activity since its beginning 30 years ago. I guess she has no credibility, right, she is just a catholic teacher. She must be a liar. It was also disputed on this blog by his own brother's signed transcript with a detective for the DA's office. I guess he, a lawyer told a detective in the DA's office lies too, right?<br /><br />So if you believe him and this CORE storyline of both cases, you are blind to the facts of the case. You are blind to facts of Billy's life and his agenda. You discount every good standing, honest citizen who took the stand and disputed this kids stories, to believe a career criminal. They were not there for the defendants, like charachter witnesses, they were there tell the jury what really happened when these abuses may have taken place. People with no agenda, just being honest about what really goes on at St. Jeromes. 5th graders are not in bell choir maintenance sir, it was a lie. All the doors to the sachristy after any mass are never locked, another lie. Sextons are always at the church, doing all the church duties that Billy said that alter boys do, which they do not do (wine, candles, etc). Lie # 3. <br /><br />I can go on and on and on. Lies equal doubt in the real world. Try living in it.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-23185786402900813632013-02-28T15:46:19.543-05:002013-02-28T15:46:19.543-05:00chippy111, I attended both trials, did you ?

This site and the posts over the past two months, speak of this specific case, in this city, where justice was not served. Why don't you and Arthur look at this website as a place to expose the truly, tragic lies in this case. You were abused when you were young. Everyone, myself included, feel awful about that. But, what you should do is harness your passion to expose the lies Billy told. Don't you realize that Billy WILL BE EXPOSED in time as a liar and a fraud, which will devalue real cases of abuse, such as your own. It will call into question your truth. Did you read the facts of this case or just have so much hatred for the church and its followers, that you are blind to reality. Billy has spent his life as a criminal, from the time he was 13. Ten years plus as a criminal to be precise, learning along the way how to wiggle in and out of lies. He is not just a drug addict, he is a criminal. He has spent the past 4 years of his life practicing for the latest trial. Being bailed out along the way by his civil attorney. He has carefully crafted and molded his lies in believable (somehow) accounts of abuse. A complete fabrication, denounced by good, law abiding citizens who under oath said that the acounts, (where, when, how) could not have happened at all in the confines of St. Jeromes Church. Teachers and nuns that at one time in our society, were looked at as role models and people who carried a standard of ethics used to mold our own children. Their testimony was heard on deaf ears in this case. They should not even been called, because it mattered zero. These men are in jail. Not home, IN JAIL. They and their families are suffering for lies of a career crimanal. A con man and a jury who convicted them before day 1. Its a disgrace that we live in a society like this. Look at the facts and you may just see the truth. Lies...

This comment is not about why Ratzinger has left. but what is contained in the documents he would not release. This has always been a major problem when dealing with the catholic church. The secret documents, the shredding of secret documents, the hiding of priests to avoid prosecution. This is a continued example of how the church operates and how its leaders set examples for others to follow, Then you have the devout catholics who are so brainwashed by what they have been taught by the church they will not ask questions even if they want to. They only continue to dig deeper to fund this questionable organization. The sayings "you should be seen but not Heard" or "keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut" is how the church wants you to behave. However, I see slowly more and more people questioning the church, standing up and speaking out. <br /><br />The failure of Ratzinger and CHAPUT to release any document only shows the catholic church cannot be trusted. I would love to see organizations like SNAP or Bishop Accountability cease to exist, but I don't see it in the near future.

The archdiocese knew about avery for sometime and as lynn sat on the stand and laughed about how avery slipped through the cracks knowing that he was an abuser. How long was avery on the stand when he was exposed as a liar ? He stated he was broke, even though he admitted to buying a house for a dollar and then selling the house for a million, I would like to be broke like that . Regarding the polygraph the defense attorney can always get the desired results to create doubt, that is what they are paid for. If the archdiocese of Phila did not enable and protect these abusers then why is chaput against changes in the law that will eliminate the SOL and open a Window for VICTIMS, and these changes DO NOT single out the catholic church. Both Grand Jury reports show over a hundred priests as having creditable complaints against them ? The only scapegoats here are the pew catholics who continue to donate to an religious organization who's only concern is avoiding scandal and cash flow. The rcc's privilege of <br />immunity needs to be revoked.

I will admit there are some holes in Billy's story that I would like to question him about and I would like to clarify. Do I believe that Billy was abused by Avery ? Yes. Do I think when you did this interview for this article you were not being told the whole truth ? Yes. It seems this piece is a way for Mr. Wallace to defend his image for the way he poorly represented his "INNOCENT" client. We all know that Avery has a history of child abuse but what attorney in their right mind would tell a client, who is telling you that they are innocent of this specific crime,( backed up by your own lie detector test) to take a plea deal ? It makes no sense and where is the defense ? Did Mr. Wallace also give Avery that great advice to pull that stunt at the last trial (stating his innocense) that most likely will have Avery serve his full 5 years and possibly be charged with perjury ? This was not a story about Billy's lies or truth. This was a story about a well known Philadelphia attorney who is trying to defend his actions on how he poorly represented a client.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
