By your own admission Lynn had to deal with the molesters therefore knowing who the molesters were and he did nothing except move these molesting priests from parish to parish. Agreed the priests who molested children were some sick bastards maybe because of something that happened in their lives but what is Lynn's excuse. You people are great about coming up with excuses. Will you tell me Lynn's failure to protect children was because of this oath of obedience he took ? That he was only following the other pimp cardinal B instructions ?<br /><br />I look at the facts. Lynn admitted failure to protecting the children of the archdiocese and he is where he is suppose to be. If he behaves and tows the line and does what he is told to do by both the guards and fellow inmates he will exit without a scratch. However, if he gets an attitude while doing his time there are people in prison who will gladly set him straight.<br /><br />Lynn is not in some day camp with sing-a-longs at night. He is in a place no matter how much you feel the inmates respect him there maybe just that one who will look at him as an excuse for all the turmoil in his life because he was abused as a child and like Lynn there were people in his life that stood by and did nothing.<br /><br />In a way I hope what you believe is right, I would hate to come back here and say I TOLD YOU SO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-45126114297968825722015-05-24T07:52:52.660-04:002015-05-24T07:52:52.660-04:00Ralph, did you know that thankfully the Superior C...Ralph, did you know that thankfully the Superior Court granted Tom Bergstrom's request to assign the three original Superior Court justices to Monsignor Lynn's appeal?

Reasonable people, even incarerated , can and do make the distinction. <br /><br />Lynn had the respect of the inmates with whom he lived in Waymart. The inmates knew his story and knew that he was not a criminal and didn't belong among them.

This poor soul was 4 years older. Lynn being a scapegoat is your feeling. Prisoners only hear the term convicted and read again why this prisoner killed the priest..

There are catholic churches in Montgomery, Chester and Berks county who also have and had abusive priests. Possibly a priest who was moved there by Lynn. Different state ? That does not help either. There are only 4 (four) archdioceses in this country who have had no accusations of sexual abuse by priests. Information that Ralph Cipriano does not know or information he would prefer not to share. Different country ? Nope that does not help either. The sick actions of catholic priests is global and in each location the crimes of these pedophile priests the church tried to hide it like Lynn did by moving priests from one spot to another.<br /> <br /><br />Its now time to concern myself with what the real media are reporting about, a cow loose on 295.

She wanted to show that she was tough on crime and thereby a suitable candidate for either the Superior or Supreme Courts (she failed miserably...her true colors came out),<br /><br /> - she made her anti-AD bias evident by her comment during the juror vetting process - "Anybody that doesn’t think there is widespread sexual abuse within the Catholic Church is living on another planet.”<br /><br />- she refused to recuse herself after this revealing remark,<br /><br />- she was often mistaken for a member of the prosecution team during the trial, one time (for the benefit of the prosecution) even going so far as to personally solicit testimony from an alleged abuse victim,<br /><br />- she allowed the prosecution to present incidents of sexual abuse within the AD before Monsignor Lynn was even born.<br /><br />- after Lynn's conviction, she dragged her feet for almost 6 months in delivering her 'opinion' to the Superior Court, and even had to be coerced by the court to finally send it.<br /><br />When the Superior Court ordered Lynn released forthwith, a humiliated (but obviously vindictive) Sarmina decided to hold him under house arrest.<br /><br />As a result of her (shall we be charitable) mismanagement of the Lynn trial, she was banished to the civil trial division. Sarmina wanted to make a name for herself, which she certainly did.

No testimony by perjurers Billy Doe and Leo Hernandez and the long line of people claiming abuse by priests, including those BEFORE Lynn assumed the position.<br /><br />And Lynn will be FREED on bail with NO monitoring device affixed to his ankle and the usual restriction imposed on people freed on bail such as passport surrender, not to travel outside Pennsylvania without permission of a judge and to keep the parole officer aware to his or her whereabouts.<br /><br />The only one to wear Lynn's ankle monitor will be Judge Sarmina and this will affect her ability to go to the bathroom without setting off the alarm. Teach her a profound lesson.<br /><br />Once those parameters clearly specified to both the prosecution and defense, DA Seth Williams will chuck it by throwing in the towel.

Here we have a retired judge on the DA’s payroll ‘improving relations with the bench’. Does this mean that DeFino – who apparently had unfettered access to Ceisler’s chambers – ‘helped’ the relatively new judge with difficult rulings that benefited the prosecution and – by extension – Seth Williams’ career?<br /><br />Seth is showing his increasing concern that his 'historic conviction' will morph into a Lynn retrial at which Billy Doe, Leo Hernandez and others will be expected to testify.<br /><br />Hopefully, this will happen before the August civil trial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
