In December 1994, he sued Capobianco in a Tennessee state court. He alleged that Capobianco had engaged in fraud, embezzlement, forgery, conversion, and misappropriation of funds while working for him, resulting in damages of approximately $107,109.78. Attached to his complaint were copies of numerous checks that she had allegedly signed and issued without authorization. Capobianco answered in February 1995 and discovery commenced. At her deposition, she invoked her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and refused to answer questions regarding the checks.
Before the trial was to begin, Capobianco relocated from Tennessee to San Francisco. There, in August 1998, she filed her chapter 7 petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. The deadline for nondischargeability actions was November 2, 1998.
Oh boy. Nice catch.
If I'm deducing correctly after reading post 137, Copabianco had a ruling against her for $96,758 and afterwards magically all-of-a-sudden recalled the terrible trauma at the hands of Lenihan 20+ years before and then sued him and the church?
Nice find.
Get this to the Chronicle right away. I'm sure they'll jump right on it. (/sarcasm)
Seriously, I'm going to e-mail the guy who runs Chronwatch to get over to this thread.
