The issue revolves around accusations of sexual crimes against minors.

The clear implication of what the judge said (as she waved the letter around) is that the lead defense counsel is a sex criminal.

Someone try that on either of you I think you'd blow a few gaskets.

Or, maybe you wouldn't. Frankly, I don't know ~ but the fact neither of you are all that excited about the prosecution and the judge appearing to do that to the defense at this stage suggests that you may well be emotionally numb or that you think anyone who would defend folks accused of pedophilia of being being a pedophile.

Remember, over the years as this sort of thing has become common (trials for pedophilia) it's been the prosecutors who are overzealous with regard to tossing around accusations of pedophilia (SEE: Little Rascals Day Care) and the judges who are prone to turning pedophiles loose (SEE: almost any trial court in Vermont).

The government (prosecutors and judges) appear to never be beyond outrageous behavior themselves eh~

Judge Renee Cardwell Hughes told defense attorney Richard DeSipio that she's received information that "might make you, in fact, a witness because of events that occurred while you were a seminarian."

The information "stems from the fact that you attended the seminary with a student who asserts HE was abused," Hughes said, adding that DeSipio "may possess factual knowledge about abuse that occurred with that student."

She added that the substance of the claim that DiSipio witnessed something is still unclear. "I just don't know if it's true," Hughes said. "I really don't know if it's true."

Can you actually READ the stinking article?!?!?!?!

She stated nothing as fact. She never accused him of abusing anyone. She said that she was informed that this MIGHT happen because he MAY have knowledge of the events.

Just where does it say that she said that he was accused of being a child molester? Where does it state that she was *waving a letter around*?

But don't let truth and the facts get in the way of a good agenda.

Wow. That is just about the most insane comment I've read in a long time on this forum. Wow.

Please show us where the judge said or implied ANYTHING like that.

She simply said the defense attorney attended the same seminary at the same time where and when the alleged sex abuse was taking place, and therefore he might have information about the case that would cause him to be called as a witness.

Witness.

In English, once again...

WITNESS.
