Did you see the deposition videos? I had glanced over the first day's transcript, and it was the second and third day's that were on TV last week. I don't think the fourth day's has been released yet. And, to tell the truth, I kept falling asleep while the depositions were on (it was during last week's heat wave, and the heat affects me badly).
You can get the impression from the article that the question was when Law first knew of Broussard's sexual abuse. If that was asked, I wasn't awake for it. But I did hear the question I noted above: When you were in Mississipi, would you have considered sexual abuse a crime? That's the question he never actually answered -- or the last of a series of questions about whether Law considered sexual abuse a crime prior to 1993. Not whether he knew of any, not whether he covered up any, just whether in his opinion it was a crime.
The comment by eastsider above, however (Jack Fritscher is a shameless self-promoter) makes me wonder whether the Herald went digging or Jack Fritscher and company contacted them.
Did you see the deposition videos?No, I haven’t seen them.
You can get the impression from the article that the question was when Law first knew of Broussard's sexual abuse.In my last reply I was relying more on what you said than what the article said. You seemed to be putting it in a very different light than the article did, and I trust you more.
If that was asked, I wasn't awake for it. But I did hear the question I noted above: When you were in Mississipi, would you have considered sexual abuse a crime?A very vague question. What is sexual abuse, and how did the Cardinal understand that term. What was the law on the books in Miss. at the time, and does this law support a conclusion that it was a crime. Etc. Personally, I would have prepped any witness of mine well enough that he wouldn't answer that question either. AT least make the attorney define the terms.
I’m sure there is more than I am aware of in the transcripts, and things that do a better job of pinning him down. If not, these attorneys have not done their job.
