Prejudicial evidence. And now his attorney points outs he served 33 months of a 36 minimum sentence. Even if convicted again it could not exceed the original sentence and is in line for parole. He has three months left so theoretically, a judge could under the rules give him a two month sentence. He under of the suggestion of why bother. Monsignor lynns own system shows he helped to create this system to help shield pedophile priests. His defense was people above him that knew should have been guilty as well. There was sufficient evidence to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and im quite confident well do it again.

This demand by the unions for a quid pro quo, transforms the promise of the Campaign Contribution to bribery and the threat of withholding that contribution to extortion, under both state and federal law.
