deadlocked or not, the priest sex-abuse jury did its job.
philadelphia daily news.
The Philly case is intense and deep for the RCC,the most severe since the scandal broke in Boston mid1990's it is getting worldwide attention
It also follows on the heels of last week's astounding $28 million jury verdict in favor of an Oakland, Calif., woman who was sexually molested as a child by a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, whose NATIONAL POLICY was to keep sex-abuse allegations secret.
Love it
in light of the candice conti civil trial against the wtbs and the pro-jehovah's witness/apologist comments posted on various news websites, i thought i would give a simplified explanaition of what is involved in appealing the outcome of a trial in the courts of the united states.. a trial, whether criminal or civil, usually ends with a verdict rendered by a jury.
in a criminal case the verdict is guilty or not guilty.
that same jury may decide the punishment in the event of a guilty verdict.. in a civil case a jury must decide based on the evidence whether the defendant is guilty of damaging the plaintiff.
Bump valuable info on round 2

the article seems to suggest that some of the news reports about the case may be exaggerated.
although i can understand this perspective if you only consider what the media has said, the actual facts of the case are much worse than has been indicated by the newspapers.. i left a comment.
The Watchtower trolls function EXACTLY like Scientology
They sleazy shill 50-70% of post claiming to be 'not a witness' are JW's who LIE about being a JW to try to create the appearance of an unbiased observer.
Shame on Jehovah's Witnesses shills.Hey you WWJD?
Its 'across the pond' now in UK

The JW bas*tards can only whine that the 'award will get whittled down in appeals court,OR they get obscene and revile like good righteous JWs

today i added a new article to my blog addressing a dated and signed statement by the watch tower corporation of its financial worth.
this information is provided for benefit of a jury that has already found in favor of a single plaintiff to the tune of 7-million us dollars and will today be asked to consider whether punitive damages should be added to its finding for the plaintiff.
