	Accused Asheville Priest's Hearing Delayed Citizen-Times June 20, 2009 http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090620/NEWS01/90619101 ASHEVILLE — A court hearing for a former priest accused of deleting hundreds of child pornographic images from the home computer of his music minister has been continued until August. The Rev. John Schneider is scheduled to have a probable cause hearing Aug. 14 on a felony charge of obstruction of justice. Schneider, 56, resigned from St. Eugene Catholic Church following his June 9 arrest. A warrant states that Schneider entered the North Ridge Drive apartment of former music minister Paul Lawrence Berrell on May 18 and deleted hundreds of pornographic images of children "in secret and with malice" during a criminal investigation of Berrell. That's the same day police charged Berrell, 29, with taking indecent liberties with a minor. The arrest followed a complaint from a parent, according to a police report.
