	Judge to Decide If Wis. Priest Will Stand Trial WCCO July 24, 2010 http://wcco.com/wireapnewswi/Judge.to.decide.2.1822702.html MADISON, Wis. (AP) ― A judge is set decide this week whether an Onalaska priest will stand trial in a child pornography case. The Rev. Patrick Umberger was charged earlier this month with one felony count of possession of child pornography punishable by up to 25 years in prison and $100,000 in fines. A criminal complaint says state agents found photographs of children in sexual positions on Umberger's computer. Umberger, the pastor at St. Pat's Parish, faces a preliminary hearing in La Crosse County Circuit Court on Wednesday in front of Judge Elliot M. Levine. A preliminary hearing is the step in the legal process where a judge decides there's enough evidence to order a defendant to trial.
