Report: Settlement Talks with Bishop Eddie Long Rocky By Ty Tagami The Atlanta Journal-Constitution May 13, 2011 http://www.ajc.com/news/dekalb/report-settlement-talks-with-944073.html
The judge in the case told Channel 2 Action News that he is scheduling trial for late summer, the TV station reported Thursday. The threat of a trial appears to conflict with an earlier statement by State Court Judge Johnny Panos. Around Easter, Panos said that the major obstacles to settlement had been resolved and that the parties were discussing small details. Four young men have accused Long, the pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, of sexual coercion. He has denied the allegations. New Birth spokesman Art Franklin declined to comment when reached by the AJC on Thursday. --Staff writer Shelia M. Poole contributed to this article. |
