Recent Depositions

Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis
June 9, 2014

http://www.archspm.org/resources_articles/recent-depositions/

On April 2, 2014, Archbishop John Nienstedt gave his deposition in the case of Doe #1, which is a civil lawsuit against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, the Diocese of Winona, and Thomas Adamson.

We offer the deposition in its entirety, as part of our renewed commitment to transparency. As you will notice, the Archbishop answered every question asked. The court pre-determined the length of the four hour deposition, and the Archbishop continued to answer questions past the time allotted. There was not a single question asked about Thomas Adamson and the allegations of abuse of Doe #1 in 1976-1977.

You will see a searchable PDF of the deposition below.

You will also see links to the entire video of the deposition (in three chapters) posted below, allowing you to see the questions and answers in context.
