WHEELING — Circuit Judge Ronald Wilson is expected to rule Friday on whether Monsignor Kevin Quirk will be required to testify as a material witness in a clergy sex abuse trial taking place in Philadelphia.
A law clerk in Wilson’s Hancock County office said the judge, who currently serves as chief of the 1st Judicial Circuit, held a hearing April 12 regarding the validity of the material witness petition issued by the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office seeking Quirk to testify.
A secretary in Wilson’s office inadvertently informed The Intelligencer on Wednesday that the judge was not involved in the case.
The clerk, Heather Wood, said Wilson was assigned the case after Wheeling attorney William Kolibash, who is representing Quirk, indicated his client would contest the petition.
