Los Gatos Priest Beating Case Trial Date Now Changed to June

CALIFORNIA
Patch

By Sheila Sanchez

Friday’s scheduled pretrial motions in the case against a San Francisco man accused of beating a priest at the Los Gatos Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in May of 2010 have been postponed until 9 a.m., May 3.

William Lynch, 44, has been arraigned on one count of felony assault with intent to cause great bodily injury and one count of elder abuse under circumstances likely to produce great bodily harm or death. He has pleaded not guilty to both charges.

The scheduled hearing was changed since presiding Santa Clara County Superior Superior Court Judge David Cena is tied up with a homicide trial that is running longer than expected.
