WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) – A West Virginia judge says Monsignor Kevin Quirk must testify as a material witness in a clergy sexual abuse trial under way in Philadelphia.
Quirk’s attorney, William Kolibash, said Friday that Hancock County Circuit Judge Ronald Wilson has ruled that Quirk is a material witness in the case against the Rev. James Brennan.
Kolibash says his client must appear to testify between April 29 and May 1.
The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office couldn’t subpoena Quirk because he lives outside Pennsylvania. It needed a West Virginia judge to issue the subpoena.
