PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jury questions in a Philadelphia clergy-abuse trial suggest confusion over charges pending against a Roman Catholic church official.
Monsignor William Lynn is charged with conspiracy and child endangerment for his handling of abuse complaints.
Jurors have asked if Lynn had to conspire with a convicted priest, Edward Avery, or if he’d be guilty if he conspired only with his colleagues at the Philadelphia archdiocese.
The question has spawned hours of courtroom debate, even after a 10-week trial.
