PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The jury in the Philadelphia clergy abuse case continues its work (see previous story). Today, the panel submitted another series of questions about the law as it applies to the charges against Monsignor William Lynn and Father James Brennan, who are on trial.
The jury sought clarification on the attempted rape charge against Brennan, and the jury had a number of questions related to the conspiracy and child endangerment charges against Lynn.
The issues in some respects are complicated and technical.
In response to two questions, for example, jurors sought clarification on the word “and” specific to legal issues. The attorneys for the defense and prosecution could not agree on a response.
