Altoona Mirror
By Phil Ray
The Altoona-Johnstown Catholic Diocese and the attorney for an alleged priest abuse victim predicted victory as they prepared to return to Superior Court to argue for a third time about the amount of money the former Altoona resident should receive.
The diocese says it shouldn't have to pay Michael Hutchison, now of Akron, Ohio, the $1 million in punitive damages the jury awarded him almost 11 years ago.
Hutchison's Altoona attorney, Richard M. Serbin, said there is evidence to warrant the punitive damages.
