More disturbing news from Miami.
Florida attorney Sharon Bourassa had a conversation with noted Dallas attorney Sylvia Demarest, who informed Bourassa that Miami archbishop John Favalora "is very good friends" with defrocked priest and convicted pedophile Robert Melancon, currently serving a long prison term.
Demarest told Bourassa that "some unknown person" came up with one million in T-bills to make bond for Melancon in 1998. While Melancon was out on bond, he reportedly stayed at the Favalora family home.
"Favalora admits to visiting his friend [Melancon] and says he will always visit him," Bourassa asserts.
In addition, says Bourassa, Demarest believes Favalora is "one big item" — bigger than people realize.
