Call me Scoop. Thursday I interviewed Tony DeMarco on tape then thought the tape did not record. I could not make it play back. This morning I went to find out what happened and the tape played back. So it's confirmed. Cardinal Roger Mahony was subpoenaed to testify in the Kreutzer Cases trial, and convicted pedophile priest Michael Edwin Wempe, was quietly released recently and is living in Leisure World.

DeMarco said plaintiff "wants to have Cardinal Mahony testify at the June 11th jury trial, re the Kreutzer Cases." He added: "Church lawyers don't want the Cardinal to testify at trial so they filed a Motion to Quash the Trial Subpoena of the Cardinal."

In fact the night before May 30th hearing on the Cardinal's interrogatory answers, plaintiffs "filed an opposition because the Church lawyers filed a Motion to Quash Mr. Brady's trial subpoena of Cardinal Mahony." That may explain why church attorneys were distracted and didn't show up for the May 30th hearing.

Plaintiff Attorney Steve J. Brady of San Francisco filed the civil subpoena May 22, arguing "it's important for the cardinal to be testifying at trial," DeMarco said.

He added: "I like Mr. Brady's arguments. I think they had merit."

The following is copied from Superior Court website:

06/06/2007 at 08:31 am in department 20 at 111 North Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Motion for Order (QUASHING CIVIL SUBPOENA(PAPERS FILED ON 5/22)RE: BC308065)

So it's confirmed. The hearing June 6th is regarding Mahony's testimony.
