	Now Church Wants to Exclude What Happened in the Rectories from Trials And Mahony Is Still Evading Interrogatories 1 - 8 Plus Quotes from Tom Doyle By Kay Ebeling City of Angels [Los Angeles, CA] June 21, 2007 http://cityofangels3.blogspot.com/2007/06/now-church-wants-to-exclude-what.html I went to court yesterday as a hearing on Cardinal Majony's answers to Interrogatories 1-8 was on calendar again. On the taped sheet outside the door the hearing on Mahony's answers was again off calendar but the clerk had apparently penned it back in. Then during a different hearing, Church Attorney Lee Potts said, "Your Honor, there's a hearing on the calendar and it's not supposed to be" referring to BC307225 re Interrogatories 1 through 8. After the hearings I went down to Room 106 to document dive and again found "arcscanweb is having difficulty please try later." I went back upstairs to get a copy of an order, and lo and behold there was a hearing going on. Church Attorney Sean Kneafsey had been in the hallway pacing on his cell phone earlier, a look on his face like twin towers were tumbling down inside his head. He was now in court against Tony DeMarco and Patrick Laurence for the plaintiffs. Apparently an ex parte in the jury room had gone so bad it was brought now before the judge unexpectedly. It was the hearing on Interrogatories 1 through 8, that elusive hearing that keeps going off calendar and on and off and on again. I didn't have my laptop out so didn't get verbatim quotes. But Kneafsey said Church Attorneys did everything they could to locate priests to be deposed about their memories of Clinton Hagenbach. Kneafsey said they'd sent letters to the parishes, something like, "the parishes are the structure we have for contacting priests." Tony DeMarco spoke up: It's our understanding the archdiocese continues to provide health insurance and other benefits to these priests, Your Honor. So they have a current address on these men.
