	Second Church Child Sex Abuse Trial Discussed at Hearing Associated Press, carried on WXVT May 22, 2008 http://www.wxvt.com/Global/story.asp?S=8363669&nav=menu1344_2 AMITE, La. - Attorneys say it could take longer than a week to try the next suspect in the Hosanna Church child sex abuse case. Defense attorney Michael Thiel told state District Judge Zoey Waguespack Wednesday that he could see the aggravated rape trial for his client, 49-year-old Louis D. Lamonica of Holden, taking longer than a week. Former church pastor Lamonica is 1 of 7 members of the now-defunct Hosanna Church in Ponchatoula indicted in 2005 on charges of raping the same three children. His case is set for trial on August 18th. Another former Hosanna member, 39-year-old Austin "Trey" Bernard, is serving a life sentence after being convicted in December of 3 counts of aggravated rape of a 2-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy.
