	Priest Won't Testify Standard-Freeholder September 13, 2008 http://www.standard-freeholder.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1198204 (Staff) — A local Catholic priest will not have to testify at the inquiry, the tribunal's commissioner ruled yesterday. In the mid-1990s, Rev. Donald McDougald was responsible for ensuring the diocese's policy on handling sexual abuse complaints was being followed. There were concerns about his health, however. On Friday Comm. Normand Glaude ruled he would not be forced to take the stand. Coalition for Action attorney Frank Horn argued unsuccesssfully that it was important to put questions to McDougald, and that the priest testify in a "much quieter setting."
