	Church Appeals New Trial Order in Santillan Vs. Bishop of Fresno City of Angels July 16, 2009 http://cityofangels5.blogspot.com/2009/07/no-action-taken-on-fresno-yesterday.html The church filed an appeal of the order for a new trial in Fresno Superior Court July 10th in Santillan vs. Bishop of Fresno, where after the trial in March, a jury found Monsignor Anthony Herdegen did indeed molest the Santillan brothers, but the Diocese did not know the crimes were taking place, so there was not "prior notice." From the Fresno Superior Court Case Summaries: "Civil Cross-Appeal, Notice of Appeal, filed by: The Roman Catholic Bishop of Fresno on 07/10/09. Date of Judgment/Order:06/12/09 Judicial Officer: Donald S. Black. (mailed on 07/13/09)." The motion for a new trial for the younger Santillan brother was passed June 12th after a new witness came forward, and parties met yesterday with Judge Black for a status conference, but no date was set for the second trial. Because the Church has appealed. More to come later, after I finish work on my "real" job, funny, today I'm working on interviews about the rock band Black Sabbath. . .
