	Dale Fushek Trial to Start April 30 By Jim Walsh The Arizona Republic February 1, 2010 http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/02/01/20100201mr-fushek.html The long-delayed trial of an excommunicated Roman Catholic priest accused of misdemeanor sex charges has been delayed again, this time because former Monsignor Dale Fushek's defense attorney has a schedule conflict. After two long delays from appeals of pre-trial decisions, Fushek had been scheduled to stand trial on Feb. 19 on one count to contributing to the delinquency of a minor while he was pastor of St. Timothy's Catholic Church in Mesa. But San Tan Justice of the Peace Sam Goodman granted a continuance, re-setting a hearing on motions April 16, and setting a new trial date of April 30. In a Jan. 22 motion, defense attorney Tom Hoidal informed Goodman he is scheduled to start a murder trial on Feb. 8 in Maricopa County Superior Court. Fushek faces five separate trials on contributing to the delinquency of a minor charges and one count of indecent exposure. The charges stem from Fushek's actions with teenaged boys participating in the Life Teen youth ministry he founded. Fushek is accused of committing the crimes from1983 to 1994.
