PHILADELPHIA — Monday could prove a key day in court for a Philadelphia monsignor charged with endangering children by transferring predator priests
Monsignor William Lynn will ask a judge to limit testimony at the March trial to evidence about his three co-defendants — two priests and a former teacher charged with raping the same boy.
Prosecutors want to include accusations made against many other priests to show Lynn routinely kept child molesters on the job.
The 61-year-old Lynn is the first U.S. church official ever charged criminally for his administrative actions. He faces more than a decade in prison if convicted.
