PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ten alternates have been chosen to join a dozen jurors for a landmark priest-abuse trial in Philadelphia.
Monsignor William Lynn is set to go on trial March 26 on child-endangerment and conspiracy charges.
Lynn was the long-time secretary for clergy in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Prosecutors say he endangered children by transferring priests accused of child sex-abuse from parish to parish.
The 61-year-old Lynn has pleaded not guilty and says he took orders from the late Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua (beh-vih-LAH’-kwah).
