Closing arguments are expected this morning in the trial of a man who allegedly beat a priest in Los Gatos two years ago.
Will Lynch is accused of assaulting the Rev. Jerold Lindner on March 10, 2010 at the Sacred Heart retirement home on College Avenue, where Lindner is listed as a child molester.
Lynch, now 44, is charged with two felonies that together carry a maximum sentence of four years — assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury and elder abuse under circumstances likely to produce great bodily harm or death.
Lynch alleges Lindner sexually molested Lynch and his brother in the 1970s during a camping trip.
