SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Supporters and family members of a man charged with assaulting a priest he says molested him decades ago resumed their daily lunch-time demonstrations Tuesday outside a California courthouse where jurors were trying to reach a verdict in the case.
The parents of defendant William Lynch spent the noon hour carrying picket signs with several other protesters, some of whom also claim to be victims of abuse by priests and have attended every day of the trial that began June 21.
“I’m nervous,” Peggy Lynch said as the jury began its second day of deliberations in the case against her son.
William Lynch, 44, is accused of pummeling Jerold Lindner with his fists on May 10, 2010, in what prosecutors called a vigilante attack.
