SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A California judge has canceled trial for the day in the case of a man accused of beating a priest that he claimed molested him decades ago.
The judge dismissed the jury and lawyers on Thursday morning, moments before the priest was to take the witness stand to resume testifying for a second day.
Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge David Cena says he and the lawyers in the case had to discuss an undefined legal issue.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers for William Lynch declined comment. Lynch has pleaded not guilty to assaulting Lindner in 2010.
