	Judge Delays Discussion of Records in Priest Case Chicago Tribune April 7, 2006 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/southsouthwest/chi-0604070244 apr07,1,332330.story?coll=chi-newslocalssouthwest-hed CHICAGO -- A Cook County Criminal Court judge on Thursday delayed discussion on records in the sexual abuse case against Rev. Daniel McCormack to allow an attorney for the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago to attend the talks. Judge Thomas Sumner was set to hear attorneys' arguments on whether some sealed records that the judge got in March from James Geoly, the archdiocese lawyer, should be turned over to the prosecutors who subpoenaed them. Geoly was out of town Thursday, and Sumner said he would like Geoly to be present when the documents are discussed. All the parties are expected back in court May 30. Geoly previously said the archdiocese has turned over 900 pages of documents on McCormack, but the separate file given to Sumner includes information that can be considered privileged under Illinois law. McCormack has pleaded not guilty to aggravated criminal sexual abuse. He is accused of molesting three boys at St. Agatha Church on Chicago's West Side.
