No matter how much hatred and contempt you have for what that man did in the '70s and '80s, it's about what happened in this case. It's about the law. Without the law we have nothing. It's what our country was founded on.

These new charges were fabricated. He's being prosecuted not for what he's charged with but for what he did 20, 30 years ago.

He violated the trust of a priest and the decency of any person by molesting numerous children. For that, there is no excuse, there is no explanation and there is no defense. And none will be offered.

The prosecution's case was based on passion, prejudice and emotion for what happened 20 to 30 years ago.
