News in brief from the San Francisco Bay area
Oakland, California --
An Oakland judge has rejected a motion seeking to delay a key clergy sexual abuse trial set for March 7, adding pressure on the Catholic Church to reach an out-of-court settlement in mediation talks.
Allen Ruby, a lawyer for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oakland, argued Monday that a negligence claim filed by a former altar boy at St. Ignatius parish in Antioch wasn't a good test case to determine liability in scores of other Northern California lawsuits. Those suits were filed under a 2002 state law that temporarily lifted the statute of limitations on decades-old claims of priestly abuse.
But Judge Ronald Sabraw of Alameda County Superior Court Sabraw showed little interest in further delays in getting the Northern California abuse claims before a jury.
