And This Is A Perfect Example.....
of the stupiditey of the media, the justice system, and bureaucrats (both secular and religious):

Take a look at some of these quotes:
Quote
The decision also leaves undetermined the case of the late Rev. William J. Cummings. Edwards had accused Cummings of raping him in a New York hotel room during a parish youth group trip to New York in 1982. Cummings had not yet been assigned to the Newton parish. And several adults and teenage contemporaries of Edwards have said that they do not believe such an assault took place because the annual trip to New York was a day trip, with no overnight stay.
Quote
Less than a week later, the Globe reported that childhood friends of Edwards had evidence to refute the charges, and they raised instances in which they said Edwards had made other false claims, including an assertion that he had played a role in the 1975 hit movie ''Jaws.''

This Edwards guy's a nutcase, and they're still going after the priests on his word. Are people stupid, or is it just me?

Life gets a lot easier if you realize this pretty much sums up everything there is to say about much of anything.

The problem here being everyone thinks (most people here that is) that since they're intelligent everyone else should be the same... unfortunately you're all "special" :p
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

While there is definately an imbalance in the current justice system, allowing the lives of innocent men to be ruined, such a serious accusation cannot be dismissed out of hand simply because the boy has a history of lying.  :sigh:

The guy claimed something happened in a situation that didn't exist. Not to mention that because of the way he dumped his lawsuit, he is technically unable to bring it back to court.
