Two Trials

Two trials began today. In New York Fr. Robert (Bob) Kondratick is accused of a wide range of serious ethical lapses during his tenure as the Chancellor of the Orthodox Church in America. In North Carolina the Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong is accused of multiple violations of the canon of ethics and potentially the civil rights of three young students from Duke University. The case has gained widespread publicity and there is something very close to a unanimous consensus that the lacrosse players were railroaded. Nifong's trial before the state bar is expected to last about 5 days. No time table has been projected for the Church Court. However it is unlikely to be a protracted case. Stay tuned.

Detailed reports on Nifongs trail can be found here.

Any news about the trial of Fr. Bob will probably be posted at the OCA website.
