Class action sought in orphanage lawsuit - Sisters of Charity oppose request 7/23/05 By Gregory A. Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Courier-Journal "Class-action status is being sought for a lawsuit filed by about 50 people who allege they were abused as children while living at Roman Catholic orphanages in Jefferson County. In a filing in Jefferson Circuit Court, attorney William McMurry said he's seeking to expand the suit because he and his plaintiffs believe there are at least several hundred other victims. Judge Denise Clayton will consider the request at a hearing Monday. A class-action designation would allow victims to make a claim without being publicly identified, as they would be if they filed their own suit. It also would lead to advertising that would notify former orphanage residents -- who may live across the country and not know of the litigation -- of their rights, McMurry said. McMurry, working with attorney Ann Oldfather, represented 243 plaintiffs who settled with the Archdiocese of Louisville for $25.7 million in 2003 over sexual abuse by parish priests and others." http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050723/NEWS01/507230420/1008#top
$5m award ordered in sex abuse suit Daniel Tepfer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/22/05 "Bridgeport - A Superior Court jury on Thursday awarded $5 million to a former city man who claimed to have been sexually abused by a landscaper at St. Theresa's Church in Trumbull more than 30 years ago. Michael Powel, 47, broke into tears and hugged his lawyer, Helen McGonigle, as Judge Edward F. Stodolink read the verdict. But the award against landscaper Carlo Fabbozzi may end up being only a moral victory. Fabbozzi, 78, ....did not appear for the trial. The defense table was noticeably empty as McGonigle presented her case to the jury." http://www.connpost.com/archives/ci_2881647

White House Aims to Block Legislation on Detainees
By Josh White and R. Jeffrey Smith
The Washington Post
Saturday 23 July 2005
The Bush administration in recent days has been lobbying to block legislation supported by Republican senators that would bar the US military from engaging in "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" of detainees, from hiding prisoners from the Red Cross, and from using interrogation methods not authorized by a new Army field manual. Vice President Cheney met Thursday evening with three senior Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee to press the administration's case that legislation on these matters would usurp the president's authority and - in the words of a White House official - interfere with his ability "to protect Americans effectively from terrorist attack."
