Letter from SNAP to Bishop Schnurr

SNAP_Statement , "Trial_vs_Accused_predator_priest_dismissed:_SNAP_Responds", 08-30-2010.

SNAP blasts WV bishop
 He lets accused predator priest do letter to parishioners
 
Statement by  Barbara Dorris, SNAP Outreach Director 314 503 0003 cell, snapdorris@gmail.com
 
We're shocked and angry that Wheeling's Catholic bishop let one of his priests read a letter from an accused child molesting cleric to parishioners last Sunday.

Let's be clear: this alleged predator, Fr. Robert F. Poandl, was not 'cleared.' A judge determined that the defense lawyers hadn't gotten all of the documents they should have gotten before trial. That's all. There has been no determination of guilt or innocence.
 
And prosecutors can appeal the judge's ruling. Poandle may yet face criminal charges.
 
It's worth noting that the accused offender's supervisors are not declaring Poandl innocent.
 
Wheeling's bishop should be ashamed of himself. His callous and reckless move may well have deterred another victim, witness or whistleblower from speaking up and getting help.
 
He took a needless and possibly hurtful risk, just so an accused child molester could 'spin' a court ruling on a legal technicality.
