A judge has split an upcoming clergy sex abuse trial against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and the Diocese of Winona into two separate phases.
The head of the Archdiocese of St. Louis said under oath that he couldn't recall details about how he handled allegations of abuse against a Minnesota priest years ago.
The Minnesota Appeals Court is reversing a sexual misconduct conviction and ordering a new trial for a St. Paul priest accused of having sex with a woman seeking spiritual advice.
