Trial Set For Catholic Priest


{Louisville, Kentucky}…Rev. James Schook, a Louisville Catholic priest with terminal cancer, is scheduled to go on trial June 24, 2013 to face charges he sexually abused two boys in the 1970s. Schook, who faces seven counts of sodomy, was indicted in June 2011. Attorneys had delayed the trial in May because doctors said there was a possibility Schook may not live to the end of this year. Jefferson County Commonwealth's Attorney John Balliet said Monday that he had spoken with a doctor who said it's possible Schook could live for several more years.
