Hours of testimony and legal jousting led to a quick conclusion
Wednesday afternoon when a judge ordered three Franciscan priests to
stand trial on charges of conspiracy and endangering the welfare of
children for their oversight of a sexually abusive friar.
Blair County District Judge Paula Aigner made the ruling without elaborating after a prosecutor argued that the three put hundreds of children in harm's way over nearly two decades by assigning the late Brother Stephen Baker to work among them.
