Marty Baron
Did everyone read Eileen McNamara's column this weekend?
Boston Globe Worker
That's the Geoghan case?
Marty Baron
Yeah, what's the follow on that?
Ben Bradlee Jr.
It-It's a column, what kind of follow are you thinking?
Marty Baron
Uh... well apparently this priest molested kids in 6 different parishes over the last 30 years and the attorney for the victims, a Mr...
Eileen McNamara
Garabedian
Marty Baron
Thanks Eileen, Mr Garabedian says Cardinal Law found out about it 15 years ago and did nothing.
Paul Burke
Yeah, I think that attorney is a bit of a crank, and The Church dismissed the claim.
Eileen McNamara
He-said she-said.
Marty Baron
Whether Mr Garabedian is a crank or not, he says he has documents that prove that Cardinal knew.
Ben Bradlee Jr.
As I understand that those documents are under seal.
Marty Baron
Okay, but the fact remains a Boston priest abused 80 kids, we have a lawyer who says he can prove Law knew about it and we've written all of... uh... 2 stories in the last 6 months. This strikes me as an essential story to a local paper, I think the very least we have to go through those documents.
Paul Burke
How would you like to do that?
Marty Baron
Oh uh, I don't know what the laws are here, but in Florida we would go to court.
Ben Bradlee Jr.
You wanna sue the Church?
Marty Baron
Technically we wouldn't sue the Church, we'd file a motion to lift the seal on the documents.
Ben Bradlee Jr.
The Church will read that as us suing them. So will everybody else.
Marty Baron
Good to know.
