NEW YORK – A Wisconsin judge on 10 January suspended a sexual assault case against Theodore McCarrick after a court-appointed psychologist found the ex-cardinal not competent to stand trial, possibly ending efforts to secure a criminal prosecution.
County Judge David Reddy didn’t dismiss the case outright, because, he said, the court doesn’t have that authority. The decision will be made by Walworth County District Attorney Zeke Wiedenfeld. For now, the case is scheduled for a review hearing on 27 Dec. 2024.
