Posted on July 17, 2014 by Kendall Harmon

    A.S. Haley’s take on this at SF is well worth reading:

    Quite significant testimony, I’d say.
    Praying for much grace and peace upon all in the Diocese of SC.

    As my hubby said, ECSC has enough spin in their “press release” to spin clothes dry! LOL…. quite true. Mr. Haley’s comments are definitely worth reading. It seems ECSC did not like what their expert witness said under cross-examination. They were so stunned that there was no further testimony by Mr. McWlliams and there were no other witnesses yesterday.
