(ME: NO THEY DIDN'T THE CHURCH ATTORNEYS PUT UP OBSTRUCTIONS AT EVERY TURN!!!
IT’S THE MAD HATTER IN COURT AGAIN: NOTHING IS TRUE OR REALLY REAL JUST SAY THE RIGHT THING AND MOVE ON)
BOUCHER: Five years ago last week Gray Davis signed into law this opportunity for people to have justice.
(ALL THE PLAINTIFFS STAND UP, A WOMAN BREAKS OUT IN TEARS)
BOUCHER ASKS FOR A MOMENT OF SILENCE ON BEHALF OF VICTIMS WHO DIED BEFORE GETTING TO THIS POINT
. . . .
BOUCHER: We wouldn't be here today without Peter Lichtman who years ago took on this case. He is a tremendous bright light for this court system and the victims wouldn't be here without his efforts. Jeff McCoy when we first went to him said Why me? This changed his life.
BOUCHER: [TEARFUL] His kindness his gentleness his wisdom. . .I don't know how to tell the court how many times in the last weeks this settlement was dead.
B: With yarn and string and glue he kept it together [TEARFUL]
B: I’m usually very critical of insurance companies but I do want to acknowledge that ???
B: Most of the victims will not forgive the cardinal but I’ve seen him as he’s met with many clients and began to try to start the healing process. He took steps that I think he could only take and went to Rome several times in the last weeks to get ready to settle these cases. It was his decision to tell the church and lawyers to follow his guidance and his lead and as a result of that we were able to settle these case.
B: I hope that given his contact with clients he’ll become a leader in the world to prevent child abuse.
B: I acknowledge Tony DeMarco everyone owes him gratitude, everyone, the lawyers, the clients. My fellow lawyers (almost totally in tears) I think you --
HENNIGAN: I don't think Mr. Boucher meant to say our meeting persuaded me to settle these cases. We were trying to settle these cases since before the law was passed more than five years ago. It’s been a pleasure at times, frustrating at times, but I’ve always seen the talent of Ray Boucher
(Boucher is going around the room hugging and kissing people)
H: I will say I thank Mr. Boucher for his kind words about the cardinal. He visited extensively with over 70 victims and it changed us all, changed our perspective on what happened here.
