Testimony of Former Vicar General Father Peter Laird Released Publicly
Deposition Raises More Questions Surrounding Truth and Accountability in the Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis
(St. Paul, MN) – The sworn testimony of the Archdiocese’s former Vicar General Father Peter Laird has been publicly released by attorneys as a part of a civil lawsuit filed in 2013 in Ramsey County; Doe 1 vs. the Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis, Diocese of Winona and Father Thomas Adamson.
“Father Laird’s deposition raises serious questions about Archbishop Nienstedt’s testimony and whether or not Nienstedt was telling the truth,” said Mike Finnegan, one of Doe 1’s attorneys. “What Doe 1 and other survivors want is the truth, which they deserve.”
