Show Notes
Settlement talks between the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oakland and abuse survivors stall, with a $90 million gap. Survivors seek $314 million, while the diocese offers $224 million. Disagreements persist over insurance money, a compliance monitor, and the duration of child safety reforms. The diocese filed for bankruptcy, but six cases proceed to trial, including one involving former priest Stephen Kiesle. Both sides face a narrow window to reach an agreement before the trial, or risk unpredictable jury verdicts.
