South Philadelphia Shooting, Made In America Made A Mess, Clergy Abuse Case Delayed

Police are investigating a homicide that left a man dead in the Bella Vista section of South Philadelphia Tuesday morning. The shooting took place near 12th and Bainbridge Streets. The victim, a 24 year old man, was found in the middle of the street with a gunshot wound to the head. Neighbors say the victim is from the neighborhood.

The party's over now the clean-up really begins. As stages and equipment from the Made in America music festival are packed up, the open areas around the Art Museum have taken a beating. There is a lot of mud there, not so much from all the people, but from deep tire tracks dug into what was grass, from all the equipment used to break down the stage and tents. The city and concert promoters have said theyâ€™ll split expenses, though specifics havenâ€™t been released.

The second part of the landmark clergy abuse case was scheduled to begin today with the trial of two men, a priest and a lay teacher, charged with sexually assaulting the same young boy when he was in 5th and 6th grade. But, the trial has been delayed indefinitely, because one of the defense attorneys suffered a death in the family and will be unavailable for several days. The case will be assigned to a new judge and may be delayed by weeks or even months.
