"Wisconsin Court Suspends Case Against Disgraced Cardinal McCarrick"
TL;DR
A Wisconsin judge has suspended the sexual assault case against former cardinal Theodore McCarrick after a psychologist found him incompetent to stand trial. This decision effectively ends the case in Wisconsin, following a similar dismissal of charges in Massachusetts due to McCarrick's dementia. Despite facing allegations of sexual abuse, including one in Wisconsin, most U.S. allegations against McCarrick have fallen beyond state statutes of limitation, preventing his prosecution in state courts.
