Bishop Eddie Long Has First Day in Court
Bishop Eddie Long is looking to settle these sexual abuse allegations once and for all...out of court. The first hearing in the trial against Long, pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, was held in Atlanta on Friday, and during the proceedings Bishop Long denied ever having sexual relations with any of the four men who have made allegations against him. However, attorneys for Long as well as the four accusers say they are hoping to settle the case out of court.
“The number one thing is we are ready to move forward in this case,” said B.J. Bernstein, the lawyer for the young men.
