"McCarrick's Sexual Assault Case Suspended Due to Incompetence"
Theodore McCarrick, the former cardinal facing sex abuse charges, has been ruled not competent to stand trial in Wisconsin. The judge did not dismiss the case outright, leaving the decision to the district attorney. At 93 and reportedly suffering from dementia, it is unlikely that McCarrick will become competent within the statutory time frame for the case to proceed. This ruling follows a similar decision in Massachusetts, disappointing victims and their supporters who sought criminal consequences for McCarrick.
