Finally, there’s somebody who can tell publicity hound Mitchell Garabedian where to get off. He’s a lawyer for some of the abuse plaintiffs, and he was ready to turn a Saturday meeting between ten abuse victims and Abp. O’Malley into a media circus.
The talks were to be held at a location not announced publicly, but attorney Garabedian, according to the Associated Press, invited journalists to come to the site where he would give briefings during breaks in the action.
Attorneys Carmen Durso and Roderick MacLeish Jr., on the other hand, representing two other groups of plaintiffs, didn’t like the idea of having to putting their clients through a media gauntlet to get into the building, so they asked Abp. O’Malley to postpone the session, and the meeting for Saturday is off.
