Villetto, we can convict Krolinsky 516 00:29:36,536 --> 00:29:39,016 even though the church never intended to conspire with him, 517 00:29:39,071 --> 00:29:40,482 nor commit the underlying crime. 518 00:29:40,540 --> 00:29:41,610 That's very slick. 519 00:29:42,141 --> 00:29:45,122 But you still need an overt act by the co-conspirator. 520 00:29:45,177 --> 00:29:47,214 The church played a shell game with Krolinsky. 521 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,193 They foisted him on one unsuspecting parish after another. 522 00:29:50,383 --> 00:29:52,989 Adam, this isn't an indictment of the church. 523 00:29:53,052 --> 00:29:55,726 It wasn't a priest who did this, it was a pedophile. 524 00:29:56,756 --> 00:29:59,737 If we want to get him, this is the only way. 525 00:29:59,792 --> 00:30:02,601 All right.
