Read the entire document at Leagle filed by California Court of Appeals 2nd District yesterday.
Patient privilege does not apply to documents dealing with coverup of sex abuse or information critical to public safety of children, agrees the 2nd district court, denying the Catholic Church's appeal argument that communications between the brothers and psychiatrists about perpetrator priests were protected by patient privelege. The cases settled in 2006.
