A lawyer has compiled a list of 2,600 Roman Catholic priests nationwide who have been accused of sexual misconduct against children and plans to post it online by early next year. Sylvia Demarest, a Dallas lawyer, and her staff spent 11 years on the list. It is believed to be the only database of national scope that identifies individual priests.
Police officer run over by partner
An Austin police officer died early Sunday after she got out of her patrol car to chase a suspect on foot and was run over by her partner. Officer Amy Donovan, 37, left the patrol car to question a “suspicious” man, who fled on foot. Her partner, Officer Adrian Valdovino, put the car in reverse to try to stop the man and the car struck Donovan, police said. The suspect escaped.
