Listecki says justice was done in Donkor-Baine case

The woman did not come off as credible, Elvin said, and contradicted herself during testimony.

"I think she is a broken woman who has been broken by her husband, by her divorce," the West Salem juror said.

The woman did report the incident in September to the Diocese of La Crosse, but it found no evidence to support her claim.

"We have processes in place in the church and in the civil system to ensure that justice is done. It seems that was the case in this instance," said Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki, who was bishop in La Crosse when the woman reported the incident.

The La Crosse Diocese released a statement late Wednesday: "We are happy and grateful that this matter has been appropriately addressed and brought to closure through the criminal justice system.

"The unanimous verdict of ‘not guilty' ... is consistent with the judgement of the Diocese than Father Edmund Donkor-Baine was innocent of the charges."
