The child abuse laws in Massachusetts were very weak at the time the crimes were committed, which makes it very difficult, if not impossible to indict Law.

"I am not surprised there are no indictments because of the way the laws were written," Bergeron said. "But it's unfortunate that, for all intents and purposes, men who agreed to sanction the abuse of children throughout the years cannot be indicted.

Reilly said in April that it would be difficult to indict church supervisors for allowing abusive priests to remain in parish work because of weak child protection laws in Massachusetts when the abuse took place. Reilly came to the same conclusion after the grand jury investigation, according to the report."

Indictment or no indictment doesn't mean a damn thing. Law confessed, in grand jury testimony, to covering up child abuse in his parishes. THAT'S what counts.
