The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMike bursts into the Spotlight office with letters that should end the argument: Cardinal Law knew about Geoghan for years. A mother of seven abused boys was told to keep silent. An auxiliary bishop even warned that the priest should be pulled back to weekend work. Mike wants the story upstairs tonight. Robby says no — this is Law covering for one priest, and Baron asked for the system. The fight is about when proof is enough.
