There is/was A LOT of exculpatory evidence in the Anthony Cipolla Case which includes proof that the woman formerly known as Diane Thompson ... along with her eldest son ... outright lied ... and repeatedly lied. Before all else, you need to learn the following things.
More specifically, Cipolla was served with a Summary Notice to appear at a Probable Cause Hearing, on August 28, 1978. Yet the 1978 journalist described the Summary Notice as an indictment. The incompetent journalist of 1978 described it as an arrest.
No, the scheduled August 28th hearing was to see if there were due cause to file an indictment against Cipolla, in the first place. The hearing was to see if he was going to be arrested. No arrest transpired.
We adjourn to the 1978 Cipolla Case which ever-so-coincidentally occurred almost exactly after Diane Thompson asked Anthony Cipolla to get his pastor to pay Diane Thompson's monthly apartment rent, followed by the pastor saying to Cipolla that the parish wasn't a charity organization and couldn't afford to pay Diane Thompson's rent.
Now, it's important to note that, in the late 1970s, a white single mother faced significant danger when living in the HUD welfare projects. So, it would be expected to find a white single welfare mother vehemently trying to avoid living in the projects. So, such women would do what they could to get charity for living in other venues of housing. HUD project housing in the late 1970s was NOT safe housing:

In review, in order to prevent air-headed misunderstanding: The 1978 Cipolla Case lasted 34 days, and there was NO ARREST. There was only a scheduled PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING, and such hearings were designed to discern if whether or not there were cause to file charges in the first place.
The August 1978 hearing was cancelled an hour or so before it started, by Diane Thompson, herself. Plus, there were NOT two detectives assigned to the case. There was only one.
The 34 day time span is pivotal to note, because, in 1978, it took approximately 52 days for the results of a seminal fluid test to be issued by any lab. There was NO POSITIVE seminal fluid evidence involved in 1978 Cipolla case.
Diane Thompson told author, Randy Engel, that there was. No, there wasn't. There was no seminal fluid found on Tucker Thompson's clothing or body at all, according to the 2018 Grand Jury Report. Diane Thompson deliberately LIED, as usual. I cited a number Diane Thompson's easily provable lies, and there is a search box at the top right-hand of this page.
And remember, Cipolla was NEVER indicted for any type of molestation in any court, ever. This means that he was NEVER arrested. In fact, he was NOT tried at the Vatican for any of Tim Bendig's accusations which two District Attorney offices found to have ZERO corroborating witnesses and ZERO physical evidence.
I already explained how the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure operated, in this type of case. I even mentioned where, in Pittsburgh, a recently arrested defendant got arraigned, in 1978.
Randy Engel was apparently too lazy to learn the introductory basics of the PA Rules of Criminal Procedure, making her 2016 article a sick joke. Moreover, if you believed the contents of that article, then you are a moron in law, without doubt. In fact, if you did believe the contents of Engel's article as undeniable fact, then stay away from people selling Florida swamp land real estate.
Quick Review on 1993 Vatican Rehearing
The Vatican case was based on Wuerl dismissing Cipolla from ministry, because Wuerl received From St Luke's Institute, in Maryland, a diagnosis of Depression & Suicidal Tendencies for Cipolla. Ron Lengwin, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette's Ann Rodgers-Melnick, and Donald Wuerl dedicated their time deceiving America into thinking that the Vatican case dealt with molestation, when it did not.
Well, another professional institute diagnosed Cipolla as being mentally healthy, during the same time span. And of course, Cipolla had to pay the bill out of his pocket. None the less, Wuerl called the favorable diagnosis "scantily" and rejected it. Wuerl let humanity be deceived that the Vatican Case involved Bendig's accusations against Cipolla. It had nothing to do with that.
The other media reports, even those from the Diocese of Pittsburgh, were filled with SLEIGHT-OF-HAND semantic twists that presented the Cipolla case in a False Light. I've already covered that, too. But, I did so before the emergence of the friendly availability of the vast AI library.
In review of the Research of the Cipolla Case
For
the record, I was NEITHER a follower NOR a fan NOR an admirer of the
man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla. But, I did meet admirers
of him. They were fine. Plus, I was paid ZERO dollars and ZERO cents, for all of the
research that I did ... which I did, at my own expense. Thus, I had and
I have no conflict of interest in this case.
It's simply that this case, beginning with a box of documents, fell into my hands. Being
that the documentary evidence contradicted all that was claimed by the
Wuerl People and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, I automatically had the
task of doing extracurricular homework on the case ... at my own
uncompensated expense. After all, when defamation occurs,
restitution is required through whoever finds the exculpatory evidence which
defends the accused.
Now remember, one day in the 2010s, I received a phone call, where the voice on the other side said, "We're going to meet Anthony Cipolla today." My immediate response was, "Why do you want to waste your time on this case?" I later asked, "What makes you think he's innocent?"
The
bottom line is that I was not a brain-washed follower ... of anybody,
including Cipolla. Yet, until the 2010s, I trustingly believed all of
the defamatory reports about Cipolla published by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. However, I never read the Post Gazette anymore. I ignore it as absolutely worthless.
