For anyone who cares, lawyers met at a DeKalb County courtroom Friday to plot the next steps in the gay sexual allegations against megachurch Bishop Eddie Long. According to
WSB-TV, a judge tentatively set a trial date for July 7, while a mediation session was scheduled for February. You will recall four black men -- Spencer LeGrande, Maurice Robinson, Jamal Parris and Anthony Flagg -- filed lawsuits against Long, accusing him of coercing them into having sexual relationships with him while they were teens at his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.

Lawyers from both sides said they will be calling up experts, according to WSB-TV. It wasn’t decided whether the different cases will be tried separately or if they will be tried together. No matter how you view this, any trial promises to be shocking and embarrassing. I hope cameras will be allowed in the courtroom, if it really goes to trial.
