Eddie Long Case May Be Heading To Trial

After months of closed-door litigation between Bishop Eddie L. Long and the four men who accused him of sexual misconduct, a settlement has yet to be reached and the case could soon be headed to trial later this year.

The two parties in the scandalous case were reportedly close to reaching a settlement back in April but for reasons unknown, this fell through.

Judge Jonny Panos, the presiding judge in the case, is now preparing for a trial that could start as early as August or September.

There was no reason given for the breakdown during mediation when things seemed to be close to finalized.

The neither side in the case has commented on the recent halt in progress.

Last September, Bishop Eddie L. Long, minister of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia GA, was accused by four former members of using his influence to lure them into sexual relations.

The four men filed lawsuits against Long and his youth academy.

The Bishop denies the claims.

Have this,and no legal trial will priced,KJV bible cc, John 4 ,12,
If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Do this and no legal court case will occur, 1 Corinthians 11:31,King James Bible
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

The wise will have no legal system for eddy Long to go to to have a trial,1 Corinthians 3:19 ,King James Bible
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

This is saying the legal system trying to harm Eddy Long or anyone is foolish because the legal system judge's others,and not yourself.
