Episode Details

Michigan’s Court of Appeals upheld the conviction of former priest Neil Kalina, who was sentenced to seven to fifteen years for assaulting a 14-year-old in 1984 — a case that took decades to come to trial. Despite appeals claiming judicial bias, the court affirmed the sentence, which includes lifetime sex offender registration. Attorney General Dana Nessel praised the ruling as justice for the survivor, highlighting her office’s broader investigation into clergy abuse — one that led to charges against eleven clergy members. The case underscores how long it can take to hold abusers accountable — but also that the system still delivers consequences when the law is followed.
