lynch. allegedly in retaliation for the molestation for more than 30 years earlier. in court on wednesday a worker testified that she saw lynch punch lindner twice and heard lynch yell that lindner ruined the lives of him and his brother. last week the priest did testify on the stand, denying the sexual abuse but the judge ended up throwing out his testimony when the priest decided earlier this week to plead the fifth amendment. which protects people against self-incrimination. the team has tried to get the judge to declare a mistrial in part because they won't be able to confront lynch's accuser but the judge has refused all three requests. court was out of session yesterday, trial resumed today. again with will lynch likely taking the stand. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> new this morning the pair of fires in the south bay early this week have been ruled arson. both of those were in recycling
