CHEAP: Long case close to being settled!

Looks like the Bishop Eddie Long drama will end in a whimper. Long,  the head of Atlanta’s New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, was charged by four different young men of giving them trips and expensive gifts for sex (oh, so that’s how you do it).As reported by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Judge Johnny Panos met with reporters and said an agreement was within “field goal range.” If meditation fails, the case goes to trial this summer.


If Long’s lawyer’s are smart, notes 365Gay.com, they will settle, have their client move on, and suggest a good therapist. The last thing the minister needs is to sit in open court with Maurice Robinson, Jamal Parris, Anthony Flagg and Spencer LeGrande, his accusers. Even if you assume Long is completely innocent of the charges, a fair assumption, his brand will be tarnished even more when salacious details of alleged gay sex are made part of the official record. Apparently ever since this story first hit, attendance and donations at New Birth are down. The church staff has been cut and employees pay was decreased.
