Beginning in 1989, several men alleged that Bishop Joseph Hart sexually abused them years earlier when he was a priest in Kansas City and they were boys.
Natrona County District Attorney Mike Blonigen said supposedly adverse publicity did not affect the outcome of the first sexual assault trial of Tony Cercy.
Natrona County District Attorney Mike Blonigen said neither Tony Cercy nor his attorneys can presume from the mistrial that the prosecution has no case for a retrial.
