Judge: Suit Vs. Scientology Can Proceed January 15, 2003,
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) _ A judge has ruled that a lawsuit filed against the Church of Scientology over the death of a member can go to trial.
The cause and manner of Scientologist Lisa McPherson's death in 1995 "is legitimately an issue that needs to be decided by a jury," Judge Susan Schaeffer said Monday.
But the judge said she found no proof to support the McPherson estate's allegation that the church's worldwide leader, David Miscavige, decided to let McPherson die.
