About this sermon

There are new developments in the national security trial against Catholic Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong. His attorneys say when the case resumes, the former media mogul will take the stand in his defense. But the case has been delayed until November. The decision comes after a judge says that the 76 year old is allowed to present his defense. But Lai is in poor health and his lawyers are not sure whether he will be able to testify when the trial resumes November 20th. Lai is facing charges under China's stringent national security law. If convicted, he faces life in prison. One of the attorneys representing Jimmy Lai, Mark Simon, joins to tell us how Lai is doing. He shares about the ruling today. The judge says Lai will be able to testify, albeit not until November. Simon shares whether this was a surprise. He discusses whether there was any reason given for putting the case on hold until November. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
