CWN Editor's Note: Citing “lamentable violations,” the presiding judge in a Vatican financial-misconduct trial has ordered the prosecution to share evidence with the defense.

The court also repeated a demand that prosecutors furnish a videotape of testimony by a key witness, rejecting the claim that the testimony was confidential.

However the court declined a surprise offer from the prosecutor to re-open investigation, and set a court date of November 17 for the next hearing of the case.
