 Recently, the filing to join a class action suit against the church closed at the end of May. Today's announcement follows the Catholic Church's closing of dozens of parishes in and around Baltimore. Some parishioners believe the closures are because of the pending sexual abuse payout. That press conference started at noon. Meanwhile, city police released their 2024 mid-year crime report. Police Commissioner Richard Worley spoke with C4 and Brian Neiman this morning prior to the release of the report, but he spoke about what he says the department needs.
