"In his succinct but powerful closing comments
the Defense Lawyer asked the jury to consider
how would the complainant have known the layout
of the priest's sacristy, and that there were wooden
panels, a storage cupboard, a kitchenette and
sacramental wine in there?"
That is a perfect example of misleading information, I've been in literally hundreds of Catholic Churchs around the world and never saw one in which the Sacristy was not frequented by altar boys, teachers, parents and anybody else who wanted to see the priest when he was in there, not to mention the cleaning staff and the devoted ladies who usually look after arranging the flowers.
Then there are all the weddings when those immediately concerned retire to the sacristy to finalize the paperwork.
The Sacristy is not 'the holy of holies'.
My answer to the lawyer would be because the witness walked in there and had a look.
