John Henry Westen has his day in court!

The prosecution had their day with the leaked audio of the LifeSiteNews board meeting. Numerous accusations (without proof) were leveled against John Henry Westen by several board members. Many who listened to the leaked audio jumped on the bandwagon, finding him guilty after listening to only one side of the story. A lawyer who reviewed the audio urged caution and pointed out that the leaked audio was like a courtroom where only the prosecution was allowed to present its case.

I've known Maike Hickson for years. She's been a huge grace to LifeSite News with her interviews and her excellent articles. That she has chosen to resign in solidarity with John-Henry Westen is a significant blow to the organization in my opinion. Her action also highlights the loss of credibility surrounding the announcement and the subsequent spin by Jalsevac about the reasons.

The Latest from the LifeSite News Soap Opera

John-Henry Westen and Stev Jalsevac

The new head of LifeSite News is its co-founder Steve Jalsevac who sent out the message below. Is this the whole story? I doubt it and I suspect there are other issues. I was once involved with a contentious fight over who would run a pro-life organization. We ended up in arbitration. The primary issue had nothing to do with the focus of the organization. It was management style and personality conflicts. I'm wondering how much of that played into Westen's firing.
