Someone has asked for a Richard Joseph update.

He's the Southeast Delco educator who is on trial in the district for his job. There was another hearing last night, at which he finally got to testify.

I just got finished writing about him for my print column for tomorrow.

Here's a taste:

While the Phillies and the Rays were sloshing through the mud at Citizens Bank Park Monday night another sort of dirty game was being played in Southeast Delco.

Educator Rich Joseph was on trial for the potentially career-ending crime of "inappropriately touching" two students.

Last night, before another sad performance by one of his accusers, an 8th grader whose story has changed so many times you need a program to keep up with them, Superintendent Trudy Bennett incredibly tried to add an additional charge to the list against Joseph.

What that charge is remains unclear because it was presented in a sealed envelope by Mike Levin, the attorney serving as Superintendent Trudie Bennett's prosecutor in the case.

But district Solicitor Bob DiOrio, who is playing the part of hearing judge, denied Bennett's and Levin's attempt to have the new charge considered by a jury of school board members.

It's a simple matter of "fairness," said DiOrio.

It was nice to see some concern for that quaint concept here in Southeast Delco.

Read the rest tomorrow.
