OTTAWA — Roman Catholic Bishop Raymond Lahey is set to face trial May 4-6 on child pornography charges.
The trial was originally scheduled to begin in late April and run into May, but that was changed Friday during a court hearing.
Lahey's lawyer, Michael Edelson, told the judge he won't need as many days as first thought.
Lahey, 70, was not in court.
The former head of the diocese in Antigonish, N.S., was charged in September 2009 with possessing and importing child pornography. He was arrested after border agents searched his laptop at Ottawa airport as he arrived from Britain.
Police say they found hundreds of files and dozens of videos on Lahey's laptop, many of them showing young males engaged in sex acts.

I feel that if certain organs were in demand, less effort would be made to revive people. Am I being silly? Not really. I had a bad experience in hospital when my heart stopped, the doctors tried to revive me and failed. They stopped and said I was gone. I came around on my own when the nurse was giving a final BP reading of 'zero'. I heard her declare me dead! It was all I could do to shake my head but they never caught on til I was able to open my eyes. You should have seen them scramble then! I thought the nurse was going to faint. The thing is, I think we may write people off too soon when there is something of value to be gained from them.
