(1/21/2006)
A Chicago priest accused of sexually abusing several West Side youngsters is apparently ready to at least talk about a guilty plea.
Father Daniel McCormack is due in court for a status hearing Wednesday. At that hearing, a source tells CBS 2, his attorney and prosecutors are expected to ask a judge to allow them to begin those talks.
Plea bargaining raises the possibility of a guilty plea, but it doesn't guarantee it.
Cardinal George has said he would prefer an outcome that would spare the priest's alleged victims from having to testify in court.
