A procedural error?

I've been told that the bishop of CNY sent a letter to the clergy about the deposed and arrested Ralph Johnson and couldn't help adding a few items about Fr. David Bollinger. In the letter Adams made a point about Fr. Bollinger not being exonerated by the ecclesiastical court of the diocese. Adams states that the case was dismissed because of a "procedural error." Let's examine this procedural error.

The so-called procedural error was the unwillingness of the bishop and his counsel to release to Fr. Bollinger the Shafer Report as instructed to do so by the ecclesiastical court. So, withholding evidence is a procedural error? I'm not a lawyer, but I'd think a better description might be an attempted obstruction of justice by the bishop and his lawyer. The court rightly ruled against the bishop because the bishop wasn't willing to abide by the court's ruling. Procedural error? More like a deliberate refusal to give due process to Fr. David Bollinger. The bishop compounds this lack of justice for Fr. Bollinger by continuing to pretend that he was doing the right thing in all this. Let's be clear - Skip isn't even on the right planet when it comes to doing the right thing in any of this with Fr. Bollinger or Ralph Johnson.
