As I understand the matter, although charges were either pending or about to be placed against him, Mr. Shepherd left for the CRC and was not tried on the charges. |
I'm going from memory from O. Palmer Robertsons account in his book about what happened. I'll double check when I get home. I believe that when Shepherd was acquited, charges were going to be refiled or new charges were going to be filed with his Presbytery. Before any new proceeding could be started, Shepherd moved to the CRC.
