Convicted Ex-Priest Murdered in Prison

Prosecutor: Inmate considered Geoghan 'a prize'

Two probes into prison killing planned, he says

The inmate accused of strangling defrocked Catholic priest John Geoghan in prison Saturday considered him "a prize" and plotted his move for more than a month, the prosecutor handling the case said Monday.

State officials said they would conduct two investigations into the killing.

One investigation will look into the circumstances surrounding Geoghan's death, Worcester District Attorney John Conte said. Another probe by an independent panel appointed by Gov. Mitt Romney will focus on whether prison procedures and staffing should be changed.

Prison Murdered Ex-Priest Convicted

It is kind if weird how prison has a different system, it is ok to kill someone but people who do bad things usually get killed by other prisoners. Are they right? It is so sad all of the crime and disgusting things we have in this world. Kids can't even trust their church leader anymore? At times it is depressing to watch the news.
