Ex-Priest Killed in PrisonJohn Geoghan, accused of molestation by more than 130 people, was apparently strangled to death by another prisoner who was serving life sentence for murder, district attorney says
Here we have our failed system - a system of laws, of rules, designed to ensure that order and reason, not blind passions, rule our lives. And yet, in prison, this notion has been suspended time and again. Like here, where - as too often happens - convicted murderers see themselves fit to pronounce their sentences upon others and guards shrink back, snigger, etc. When we can send a priest to prison for such crimes as Geoghan's and know that his ordeal will be his sentence, we'll have made some progress.
