WORCESTER -- The attorney representing the inmate charged with killing defrocked pedophile priest John Geoghan played a tape in court Thursday, showing prison guards pulling the murder suspect from the victim's cell after the beating death.
Joseph Druce is charged with murder in connection to the Aug. 23, 2003 killing.
The clips, taken from surveillance cameras inside the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center, show the guards pull Druce on the ground from Geoghan's cell, face first.
On the tape, the guards strap Druce's hands behind his back, then four of them escort him to another area inside the prison.
Druce's attorney, John LaChance, played the tape at Worcester Superior Court Thursday.
