	Sex Abuse Victims Respond to Predator Priest's Appeal Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests May 30, 2008 http://snapnetwork.org/snap_statements/2008_statements/052808_boston_shanley_wants_new_trial.htm Everyone is of course entitled to his or her legal rights, but this maneuver will only cause more harm to those who've already been harmed by the crimes of Paul Shanley and the complicity of his Catholic supervisors. We grieve for Shanley's victims and for their families who have already suffered so much, so long and so severely. This is, of course, typical predator behavior: trying to exploit every imaginable legal technicality possible. We hope he doesn't succeed. Kids are safer when predators like Shanley are behind bars. (SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the nation's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We've been around for 17 years and have more than 8,000 members across the country. Despite the word "priest" in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers.
