	New Witness Emerges in Priest Murder By Peggy Wright Daily Record October 18, 2011 http://www.bishop-accountability.org/AbuseTracker/New%20witness%20emerges%20in%20priest%20murder Morris County prosecutors disclosed Monday that murder suspect Jose Feliciano was counseled by a nun who they may try to call as a witness at the custodian’s trial on charges of stabbing the Rev. Edward Hinds in Chatham two years ago. The emergence of the potential new witness pushed final jury selection to Wednesday. Superior Court Judge Thomas V. Manahan, sitting in Morristown, said he would conduct a pre-trial hearing this afternoon at which the Catholic nun, affiliated with the Sisters of Charity, is expected to testify about her professional or spiritual relationship with Feliciano. Before prosecutors could use the nun as a witness, the judge has to determine the exact nature of the nun’s connection with Feliciano and whether their communications fall into a privileged, confidential category and cannot be revealed.
