PHILADELPHIA –
Two big verdicts were handed down by two different juries on Friday, including the conviction of Jerry Sandusky and the conviction of Monsignor William Lynn.
But the jury in the Philadelphia church sex abuse trial could not agree on the charges against Father James Brennan, which resulted in a mistrial.
Joining “Good Day” Monday was Issa Logan, the jury foreman on that case.
The jurors come to agreement on the charges against Brennan, who was accused of trying to rape a teenager, “because the evidence didn’t allow us to actually believe – or all of us to believe – that he actually raped a child,” Logan said.
The accuser testified during the trial, but Logan said some of the jurors had problems with discrepancies in the evidence, adding that “the story didn’t stay as consistent as we needed it to be in order to make a decision.”
