EDINBURG – A former McAllen priest accused in a decades-old murder made a court appearance Monday morning.
John Feit was arrested for the murder of Irene Garza last year in Phoenix, Arizona.
Feit walked into court Monday using his walker and shook hands with people on his way to his seat. When his counsel asked him how he was feeling, Feit replied that he felt great.
The 92nd District judge, Luis Singleterry, set Feit’s trial date for April 24.
In April 1960, Garza was going to confession at Sacred Heart Church the night before Easter Sunday. Feit heard her confession, but what happened after that was unknown.
