It is not like we did not see this conviction coming. Rev. Francis Guinan’s defense was basically, fuck you, I’m a priest.
A jury convicted a Florida priest on Monday of stealing from his church, but the panel found that he embezzled far less than the $488,000 prosecutors charged.
The Rev. Francis Guinan, 66, was found guilty of second-degree grand theft of more than $20,000 but less than $100,000 after less than four hours of jury deliberations.
Guinan is 66, if he serves a 30 year sentence he will die in prison. It seems a high price to pay for a trip or two to Las Vegas. What was he thinking?
