Priest has ‘no regrets’ over role at Foley trial

A PRIEST was yesterday unapologetic about giving character evidence on behalf of a convicted sex offender.

Fr Sean Sheehy also said he did not accept the unanimous verdict of a jury that found Danny Foley guilty of sexually assaulting a 24-year-old woman in Listowel, Co Kerry, on June 15, 2008.

He felt there could have been a miscarriage of justice, adding juries had also been known to convict innocent people.
