Irishman’s US manslaughter charge ‘vindictive’
William Monaghan, who has been in a San Francisco jail since his arrest nine months ago, was acquitted of murder two weeks ago and had been hoping for a deal that would allow him to return home.
But after defence and prosecutors met a number of times, the San Francisco District Attorney’s office announced no deal had been reached and that 27-year-old Mr Monaghan will face manslaughter charges next month.
