Defense attorney says Trial of priest shows weakness
In Wilmington Delaware defense lawyer Dennis Spivack argues the Pagano priest robbery case exposes flaws in criminal justice. He notes a 40 percent chance of conviction before Ronald Clouser admitted guilt in related holdups, causing Pagano to face possible retrial if new evidence emerges. The case centers on seven witnesses who identified Pagano as the gunman. Clouser’s confession led to dropped charges against Pagano and a pre-sentence review for Clouser.
