I mean, seriously... he now claims he had sex with a random stranger he picked up at the bar, just two days after proposing. And he calls that woman a “wan” in court, in spite of the obvious effect that’ll have on the jury. And she still wants to marry him. Hardly indicative of emotional health.
I'm not saying otherwise. (There are women over here who are married to convicted murderers...and got married as the result of being pen-pals after the killers were convicted, for goodness sakes)
But that piece, combined with the other pieces (I mean, shoot, the priest involved with the case...who gave a character witness and then shook the dude's hand after he was sentenced (at the cost of his job, btw) was personally vouched for by a fellow Catholic FReeper, for goodness sakes) means that there are some discrepancies that don't add up for me.
I'm not saying that Danny Boy was innocent...I'm just saying that, based upon everything I've read up on the case, I'm not 150% certain that it's exactly the way the prosecution said it was.
