	US Judge Reserves Judgment on Irish Priest Extradition Galway News December 11, 2009 http://www.galwaynews.ie/10136-us-judge-reserves-judgment-irish-priest-extradition A US judge is reserving judgement on the extradition of an 81 year old Irish priest charged with sexually abusing a teenage boy in Donegal and Galway. Fr Francis Markey is accused of raping the alleged victim during a pilgrimage to Lough Derg and again after the funeral of the boy's father in Galway in 1968. At yesterday's hearing, his defence lawyers argued a case of mistaken identity. They also said a change in Irish law abolished the crime with which Fr Markey is charged. The judge will make his decision at the end of the month.
