BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) -

The attorney for the man accused of beating a Catholic priest believes you have not heard the whole story.

Calvin Payne is charged with attempted murder following the fight which took place a week ago. Payne's attorney, Greg Case, is asking the public not to jump the gun on conclusions, because all the facts are not known yet. For example, Case says the public does not know who attacked first. Mr. Case also says Payne did not run from the scene, but talked to police and was told to go home.

He also tells us Father Isi was in an improper relationship with Payne's wife saying, "that in no way proves Mr. Payne intended what he's been charged with, no more than being a priest proves perfect behavior or a lack of aggression by Father Isi."
