MORRISTOWN, N.J. – April 20, 2012 (WPVI) — A former church janitor has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after being convicted of killing a New Jersey priest.
Jose Feliciano didn’t deny stabbing the Rev. Edward Hinds to death in the rectory of St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church in Chatham in 2009.
Feliciano, who testified during his trial, was unable to persuade a jury he had killed Hinds in a fit of rage over sexual blackmail.
Feliciano, of Easton, Pa., was sentenced Friday in state superior court in Morristown.
