SAN JOSE, Calif. —
After more than three days of deliberations, a jury has reached a verdict in the case of a man charged with beating a priest he claimed molested him as a youth.
The verdict was expected to be read in San Clara County Superior Court around 2:30 p.m.
William Lynch testified last Friday that he punched the priest after memories of the alleged sexual abuse came flooding back across the decades and were so vivid that he felt threatened.
