A Wayne County Circuit Court jury has found Catholic priest Timothy Kane guilty today on all counts in the embezzlement case against him.
Come back to Freep.com for updates in this developing story.
Taking the stand in his own defense, Kane testified today that he did not steal money from the Angel Fund charity, and that diabetic low blood sugar caused him to be confused and wrongly sign a confession he gave police.
Kane, 58, also denied having a “relationship,” described in the police statement as sexual, with a prison inmate whom prosecutors contend was Kane’s partner in establishing a scheme to make fraudulent requests for charity money from the Angel Fund. Kane also testified that he received no kickbacks from people who received Angel Fund grants.
