The lead detective in the case came forward to testify that he caught Gallagher telling many lies, and that Gallagher had even admitted to the detective that he had made up many of his stories. As a result of the detective coming forward, the D.A. let the schoolteacher who had been convicted of rape out of jail nearly a dozen years early.
It was too late, however, to help one of those accused priests, Father Charles Engelhardt, who had died in jail.
Of course, while the detective came forward to testify, and Danny Gallagher's credibility was going up in smoke, the Inquirer willfully ignored the logical implications, namely that an entire 2011 grand jury report written around the wild but not-yet investigated allegations of Gallagher, an indictment that sent three priests and a Catholic schoolteacher to jail, was not only wrong, but turned out to be a fraud perpetrated by willful prosecutorial misconduct, as testified to by the D.A.'s own lead detective!
On the day the D.A. let the schoolteacher out of jail, all the Inky's social justice warriors were busy, so the newspaper ran a brief AP story.
Now that's what you call objective reporting.
