HUDSON, Wis. (AP) - A judge ruled Monday that a Roman Catholic priest who hanged himself in December almost certainly killed two people at a funeral home more than three years ago.
Circuit Judge Eric Lundell's finding came in the case of the Rev. Ryan Erickson, who committed suicide after being questioned by police about the 2002 slayings.
"I conclude that Ryan Erickson probably committed the crimes in question," Lundell said at the end of a daylong hearing. "On a scale of one to 10, I would consider it a 10. It is a very strong case of circumstantial evidence."
