The attorney for a former Passaic priest convicted of sex charges two
weeks ago asked a judge on Friday for a new trial, arguing that the jury

Lopez in state Superior Court in Paterson involved no irregularity that
warrants a new trial. Judge Sohail Mohammed said he will make a decision
next week.http://www.northjersey.com/news/attorney-for-former-passaic-priest-convicted-of-sex-charges-seeks-new-trial-1.1631191
