Vatican prosecutor seeks three-year jail term for papal butler




 The prosecution in the trial of Pope Benedict's former butler on Saturday asked for a guilty verdict and a sentence of three years in jail.

The defence, for its part, asked the court to reduce the charges against Paolo Gabriele from "aggravated theft" to "misappropriation" and for him to be freed.

In his final appeal, Gabriele told the court in an impassive voice he acted exclusively out of deep, "visceral" love for the Roman Catholic Church and the pope he once served.

  1. Some criminals do not like the fact of having their jail public records released to the public, well that's just too bad for them. The fact that we have access to these public records have saved lives and put repeat criminals back in jail where they belong.
