Firefighter From Ireland Found Guilty of St. Patrick's Day Rape in Boston
Jury deliberates in the second trial of Terence Crosbie, with the first trial ending in a mistrial after four days of deadlocked jury deliberations.
- After opening statements and testimony, the jury started deliberating Wednesday afternoon and continued Thursday morning in the retrial of Terence Crosbie, 39, Dublin Fire Brigade member, for one count of rape tied to the Omni Parker House hotel, Boston on March 15, 2024.
- His first trial in June ended in a mistrial after the jury deadlocked following days of deliberations and testimony, and Crosbie was visiting Boston with the Dublin Fire Brigade to march in St Patrick's Day events.
- The alleged victim testified she awoke at 2 a.m. to a man raping her, escaped, and hospital testing and hotel security footage supported her account while DNA analysts at Bodie Technology could not confirm Crosbie as a contributor.
- Judge Joshua Wall told the roughly half men, half women jury to return Friday morning to continue deliberations, and a sentencing hearing is set for October 30 with up to 20 years possible.
- Assistant District Attorney Daniela Mendes framed the defendant as the aggressor, arguing `he became the danger`, while defense attorney Daniel C. Reilly urged jurors to demand proof beyond reasonable doubt.
