On June 5, 2007, Father Gordon MacRae marked his 25th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. On that same day, he also marked 12 1/2 years - half his life as a priest - in a prison cell in the New Hampshire State Prison for Men in Concord, NH. A priest of the Diocese of Manchester, Father MacRae is 54 years old. The crimes for which he was accused and convicted were claimed to have occurred when he was between 25 and 30 years old. Brought without evidence, the claims were accompanied by litigation demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlement demands for punitive and compensatory damages. The demands were settled. out-of-court despite Father MacRae's protests of fraud.

In the years since the panic-driven and selective release of files and other accumulated claims and demands for money - but no evidence - some began to take a hard look under the surface of the case against Father Gordon MacRae.  What is found there is troubling to anyone concerned for the state of due process, justice, and liberty in America.
