Okay, now that I got your attention, this case does not involve breaking the seal of sacramental Confession, although the loose wording of some headlines (including mine, mea culpa) may suggest it. For example:
Family man charged with fatally shooting wife after confessing crime to priest
New York Daily News
Man arrested after allegedly confessing to priest that he killed wife
WCVB Boston (Update: this article appears to have been removed.)
One of the first reports, with a no-nonsense headline:
To make a long story short, it appears that the priest talked the man out of killing himself and persuaded him to turn himself over to the police. Well done, Father!
Let us pray for the murder victim, Amanda Schmitt – May she rest in peace in the glorious presence of God – and for her family and all who are affected, and for John P. Grazioli, her husband and alleged murderer.
