PHILADELPHIA (CBS) –A Philadelphia jury today returned “guilty” verdicts on most counts against a former priest and a former lay teacher in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Father Charles Engelhardt and lay teacher Bernard Shero were charged with sexually molesting the same boy in 1999 and 2000 (see related stories).
Earlier this afternoon, the jury told the judge that it was deadlocked on one of the charges but had reached a decision on all the others.
The judge, not willing to let the jury declare itself hung on that one remaining charge, sent the panel back to continue its deliberations.
