Monsignor William Lynn is due in court Monday for the first time since his conviction in the priest sex-abuse scandal was reversed.

The Roman Catholic church official is not quite a free man. He must remain under electronic monitoring while prosecutors try to restore the conviction.

Lynn served 18 months in prison for felony child-endangerment. He was the first U.S. church official ever convicted over his handling of abuse complaints.
