PHILADELPHIA (WTXF/AP) –
A former Philadelphia church official is due back in court two days after he was released from prison when his child-endangerment conviction was overturned.
Monsignor William Lynn, 65, has served all but three months of his three-year sentence since his high-profile 2012 trial.
But Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams insists he will retry the case. A judge could set a trial date at the 10am Thursday hearing.
Lynn is the first church official ever charged or convicted over his handling of complaints that priests were molesting children.
