In this Jan. 6, 2014, file photo, Monsignor
William Lynn leaves a bail hearing at the Center for Criminal Justice
in Philadelphia. Lynn 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.
Monsignor William Lynn, a
former Philadelphia church official described by his lawyer as a "pawn"
in the Church hierarchy, will be retried next year over his handling of
priest-abuse complaints even though his child-endangerment conviction
has been overturned twice.
