Baltimore Bishop Charged in Hit-and-Run Case

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/10/us/baltimore-bishop-charged-in-hit-and-run-case.html?_r=0


As her first act as the state’s attorney for Baltimore City, Marilyn J. Mosby, who won in an upset election this fall, said, Suffragan Bishop Heather Cook was drunk and texting when she hit Thomas Palermo, 41, a bike safety advocate.

At a news conference this morning, Ms. Mosby said Bishop Cook would face charges including vehicular manslaughter, criminal negligence, driving under the influence of alcohol, texting while driving and leaving the scene of an accident.

Hopefully the Bishop gets taken out with a big left or right Rook and the Palermo family can check mate their way to justice.

She's out on bail. A friend who's a former pastor gave a bondsman $35K and agreed to pay $1,000 a month for a long time for the bond.

Unless she serves the maximum...

...it's not enough for wantonly taking two people's lives and injuring a third. However, at least it's better than the typical slap on the wrist that most murderers of cyclists get.
