A former top Episcopal bishop who struck and killed a cyclist in Baltimore while driving drunk two days after Christmas will remain in prison after the Maryland Parole Commission rejected her plea for early release.
Heather Cook, once the second-highest-ranking Episcopal leader in Maryland, pleaded guilty in October 2015 to manslaughter, drunken driving and leaving the scene after striking cyclist Tom Palermo on December 27, 2014.
On Tuesday the Maryland Parole Commission denied her parole request. She is serving a seven-year prison sentence.
Commission chair David Blumberg said Cook's request was refused outright, meaning she must serve her sentence until her mandatory release date in March 2020.
However, he said if she earns time off credits, she would get out sometime in 2019. He said the decision of the two commissioners was unanimous.

Yeah, Mr. Palermo won't be back on the streets in 2020 so why should she? Devout POS in my opinion.

ReplyDeleteAmen. Dumb drunk Bimbo needs to stay in jail for life. So much for being a woman of the cloth.
ReplyDeleteFemales shouldn't be Bishop's in the Church anyway!
