From Times Wire Reports
A judge in Phoenix has denied a request from Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas O’Brien to count travel time as part of the community service hours he was ordered to perform for a felony hit-and-run.
O’Brien, 68, was convicted in February of leaving the scene of a crash that killed a pedestrian last summer. The bishop was sentenced to four years of probation and ordered to spend 1,000 hours ministering to the sick and dying.
