From The Washington Post-
A former Episcopal bishop imprisoned for fatally
striking a bicyclist with her car while drunk could be released as early
as next month if a Baltimore judge approves her request to modify how
she is serving her sentence.
Heather Cook has
asked Baltimore Circuit Judge Timothy Doory to change two of her four
sentences from consecutive to concurrent status. That could cut two
years off the seven-year sentence Doory imposed for the 2014 crash that killed Tom Palermo.
If
Doory agrees to Cook’s full request, state prison officials said
credits Cook has accrued, in accordance with state law, through
participation in prison programs would be applied against her revised
five-year sentence. That would make her eligible for release on Nov. 5 —
the date the judge has set for a hearing on the motion.
If Doory denies the request, Cook is set to be released on Aug. 6.
