From Baltimore-A former Episcopal bishop who fatally hit a young father while she was driving drunk wants out of prison.
The former bishop, Heather Cook, is asking a judge to alter her sentence, less than four years after killing the man while he was riding his bike on Roland Ave.
Ex-Bishop Who Killed Cyclist Could Be Released Next Month
She was drunk, texting and left the scene where 41-year-old Thomas Palermo was left to die in a bike lane.
His family is adamant that they do not want her to walk free, with 20 letters from family and friends begging a judge to deny her request.
She has served less than three years after she hit the cyclist two days after Christmas in 2014. But now she is asking the court to alter her sentence in a way that would make her eligible for release in early November.
