Pa. Supreme Court rejects Philly D.A.'s appeal in church sex-abuse case

Pennsylvania's Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Msgr. William J. Lynn, the first Catholic church official convicted for a supervisory role over priests accused of sexually abusing children in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, must have a new trial.
The ruling came as the high court rejected an appeal by the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, which challenged a lower court's order of a new trial.
