In the wake of Monsignor William J. Lynn’s conviction Friday of endangering the welfare of a child and Lynn’s bail being revoked, Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge M. Teresa Sarmina said during a hearing Tuesday that she would consider releasing Lynn on house arrest if Lynn would waive his right to fight extradition and if it could be established that the Vatican would honor such a waiver.
Lynn’s counsel, Thomas A. Bergstrom and Jeffrey M. Lindy, had made a motion for Lynn to be placed under home confinement.
