BALTIMORE, Md. — A former Episcopal bishop who killed a cyclist in 2014 will be released from jail in May.
According to officials, Heather Cook will be released from jail and placed on probation until October 2022, meeting regularly with an agent and being supervised.
That means Cook will have served 3 1/2 years of her seven-year sentence after she was convicted of killing bicyclist Thomas Palermo on Dec. 27, 2014.
At the time, Cook was the second ranking official in the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland.
Cook pleaded guilty in September 2015 to auto manslaughter, driving while intoxicated, driving while texting and leaving the scene of an accident. She kept going and then returned to the scene more than a half hour later.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Sure thing: Bishop Heather Cook, Bishop Mickey Mouse and Bishop Fred Flintstone are real bishops.
An epistemological example of the benefits of being a bishop...
Along with getting a special exemption to sin and be forgiven because he is clergy. A benefit that an average soul, like ours, don’t.
Killed a man while driving shit face wasted and she is out in 3 years. This is justice?
I'm willing to bet there are people who have filled out environmental impact statements wrong, who served more time than that!
It's a she, and she gets no special treatment from God due to her position.
I stand corrected. She doesn’t get special treatment because she’s not a man clergy in the Catholic Church.
They do not get special treatment either. They may get special treatment here on earth, but that is a human failing.
Should have been executed.
Yes they do. That is why they commit sexual misconduct.
No they don't, not in the eyes of whom it matters most. Lots of people get away with things here on earth that they will have to reconcile when they depart this earth.
Just as there is a homosexual mafia that exists in the general population, one also exists within religious domains. Many religious leaders, just like political, business and other leaders, have caved to the demands of the homosexual mafia.
That “special treatment” was a long time ago; those days are over (where they get a pass). There’s a new sheriff in town, and he puts “religion” on no special place.
I expect she was quite well-behaved in prison and authorities took that into account. But that too would be a matter of applying the standard guidelines.
