No, he did not.

Well, the DA was ready to indict him for obstruction of justice, and O'Brien admitted to moving priests, even though he knew they were guilty of pederasty, and did not inform pastors or parishioners of the receiving parishes.

And, when O'Brien came out and said "there was no cover-up," DA Romley, when questioned about it, said "Does the bishop not remember what he signed?"

Totus, you can spin the agreement however you want to spin it, but the only reason O'Brien wasn't behind bars for that offense was the DA worked out a deal with him.

Sinkspur,you are wrong again.The county Attorney said,in defending his position in not indicting him to begin with,that he could have indicted him but he might very well have been found not guilty. But the bigger problem was that had he been found guilty,he probably would have gotten a year or two which most likely would have been suspended anyway.

He felt that his cooperation and acknowledgement would not hinder other charges if new information came out and would save time in the long run.

Regards the wildlife in Phoenix,I lived in what could have been called the inner city (4 miles south of the action) and this week coyotes were spotted walking around within a block of my house.

BTW,I have no idea of what happened last Saturday night but I suspect the bishop has been scared out of his wits for a while now,unfortunately because he has lied so frequently,he has no credibility. Let this be a lesson for all,"TELL THE TRUTH".
