Delaware Court Upholds Patchel Vehicular Homicide Convictions
The Delaware County Superior Court affirms attorney Paul Patchel's vehicular homicide and leaving the scene convictions, rejecting psychiatric testimony to mitigate the offense. The ruling notes stark evidence that Patchel knew of a serious accident but did not stop, with the two churchwomen killed near the Granite Run Mall in Middletown. Patchel, 39, remains free on bail as he pursues further appeals.

Federal judge eyed over school graduation prayers at Owen J. Roberts High
Civil rights lawyers again seek to bar prayers at the Owen J. Roberts High School graduation in Chester County. Jay and Judith Jacobs, parents of valedictorian Amy Jacobs, sue Principal William Faulkner after a bac calaureate service they say promoted Christianity. Judge Lowell Reed scheduled a 9:00 a.m. hearing on a possible temporary restraining order to keep prayers out of tonight's ceremony.
