PHILLY JURY CONVICTS PRIEST, TEACHER IN SEX ABUSE CASE STEMMING FROM ARCHDIOCESE SCANDAL
The verdict upholds the stunning account from a troubled 24-year-old policeman’s son that he was sexually abused as a boy by two priests and his sixth-grade teacher. One priest took a plea deal before trial, while the jury convicted the Rev. Charles Engelhardt and former teacher Bernard Shero of all but one count.

WE DON’T NEED NO STINKING HEAT WAVE
So if Wednesday’s unseasonably warm record temperatures in western Pennsylvania were too much for you, be advised its back to below-freezing weather for Pittsburgh and Erie today. Pittsburgh’s 68-degree high broke the record for the same date of 66 degrees set in 1916, and Erie’s 65 degrees broke a record high of 62, also set in 1916.
