	Father George Chaanine Pleads Guilty to Battery KVBC September 20, 2007 http://www.kvbc.com/Global/story.asp?S=7105476&nav=15MV A priest accused of attacking a choir member has pleaded guilty to battery. Father George Chaanine had been charged with kidnapping, attempted sexual assault and attempted murder. In exchange for a guilty plea to the battery charge, those other charges will be dismissed. Police say Chaanine hit Michealina Bellamy with a wine bottle. He was on the run for about a week following the attack. Chaanine was arrested near Phoenix. He will be sentenced on November 1. We're told he could get as little as probation or up to 15 years in prison.
