	Jury Deliberating in Naked Priest Trial By David Young The Tribune June 12, 2008 http://www.greeleytrib.com/article/20080612/NEWS/115408531 The jury is deliberating in the trial of a priest charged with indecent exposure for jogging naked. The Rev. Robert Whipkey, 53, told Frederick police officer Zacheria Hahn he was jogging nude at the high school track because he sweats profusely. In closing statements Whipkey's defense attorney Harvey Steinberg argued Whipkey did not intend to show his genitals to anyone and covered up when Hahn spotted him. "Don't like him; don't like what he did... But follow the law," Steinberg told jurors. Prosecutors said Whipkey is not on trial for being weird or odd, but because he broke the law. They stated by running on the track and walking on a main street in town, Whipkey knew someone would likely see him and didn't care. "This boils down to what's right and wrong," said prosecutor Kent Leier "The defendant knew his actions were wrong." For more on this story see Friday's Greeley Tribune.
