Kansas City, MO —
Misdemeanor charges against Bishop Robert W. Finn and the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph have been split into two different periods.
The motion to amend the misdemeanor charges pending against the metro area’s top Catholic official and the diocese was filed late Friday, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced Monday.
If granted, Finn and the diocese would each face two misdemeanor counts, according to the prosecutor’s office.
If granted, the first new charge specifies the period of Dec. 17, 2010, to Feb. 10, 2011, while the second specifies Feb. 11, 2011, to May 18, 2011.
