Cheyenne Bishop Emeritus Joseph Hart's attorney Tom Jubin said Bishop Steven Biegler should know the diocese is not capable with running a criminal investigation.
Beginning in 1989, several men alleged that Bishop Joseph Hart sexually abused them years earlier when he was a priest in Kansas City and they were boys.
In exchange for his pleas, Assistant District Attorney Kevin Taheri will recommend at sentencing that Griswold serve concurrent prison terms on the three counts.
