Lawyer pleads guilty in church-porn case

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - A lawyer admitted Thursday that he destroyed a
computer containing child pornography that was evidence in an
investigation at a prominent church.

The lawyer, Philip Russell, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to
one count of misprision of a felony, which means he had knowledge of a
felony but didn't report it. He faces up to 14 months in prison under
federal sentencing guidelines when he is sentenced in December.

Russell, a former lawyer for the Christ Church in Greenwich, was
accused of obstructing an FBI investigation that led to the January
conviction of the church's music director, Robert Tate, for possessing
child pornography.

Former President George H.W. Bush attended the church while growing up
and funeral services for his parents were held there.
