Update: Pastor Herman Lewis to stand trial

Pastor Herman "double life" Lewis, a marquee player here on Hypocrisy Watch has been found competent to stand trail.

A Spokane pastor suspected of attempted rape and kidnapping has been declared competent to stand trial.

Herman Lewis' defense attorney claimed his client was too mentally ill to be held responsible for his actions. However Lewis was evaluated during a stay at Eastern State Hospital and doctors there determined he had no major psychological issues.

On Friday Lewis pled not guilty to the charges he’s facing. He remains free on bond.

In other news, Lewis has agreed to step down from his Church. It seems some of his congregation has a problem with his attempted rape, kidnapping, and the bitch slapping an old man.

Church board members met Monday night and voted to recommend Lewis resign as pastor. Lewis agreed to resign over the phone this morning.

When a church asks you to resign, that's like being fired... Right?
