	Diocese's Response to Obstruction of Justice Claims Roman Catholic Diocese of Green Bay December 21, 2010 http://media.journalinteractive.com/documents/snap122210-2.pdf [pdf] GREEN BAY, Wis. (Dec. 21, 2010) – Amid allegations of obstruction of justice, the Diocese of Green Bay says it will vigorously defend itself and demonstrate its innocence when the Merryfield case, a pending civil case, moves on to a jury trial in Outagamie County. Attorneys for Troy and Todd Merryfield submitted a "Motion to Prevent Document Destruction" in Outagamie Circuit Court on November 15, 2010. Attorneys for the Diocese of Green Bay filed a brief in opposition to the plaintiffs' motion on November 23, 2010. The Diocese of Green Bay has reported every credible allegation of sexual abuse against a minor by a member of the clergy to the appropriate District Attorney of the county in which the alleged incident occurred. The Diocese cooperated completely with law enforcement authorities in every one of those cases.
