APPLETON — Attorneys say an attempt to settle the civil lawsuit brought by two sexual assault victims against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Green Bay was unsuccessful as a two-week jury trial draws near.
Outagamie County Judge Nancy Krueger held a motions hearing Monday in the lawsuit filed by brothers Todd and Troy Merryfield stemming from their childhood sexual abuse at the hands of former priest John Feeney.
Krueger considered sanctions Monday against Troy Merryfield for participating in a recent mediation session by telephone instead of in person. Krueger didn’t order sanctions, but asked attorneys to discuss the possibility of another mediation session.
