APPLETON, Wis. —
Jury selection is expected to begin Monday in the fraud trial against the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay.
Two brothers sued the diocese in 2008, alleging it committed fraud by repeatedly transferring a priest without telling parishioners of his history of abuse. The diocese says it had no knowledge that John Feeney had committed abuse.
WLUK-TV reports (http://bit.ly/J658XI) that Outagamie County Judge Nancy Krueger denied the diocese’s latest request to have the case dismissed, so the trial is set to start Monday.
