APPLETON – Jury selection has begun in a civil trial against the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay.
Lawyers are going through the process of selecting the jury from a pool of 90 Outagamie County citizens.
Brothers Todd and Troy Merryfield sued the diocese in 2008, claiming it committed fraud.
The Merryfields say the diocese repeatedly transferred a priest, John Feeney, without telling parishioners about his history of abuse. The diocese says it didn’t know about the abuse.
