The Catholic League has asked a state disciplinary board to investigate whether any member of the district attorney’s office has a financial interest in Billy Doe’s civil suit against the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, sent a May 9th letter seeking an investigation to Anthony P. Sodroski, Disciplinary Counsel-in-Charge of the Disciplinary Board of the state Supreme Court.
In the letter, which he released to the press, Donohue stated, “What needs to be settled is whether someone from the office of D.A. Seth Williams will be receiving a referral fee for his work in connection with the ‘Billy Doe’ civil suit” against the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.”
“You should know that we are pursuing other avenues of redress in this case,” Donohue wrote Sodroski. “Never in my 20 years as president of the Catholic League have I seen a more egregious series of legal misconduct stemming from one case. All I am asking from you is cooperation in this particular matter.”
