THE LAWYER representing the Catholic church official whose child-endangerment conviction was overturned last week by the state Superior Court said yesterday that District Attorney Seth Williams was “unprofessional” for criticizing the ruling and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s decision to pay his client’s bail.
Thomas Bergstrom said he will send letters to the Pennsylvania Bar Association and the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania detailing Williams’ misconduct in response to Monsignor William Lynn’s case.
“I think Williams is way out of line. He’s a lawyer, he’s a public servant, an officer of the court. He is denigrating the court and denigrating the Archdiocese for assisting in the posting of bail for what is – at the moment – an innocent man,” Bergstrom told the Daily News.
