APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – The Green Bay Catholic Diocese is in Outagamie County court Tuesday appealing a civil fraud case brought by two brothers who were molested by a former priest.
In May, a jury awarded Todd and Troy Merryfield $700,000. The Merryfields were molested by former priest John Feeney in Freedom in 1978. Feeney was convicted criminally in 2004.
FOX 11 reports the Diocese filed over 100 pages of motions with Judge Nancy Krueger. Among them are motions to dismiss the verdict and a motion for a new trial based on alleged bias of a jury member.
