    Defense Lawyers Getting Twice As Much As Victims

    DateTuesday, November 17, 2009 at 6:08AM

    Remember this the next time someone complains that plaintiffs’ lawyers get all the money.

    The St. Louis Archdiocese has released financial figures showing it spent $352,000 last fiscal year on payments to victims of predator priests -- and more than twice that amount on lawyers.

    Numbers released by the archdiocese Friday show more was paid in legal fees than to victims for five of the past 10 fiscal years.
