	Wis. Attorney Who Defended Nun Reprimanded WFRV December 22, 2010 A Wisconsin attorney who defended a nun convicted of sexually abusing two teenage boys has been reprimanded and fined for also initially representing one of the victims. The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday reprimanded attorney Nikola Kostich for what it called an egregious conflict of interest. Kostich defended Norma Giannini, a nun who was sentenced in February 2008 to one year in jail for sexually abusing two teens at St. Patrick's School in Milwaukee in the 1960s. Before representing Giannini, Kostich met with one of the victims who described the abuse and turned over medical records. Kostich declined to take his case, but then represented the nun. Kostich did not immediately return a message Tuesday seeking comment.
