The family of Joe Paterno has asked the Centre County Court of Common Pleas to allow them to subpoena Pepper Hamilton for documents related to the Freeh report.
On Monday, the plaintiffs in Paterno v. National Collegiate Athletic Association filed a motion asking the court to overrule the NCAA’s objections regarding the Paterno family’s intent to subpoena Pepper Hamilton for documents created by Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan, which merged with Pepper Hamilton in September 2012. The firm was retained by Penn State University in 2011 to investigate the allegations of sexual abuse at the hands of Jerry Sandusky and the university’s alleged failure to report the abuse.
