Following the news that Penn State University General Counsel Cynthia Baldwin was allowed into the grand jury proceedings of two former university administrators whom she now claims she was not individually representing, several criminal defense attorneys posed the same question: how?
The answer to that question, along with what it means for the upcoming trials of former Athletic Director Tim Curley and former Vice President of Business and Finance Gary Schultz, varied among legal observers. Both Schultz and Curley face charges of failure to report sex abuse and perjury stemming from statements they made to grand jurors last year. According to their testimony to the grand jury, both Curley and Schultz thought Baldwin was their attorney at the hearings.
