Ex-Penn State University President Graham Spanier argued in a brief filed Monday that his bid to enjoin prosecution against him should not be barred from federal courts because he has alleged bad faith on the part of the prosecutors.
A day later, Spanier filed another brief, this time in the Pennsylvania Superior Court, arguing the Centre County Court of Common Pleas was right to stay his defamation suit against Louis Freeh, who led an internal investigation into Penn State’s handling of child sex-abuse reports in the Jerry Sandusky scandal, and Freeh’s former law firm, pending the outcome of Spanier’s criminal case.
