Attorneys representing three former Penn State administrators accused of covering up the acts of convicted serial child molester Jerry Sandusky argued Tuesday the prosecution should be dismissed because they were not properly represented by counsel during grand jury investigations.
The arguments in the state Superior Court before Judges Mary Jane Bowes, William H. Platt and Patricia H. Jenkins in Harrisburg focused on whether former university attorney Cynthia Baldwin provided adequate information to the defendants about her role representing them only in their administrative roles when they testified before a grand jury investigating Sandusky. The defendants contended Baldwin, the grand jury judge and former chief deputy attorney general Frank Fina failed to properly inform former university president Graham Spanier, ex-vice president for business and finance Gary Schultz and ex-athletic director Tim Curley that they were not being represented in their individual capacity before the investigating grand jury.
