Nittany Nightmare Continues Past Sandusky: Former President Spanier Charged- NEW Charges for Curley and Schultz Filed
Happy Valley- PA On the heels of convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky’s transfer to his new home, what most predicted would follow- has.
Former Penn State President Graham Spanier, fired by the Penn State Board of Trust the same day as legendary late-Nittany Lions Coach Joe Paterno, is facing serious charges today filed by Sandusky’s prosecutors.
Spanier is facing counts of obstruction of justice, perjury, conspiracy, endangering the welfare of children and failure to report allegations of child abuse.
Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, who were facing perjury and charges based on “non-reporting”, are now facing all five similar charges as Spanier- additional filings occurred simultaneously.
Linda L. Kelly stated the men “used their positions to conceal and cover up for years the activities of a known child predator,” on Thursday following the announcement.

@drose. Then that’s why Hershey Board
hired Rendell’s former chief of
staff to make this go away after
Kane’s election. and it did.
@erose. you ring some memory bells.
Holder is gone. This won’t become DOJ involved on
discrimination grounds. Better choice was Ed & ADA.
Holder was a parent in my kids’ tiny nursery school.
He, wife, kids are the best.
But his lame duck replacement will have no
future career apart from federal judge ambitions in a Repub
confirmation universe. So despite her moxie if
confirmed, Hershey investigation & reform remains at
the mercy of State gov imo. But since Wolf is independently
weathly, maybe he’ll take a second look if petitioned.
Since in PA, unlike Oregon, the press leads, where is it anyway
after Kane closed the case?

“According to PHC’s letter, Kane’s Chief of Staff, Adrian King, is the brother-in-law of Hershey Trust Company vice-president John Estey. The latter served as Chief of Staff under former Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Ed Rendell.”
Estey was hired by the MHS Trust last year, in a move that PHC describes as puzzling. Rendell, King, and Estey are also former partners of the same law firm, creating what PHC says is but another layer of conflict. Rendell has reportedly had designs on an MHS board seat himself, according to PHC’s letter. The letter also discloses that in 2007, Rendell received a $10,000 contribution from a PAC associated with HERCO, an MHS Trust wholly-owned entity.

“The Ballard Spahr hiring has become a lightning rod in the past week with an increasing number of lawmakers questioning the contract not only because of Rendell’s relationship to Ballard Spahr, but also because two former Rendell aides now are Ballard Spahr partners — Adrian King and John Estey.
“We have barely scratched the surface of that contractual situation,” Reichley said.
Estey was Rendell’s chief of staff and a senior adviser until last month and King was deputy chief of staff until 2005. Estey, as chief of staff, recommended hiring Ballard Spahr, according to Rendell’s General Counsel Barbara Adams. King now is working on the turnpike lease for the law firm.
Estey and King are brothers-in-law. Estey declined to comment, and attempts to reach King were not successful.”

Sadly, Dems are in demise in DC/DOJ, so it’s over to Wolf & Corman.
Imo Corman is trying to distinguish himself from Corbett.
Kane appears to be cotton candy, not in control nor independent
I would like to see Zimmerman collect his desserts,
but imo Hershey Trust parasites will feed on.
Exactly, Rose. Steve, thanks for the info getting me up to date.
I remember from way back finding (and posting) a case in one of the surrounding counties where a doctor was using drugs and alcohol to lure underage boys. He got busted, but the sentence was light, if at all. It made me suspicious of the judge.
Anyway, if you ask a bunch of drug dealers if they are syndicated they would answer no because they do not see themselves that way. They are just out for themselves, they don’t attend meetings or plan conspiracies, but they do socialize, attend parties. It’s all in the vocabulary and perception, imo. Probably true of pedophiles as well. They are out for themselves and only use each other and I assume protect each other because it is their own best interests.

Lee was originally scheduled to go to trial on December 1, but last week the federal prosecutor in charge of the case asked the court to grant a continuance. According to court documents, the extra 60 days will give the FBI time to finish its forensic analysis of computers and hard drives seized from Lee.

It seems as though ever since it became an elected position, the PA attorney general has created more problems than they have solved. I’m leaning more and more towards have judges not be elected.

In the Exhibits, NCAA leverages the moment by giving Omar McNeill (Freeh drone) a template to investigate
“institutional culture” followed by specific questions. P 71 finds the dismissed & bitter V Triponey doing everything she could to steer the Freeh investigation away from role Sandusky and his victims played in the football
program and school, about which she knew nothing and had no contribution, to questions of
school culture about which she had a megaphone. Fat chance she’ll get that subpoena quashed.
After a depo of who did you talk to & what did you say, and the same with her counterparts, some had better
hope with kncongruent depos perjury charges don’t come back to haunt. If these depos & discovery go far enough, perhaps Freeh’s route to Federal Court will be testifying to a Fed Grand Jury.

Any PA attorney have a comment?
Looks to me like the Consent Decree was a valid
contract with PSU Pres & BoT acting after
consulting their own counsel. On the job only 8 days, it appears
this Princeton/Yale inhouse gentleman was deferential to his
corporate bosses’ management preferences such that entering the Degree
was not based on legal advice but management judgments.
The “duress” factors
Erickson & Gene refer to: rush, arbitrary deadlines, hints
penalties could worsen, hints of broadening the football
program investigation, even the “hold all the cards”
attitude, do not rise imo to the type of duress that would void a contract because
PSU could have gone down the regular NCAA adjudication path, termed COI
in the email. Minority Elements of PSU BoT simply have buyers’ remorse.

‘Murder in the Stacks’: 45-year-old Betsy Aardsma case intrigues author David DeKok
Read more here: http://www.centredaily.com/2014/11/30/4482960/murder-in-the-stacks-45-year-old.html#storylink=cpy
Q: The Penn State Police still have not closed the Aardsma case Why do you think they would keep the case open with all the new information that has come to light in the past few years?
A: Some of the state police are still quite definitely in Camp Maurer (Larry Paul Maurer). As recently as 2008, there were conversations between the state police and then-Centre County district attorney Michael Madeira about convening a grand jury. Didn’t happen.
Read more here: http://www.centredaily.com/2014/11/30/4482960/murder-in-the-stacks-45-year-old.html#storylink=cpy
Q: The Betsy Aardsma murder is not the only case in the State College area that has gone unsolved. There’s the murder of Rachel Taylor in 1940, the Dana Bailey murder in 1987 the disappearance of Cindy Song in 2001, not to mention the disappearance of former Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar, who has a connection to a couple of the aforementioned cases. Do you think there is a pattern or is it a matter of circumstance?
A: With the students, the pattern is that they occurred in a college town, where a lot of people come and go. That makes murders harder to investigate. Students live here but their roots are elsewhere. With Ray Gricar, who knows? That one has as many theories as the Kennedy Assassination.

@erose. glad to see centredaily write on these, ty for sharing.
wrt “Do you think there is a pattern or is it a matter of circumstance”
imo the status (unsolved) speaks mostly to the training, competence, supervision,
& drive of the assigned investigators in each case.
And don’t miss the part about the state police wanting a GJ after 40 some years (back in ’08) and having Madeira say no. Geez, if I were DA, I would send the evidence to the GJ just on the efforts of a 40 yr. investigation. Rose, I am beginning to think the really messed up cases are due to a two fold problem, LE and DA’s. If you have one strong and not the other you have a shot, if both a weak justice is screwed.
@erose. hah, Mult Cty.
But imo Madeira was weak & generally litigation
averse all on his lonesome. My guess is there
is plenty more to come–just based on
his handout job from psu.

“The court is wary of taking unwarranted action which may result in a lengthy delay of the trial”
“The lawsuit by Corman and Treasurer Rob McCord began as a way to enforce a state law requiring the fine to remain within Pennsylvania. It has since been widened to address the legality of the consent decree.”
Wasn’t this the law which was passed after the fact? Wouldn’t it be applicable only to those situations which occurred after the new law was passed?
Technically, yes, however, the NCAA seeks to have that law declared unconstitutional, and apparently there was some mediative (unofficial) dialog that they would be easing the fines so it looks to me this is really a negotiation where hard-lines are really about $$.
I am a PA resident and I have to be honest, without an extensive proposal with Federal oversight, I do believe requiring a fine it incurred for a system that could be argued was significantly flawed should not be paid back to that “community” who was asleep at the wheel or worse. I have no faith anyone learned their lessons, at least not without specific metrics indicating same.
B
The parties previously negotiated in a Court-run program & failed.
Plaintiffs’ offer to “do it again” was mere posturing imo. Covey
said in effect we won’t waste the Court’s resources & time but you are
welcome to negotiate privately & settle before trial as in any other case.
I actually think the only important issue is the validity of the Consent Decree
to which the after-law’s passage is irrelevant, but the 2 State plaintiffs have to maintain the fiction
they spending State resources to defend the public purse.
The PSU Board minority-9 must be coached by Counsel,
as it appears they are incrementally building a record for an ordinarily
difficult Board minority suit on fiduciary grounds. Ordinary business
judgment is a fine defense, but by boycotting a Board meeting the Maj puts 1 more
nail in a reasonable board member standard when there is a
history & availability of phoning in.
wrt Masser’s pious plaint of “inordinate amount of time on one issue”
when the “one issue” is costing the University $60 million,
in addition to victim payouts and other sanctions, it is not small potatoes, and triple
the time is probably not enough. It sounds like the same old Board
attitude of “sweep it under the rug,” “ignore the thorny problem,”
“move forward,” that got the Board & PSU in trouble over the Sandusky matter in the first place.
http://www.statecollege.com/mobile/news/local-news/penn-state-trustees-clash-over-ncaa-lawsuit,1462029/
did a Board majority with deliberation authorizeErickson to sign the CD?
and, was that deliberative decision driven by duress or unconscionable behavior?
It is my guess little more Documented business deliberation was given to the CD by the full Board then then was given to debating litigation posture now.
imo since Corman & Auditor were not parties to the CD,
their suit is likely to be dismissed, if only on appeal, for no standing.
Therefore it was critically important PSU, a party contractee, join plaintiffs.
it seems to me this suit may be dismissed for lack of standing, then the BoT minority
sues wrt bus judgment wrt majority. The majority of BoT did the work for the
minority by not appearing,
even by phone as a min member actually did to deliberate.

“University counsel Steve Dunham then come on the line to say that university papers state the Erickson was well within his rights to sign the consent decree on behalf of Penn State without full Board approval.”
I guess we have to wait and see.
@Steve. imo U counsel Dunham is right, which is why
PSU needs to be on plaintiffs’ side
with the 2-3 BoT members Erikson consulted trstifying
in unison they felt under some sort of duress or
were subjected to some sort of inducing fraud.
If the Auditor & Senator even have standing. Imo this is all
sort of ridiculous as the relevant BoT members do seem
to act from self-interest rather than as fiduciaries.
Ann Covey seems determined to
push boundaries to get transparency thru litigation.
Otherwise, just like decades of
Sandusky & Lee, the culture
remains look the other way.
I would like to ses more out there

“This isn’t the first time Covey has denied privilege to NCAA documents. The court is currently reviewing 304 documents that the NCAA also fought to keep protected.”
@Rose. The rules in force at the the time gave the president the power, stating “hereby fully authorized and empowered on behalf of the corporation to execute and acknowledge all deeds, agreements and contracts… (Standing Order X, (1)).”
Under the section on BoT responsibilities the BoT was expected “… to grant the President broad delegated authority, to support the President in his/her exercise of such authority,… (Standing Order IX, (1), c, 1).”
There has been an article published on it in academic jouranal in October of this year.
@JJinPA
then it comes down to the then Pres testifying as to agreement under fraud, duress, etc
unless the contract can be found so onesided as to be unconscionable
(I forget my contract law). This Pres then is covered as he had authority &
consulted some Exec Board members. Why do you think then Covey opened the door to
litigation re validity of consent decree?
@Rose, duress is gone, from a legal definition. PSU had counsel, which apparently negates any duress arguments.
The judgment will be if the NCAA acted within their rules (they did) and if they acted in good faith.
@JJ. How about the unequal bargaining
power with a monopoly, resulting in an
unconscionable onesided contract?
And could the Court reform it in part?
The Judge currently barred from criminal trials
(with Lee’s upcoming) tried his 2005 prior, sealed the records
which the unsealing Judge says is not done, and partially
expunged the record in 2009.

@Rose, PSU is part of that “monopoly.” It is a membership institution.
true but say a vertically integrated corporation has a unique monopoly–say generates all steel production nationwide. The parent Corporation is composed of many subsidiaries which are intereoven into the production stream–raw materials, refining, marketing, distributing. The parent corp
controls raw materials inputs to the subs, and the parent corp controls output sales–distributions chains, pricing, & profit margins of the subs. The parent corp requires one sub to sign a significantly penalizing contractual agreement
due to the parent CEO & Exec Board’s abhorrance of something a former sub employee was to be tried for (generating bad publicity for the parent corp & all sunsidiaries. To remain a subsidiary of the monoply vertically integrated business model, the sib has no choice but to sign the penalty agreement or it looses access to raw
materials, key mgmt employees, new specialized employee hires, distribution chains, marketing, & so on, the greatest
threatened loss being most of their income stream. So it really doesn’t matter in monopoly
control by the parent corp that one sub is otherwise a member of the business enterprise.
Where is the courthouse, Never-never-land?

I find this more interesting than the details of the original crime.
So which judge expunged his record? Lunsford again?
snips>
For starters, it appears Lee went to great lengths to avoid his court-ordered counseling, which is exactly what we were seeking when we filed the court petition last month to unseal the probation records.
But notes between court officials, counselors and others repeatedly point to Lee missing and avoiding counseling appointments. One official said at one point that it appeared Lee was playing a game with the court.
Also included is a report from State College police about a mother becoming concerned about Lee talking to her 10-year-old son at a local ski resort and inviting the boy and his family to Lee’s Boal Mansion.
Despite Lee’s noncompliance at times, the court still considered a request to have his record expunged until a letter from the state police said, under state law, some crimes involving children are barred from being expunged.
http://www.wjactv.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/christopher-lees-2005-probation-records-released-4571.shtml
Too bad Lunsford and Madeira didn’t listen to Weaver.
snip>
Weaver also wrote that Lee had still not complied with the ordered evaluation and kept canceling his appointments.
Weaver wrote that he requested the district attorney to either extend the ARD by nine months or terminate it for noncompliance.
Less than a month later, a court order dated March 5, 2007, extended Lee’s ARD by three months. The conditions of the June 2006 order still applied, but also included a special condition that Lee be evaluated for “sex offender treatment” and that he attend recommended treatment until successful completion.
In another email sent to Lunsford and District Attorney Michael Madeira on March 9, 2007, Weaver wrote that Lee’s ARD was extended without Weaver’s knowledge. Weaver “reminded all involved” that Lee refused to sign the new ARD conditions because he was unwilling to change the age of tour guides at the Boal Mansion from 14 to 16 years old. Weaver also wrote that Lee had not yet satisfied the evaluation stipulation of the ARD.
“I believe his game will be to get someone to say he doesn’t need sex offender treatment and let him off the hook, which in my opinion is a huge mistake,” Weaver wrote in the email.

I wonder if the Lunsford removal is a result of this case- I opined earlier, but the unsealing of the files has me thinking it is.
1. Weaver deserves a promotion- for trying desperately to do his job.
2. Madeira’s performance on Lee’s case is suspect at best- if he was interested in protecting children he should have revoked Lee’s ARD when advised by Weaver and Allenbaugh.
What Lee was avoiding, and I wonder if he ever was truly evaluated- was Allenbaugh realizing that Lee was a pedophile. Gee- ya think the fact that Lee refused to change the age of the Docent program was a clue?
Lastly- there are absolutely more victims- of that I am positive.

In my view- and in the view of the FBI and most major LEA’s I am aware of pedophiles are not treatable in terms of curing or therapeutic remedy whatsoever.
That said, I would prefer they are always monitored in some sort of capacity rather than not.

The comments of the Judge unsealing the case which explained why criminal case records of convictions are simply not sealed leads me to believe that very act of sealing, not the ARD, led to Lunaford’s removal from all criminal cases entirely. I bet they are researching decades back of Lunaford’s other criminal dispositions to see if Lee’s was an anomaly or part of a pattern with other clients of Amendola or other leading townsmen families. If they find no pattern, imo then he goes back to training before returning to criminal adjudications.
And, a Lunsford-Amendola investigation of past cases could explain Lee’s change of attorneys.
