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.

    @JJ in Phila. wrt “Corbett would not have had any involvement in the 2005 Lee case, and LE had just started the investigation of Lee when RFG disappeared”
    Sorry for the confusion, I meant Verbal Lee.

    I was suggesting political pressure down the Republican network
    (Corbett to Grine to DA) say to file or not file charges,
    or about something else like sentence or bail recommendations,
    could have troubled Gricar between Jan-Apr 2005. It needn’t be a matter the
    public knows about. If Gricar came under pressure to not file charges,
    and complied, who would know?

    An updated Linkedin from Shutt….changed subsequent to end-January 2015. https://www.linkedin.com/pub/michelle-shutt/95/586/632?trk=pub-pbmap

    Yes, her degree was from Everest. And the magna cum laude formerly on the resume is deleted. Did someone check that claim out & question its veracity?
    If she is in the position of the Huff Post articl grad in the link above, she needs to score big on the class action lawsuit v Dicks, or say another suit, an as yet unfiled tort or defamation suit.
    Another way to stave off student lians is to reenroll in school. Fortunately she found another on line nonprofit.

    “Everest University’s parent company, Corinthian Colleges, is currently being sued by the state of California for “false and predatory advertising, intentional misrepresentations to students, securities fraud and unlawful use of military seals in advertisements.”[1][2]
    “According to (California Attorney General) Harris’ complaint, CCI’s predatory marketing efforts specifically target vulnerable, low-income job seekers and single parents who have annual incomes near the federal poverty line. In internal company documents obtained by the Department of Justice, CCI describes its target demographic as “isolated,” “impatient,” individuals with “low self-esteem,” who have “few people in their lives who care about them” and who are “stuck” and “unable to see and plan well for future.”

    Moving right along, I hope Blink’s efiles have a screenshot of tge Jan Linked in (magna cum laude).

    Further observations:
    In Jan her Linkedin showed her currently employed in the fancy sounding job at Restek. This Linkedin uodates that job ended last October. At the same time, her proofreading skills are poor because hercSummaey belabors that she is currently employed at Restek.

    Also, that January AND this Linkedin do not show her employed by the Masorti law firm. He has claimed her as his employee in various sound bites. It appears to be contract, as needed, labor. If it were substantial, this detailed resume would mention his firm since she rewote it after Jan 2015 wrt several substantial additions & deletions
    —-
    In order to work in the criminal justice, forensics field, she will have to ensure SPM is tried and convicted, or her reputation in LE in Centre County won’t be worth toilet paper.

    And one wonders if SPM’s reference of her after separation in Jan 2014 was so poor that SPM had to be discredited by an ambitious mother of 3 with huge loans & not a cent to spare most likely.

    I will say that her contract status with Masorti is likely covered under a confidentiality clause and she may not use that as her employer on Linked In. That is common- as you know, my practice’s clients are mostly lawyers and it is pretty standard. In most contracts- I am also only permitted to provide a case abstract reference on my CV that is approved beforehand.

    skim-reading bittany-net Sandusky.
    You mean that fine Republican Judge, David Grine, was a
    Director of Second Mile, AND overruled the local juvenile
    caseworker & a mother’s parental rights to send
    Matt to the voracious Jerry? What a conflict of interest.
    Should have reassigned that case. And could D Grine also be one of the political
    pressure situations not to file charges (against JS) that Gricar obliquely
    referred to. Wonder what the political pressure was in 2004-2005, and if it came from Judge Grine.
    And I wonder if Judge Jonathan is a man made in his father’s image.

    finally, some original reporting:
    http://www.statecollege.com/news/local-news/taxpayers-could-foot-big-legal-bills-from-fight-over-parks-miller-forgery-allegations,1462958/
    Garrett went to Boyde for info on legal expenditures to date.
    Bernie got his fellow rugby coach a retirement plan imo. Ridiculoys to
    use a contingency fund for this purpose.

    Someone needs to go for County coffer reimbursement on the Fetterhoff rep

    County solicitor contract or in the alternative didn’t pay his ins coverage directly.

    http://www.wjactv.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/judge-centre-county-removed-bench-time-being-4446.shtml?wap=0

    that’s rather dramatic. you’d think a collegial agreement would work out privately, with Lunsford recusing himself.
    Imo Kistler did this adversarially rather than collegialky.

    Note the date. After Kistler & Corman agree Wolf will nominate him to SC post Wolf’s swearingin. I infer this order was directed at Lunsford not succeeding him as Sr Admin Judge, but Ruest, at a time he thot the Supreme Court was sewn up

    Masorti, out of the entire CC defense bar, is the primary media interviewee at the time about Kistler’s order , and interjects illicit fraternization with SPM in early December, Masorti:

    I looked up a prominent poster displaying animus to SPM on CIOC.
    It seems what she termed a spurious stalking oder led her to be fired from the police dept, risk homelessness, be jobless, and so on. Of course she’d blame the DA. Maybe she should sign up for Ashford too.

    Why does it matter if Judge David Grine was on TSM board at the time? Improper is improper. He was certainly well versed in their operation.

    Johnathan Grine dated and then married one of this students from the class he taught. IShe is his second wife.

    David Grine made the ruling in the 1990′s. If he wasn’t on the TSM board at that point, then there was no conflict.

    Masorti (or his ally) puffs a Comment I felt written by someone subjected to criminal justice who apparently at the time of the Comment writing needed a valium or a toke. The best thing that Commenter can do for himself is give up his grudge against the DA, & get a life by moving on. I am shocked Gricar hired him, much less befriended or relied on him. In retrospect, was Calif his only criminal contact? Could he have been blackmailed by PA criminal elements?

    I wonder if Kistler’s compatriots, ie Corman &/or 2 BoCs, or Glantz,
    realized Kistler needed to remain on the CC bench for this very reason.
    Supplies motive for email release.

    In a very broad statement having spent enough snowbound hours I wish to throw things, so instead I spent thesis hours and painted my study complete with whatever paint fumes do to one’s brain glucose- Sometimes I think there is such a political master plan on the scale of deepthroat or Lewinsky ( wait- yes, it is fumefunnery disorder- I just checked the DSM-Never) Deepthroat and Lewinsky in the same sentence- did I just fume-think that?

    I digress.

    Sometimes I consider each player has such a tactile position with appropriate agenda and other times I picture all of them as children whipping sand in each others eyes at close range. Not a shining time for me to be a resident of PA in my first year from NJ- down a few justices, the commonwealth’s capital barristers clammering for position after Wolf’s win. It’s a mess.

  18. J. J. in Phila (the real one) says:

    @Rose, Krister has already called in an out of county judge (Williamson). No judge from the Centre County bench will be handling it.

    Sloane, who I know over the Internet and like (but with whom I disagree with here), was fired as an ADA when Parks Miller took over. His prosecution, which was unrelated to his official, was conducted by the OAG, because he had been a long term ADA.

    @Blink, I think that, due to the termination, there has been hard feelings on Sloane’s part. You have to know the history. :)

    My criticism is not of a need for an investigation. It is of the county commissioners attempting to insert themselves into this and attempting to get this private prosecutor. It is appropriate for the OAG to handle this case, as it was in Sloane’s case.

    @ JJ in Phila. Yes, an out of County Judge signed the warrants. I thought Ruest referred it over?
    I don’t think “a case” was referred over. Search Warrants require evidence & a finding of probable cause, a judicial finding. Imo appointing a special prosecutor under the Statute is arguably an administrative action, not requiring a judicial finding of fact or weighing of evidence. It is arguable no one is better suited to make this administrative appointment than the President Judge. (Therefore imo hell would freeze over before Kustler & allies would allow Lunsford as PJ.) If the Special Prosecutor filed charges, then tgere would be a case to try and would be referred out to the same or another Judge.

    Add sean to the cabal seeking to disrobe Lunsford & Parks.
    Ridiculous. 300 texts over 60 days = 5 per day. Give 3 to Parks & 2 to Lunsford.
    Shows no personal relationship, merely replaces the phone. “I have orders to be signed, what time will you be in Chambers?” “3:00″ There’s 2 a day right there. “Held up in trial, must reschedule” & so on.
    Sean has data from 2 months prior to his rapist’s case, but cannot prove any personal communication or case communication. It’s all his salacious fantasy. Seems to me the bad boys of Centre County aren’t merely the criminal clients. If you can’t win any other way, kick sand. At this point, if I were FBI, I’d be looking for direct or indirect payola to the nonLunsford Judges who’d been handling these criminal cases, whose schemes perhaps Lunsford’s turn on the Criminal bench had shaken up.

  22. Rose says:

    What a minute.
    Didn’t Sean work in Masorti’s Office?

  23. Rose says:

    I think the crisis in the CC Courthouse needs to be examined by the DOJ & FBI and include in addition to Lunsford, Boob, and Miller, as its focus the BoC, Glantz, his settlement business partner Cantorna, Masorti, his office associates Shutt & McGraw, the retired Court Administrator, the Prothonotary, and Judges Kistler and Ruest, anyone else Miller has fired during her tenure, and so on. Bank accounts over time & other avenues of public corruption ought to be scrubbed.

    Agreed this needs oversight- LONG ago.

  24. Rose says:

    Looks to me like every time Masorti and associates raise new allegations against Parks-Lunsford, he faxes a copy right over to Michael Martin G, who does zero reporting other than serves as a mouthpiece.

    Sean McGraw actually worked with Shubin and has been Shutt’s lawyer.

    Shutt must be running scared for him to pull this “discredit Lunsford & Parker & Boob” publicity stunt on Blake’s back.

  27. Rose says:

    the ever voluble Commenter at CDT, Sloane, reminds us Sean is not only Shutt’s attorney, he too was let go by Miller, or allowed to slink off quietly.
    http://www.statecollege.com/mobile/news/local-news/centre-county-judge-district-attorney-accused-of-bias-da-says-claim-is-without-merit,1463092/
    Wonder if he shared Steve’s personal problem?

    Beginning to sound like a club of folks fired by the DA, at least 3, and their rescuer, Masorti.

  28. Rose says:

    Sloane reveals J Kistler has something against Miller. In above url he said,
    ” I guess it is possible that President Judge Kistler, the majority of the County’s Criminal Defense Bar, her former employees and the Law Enforcement community she is the Chief Officer over….ARE ALL WRONG AND SHE IS JUST SIMPLY MISUNDERSTOOD>>>>>>>”
    The extent of Sloan’s personal knowledge of Kistler’s innermost thoughts about the DA is impressive.
    Unless Kistler has been bad mouthing the DA all around the Courthouse.
    If so, who will sign the order barring Kistler from criminal cases?

  29. Rose says:

    I was surprised to see only Sloane’s comment as a couple were up earlier, including a fine one by Kim P-F critical of Garrett’s failure to report facts other than McGraw’s fax feed (my words). For example she suggested he might have asked other DAs how often they text about business matters in communicating with criminal judges, or ask other criminal judges in CC how often they communicate via text with DA.
    So it seems Garrett’s article was updated at 4 pm and comments critical of his weak reporting such as Kim’s were removed. http://www.statecollege.com/mobile/news/local-news/centre-county-judge-district-attorney-accused-of-bias-unprofessional-relationship,1463092/

    I did look up Garrett as he also seemed to be on fax feed from Kistler as to Supr Court status, getting info first. He graduated from Penn State 8 mos ago and has a fine resume (but spells perform as preform). Someone hungry for a start in the business who seems willing to put primary info out there from sources like Kistler Masorti & McGraw without analysis, before getting a comment from the subject, and without breaking down numbers as to what they mean. In short, a newcomer useable as a mouthpiece.

  30. Rose says:

    from above url “”Contact between the District Attorney and the Courts for our jobs and in order to improve the community should not be vilified,” Parks Miller says in an email. “It is a sad day in Centre County when you have defendants trying to get out of their charges by pointing to contact between my office and a judge, even though that contact has nothing to do with pending cases and is permitted and encouraged.”

    When Blake is convicted of rape & sentenced, it seems to me he’ll have a cause of action against McGraw for interjecting personal animus against Miller into his trial strategy. Personally I think she refused McGraw a plea offer.

  31. Rose says:

    noting the March 2014 Blake arraignment date, I wondered why McGraw waited until the eve of trial a year later to file a Motion to sideline Miller & punitively remove 2 serious charges evidence presumeably supports, revictimizing the victim.
    http://www.centredaily.com/2014/03/19/4092131/rape-charges-added-to-maryland.html
    Then I realized Blake had Tami Fee as his attorney then.
    One wonders, based on his representation of Shutt & Blake, if McGraw goes out & solicits clients to further his
    personal animus toward Miller. It would be interesting to learn how Blake dropped Fee for McGraw.

  32. Rose says:

    kinda wonder if the client rater of 10 mos ago, mother
    who loves her son, is Blake’s:
    http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/16823-pa-tami-fees-434953/reviews.html

  33. J. J. in Phila (the real one) says:

    @Rose, I think it was Kristler who (properly) called in an out of county judge.

  34. Rose says:

    Sloane continues to reveal hus intimate personal knowledge in Comments, url Garrett article above.
    First it was Kistler’s innermost thoughts, now it’s the explicit content of the texts:

    Steve Sloane
    Because they DO…if you read them, you would be sick!
    4 hours ago”

    Do refers to have something to hide. Them refers to Lunsford – Miller text contents.
    How did Sloan read them? I presumed McGraw had been reliablyinformed of the texts contents by someone on Bellefonte PD when I saw the motion, and Sloan added Bellefonte PD to the list of those who hate her.

    Sloan’s only possible source of information would be a member of the Bellefonte police dept who examined, or was given information about the examination, of her phone.

    Needs an OAG investigation of the Bellefonte PD & loose-lips Sloan as to how knowledge of the contents of the DA’s texts came into the possession of a convicted, disbarred drug dealor. There were CIs on that phone as well.

    I believe the texts were attached as an exhibit on a filing (Masorti?)
    B

  35. Rose says:

    Smith (Sr Asst DA) and Boob (2002) both predate Gricar’s demise & still work for DA.
    She can’t be remaking the Office entirely.

  36. Rose says:

    same article url. A longtime criminal defense attorney Fleming “trained by Gricar” piles on, calling Sloan’s
    fall due to “a mistake” we all make (how many other lawyers get disbarred for drug dealing
    out of their law office?). He says Sloan “was one of Centre County’s best, most formidable, and brilliant prosecutors we have had.” God help the County then, as in my opinion his Comments are intemperate, often illiterate, vengeful, and not reflective of abstract reasoning ability. Kim P-F is more analytic.

  37. Rose says:

    fascinating. While Clayton’s CDT article says it was updated 8 hours ago (roughly 11:30 pm), I scoured CDT repeat dly justbefore that wondering why Garrett at statecolle.com had this story & CDT didn’t. At 10-11 pm, I could not find it internally (CDT) nor externally (google).
    http://www.centredaily.com/2015/03/06/4637296/motion-in-rape-case-alleges-improper.html
    One wonders hiw Clayton got the motion & ruling after the Courthouse clised.
    And Garrett’s article vastly differs. Garrent does not mention a ruling, the Judge (Williamson, Clinton Cty), the crux which are texts between District Judge Gillette & DA, or really the heart of the nexus to Blake. So my guess (and Kim’s assertion in the comment Garrett removed) that Garrett was fed something but failed to do his own checking was correct.

    Clearly McGraw used this pretext wrt Miller to forum shop outside of Centre County and to draw a Clinton Cty jury.

    Williamson ruled correctly right down the line imo. So bye bye jail for Blake for a few months. Imo Miller will ensure the rape sticks. Seems to me Masorti, Sloan, McGraw, & Cantorna are poisoning jury pools via adverse personal animus against the County prosecutors in all future criminal cases.

  38. Rose says:

    Some evidence there was no CDT article before the Courthouse closed to get copies of the Motion & ruling (or before midnite when Clayton said he’d updated) is that JJ is the only commenter on CDT, 6 hrs ago. If Clayton had had an article up prior to midnite, he’d have had copious commenters, particularly Sloan, who rather did their thing 2ce (Garrett erased the first group which criticized his reporting). Look for Sloan to return to CDT when he wakes up.

  39. Rose says:

    The point I’m making is apparently Clayton & Garrett are on fax feed from one or more cabal members, but the info given each seems to differ & be selective & targeted. While Garrett added the response Miller sent to his article, both papers at this point seem not to do original trustworthy reporting.

  40. Rose says:

    Apparently JJ you have not seen Sloan’s comment indicating he has read the texts, or been briefed by someone who has.

  41. Rose says:

    when (and more to the point, why?) did McGraw go to work, in retrospect temporarily, for the DA?
    In Nov 2009 he had a thriving defense practice representing drug users/dealors.
    1 example: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/pa-superior-court/1499329.html

  42. Rose says:

    @Blink. McGraw filed a foia on texts for a 60 period before the eve of Blake’s trial. He said in his motion the data showed date, time, nos only & no content. His motion included a request for content which Williamson denied. Masorti’s foia also did not show content. If Sloan knows the content will make you sick, he knows it from a 3rd party who examined the phone.

    You are right- thank you for correcting me Rose. That said- I would like to know why the content was not provided via the request because this is a public official in the course of preforming their publicly elected function. I have used case law to receive similar e-communique that included the time to and from a public meeting, as well as “during”. Agreed he has inside contacts.
    B

  43. Rose says:

    Just preserving Sloan’s novel moral defense to the (pled) conviction before Masorti pulls the plug & gets this comment removed. He states he was merely procuring marijuana via the mail for his boss (Masorti) and his coworkers, generously gifting it.

    “….there is usually a reason people avoid the worst case scenario in sentencing on any given criminal case…..such as not a shred of physical evidence and the defendant taking a probationary plea to avoid a potential 7 years in prison………avoided jail time? It was never sought so how can It be avoided? Oh yeah, her office had nothing to do with the prosecution……..it was the OAG so there is no issue of “sour grapes” between that office and myself……I speak simply of what I know about having served 20 years in that office under one of the best and most popular prosecutors in the Commonwealth……….maybe jail time was not sought because the people that allegedly received the marijuana were never even charged to avoid losing an ongoing legal office concern……….there was never any marijuana seized, observed, tested, weighed and was obtained by the state of California where it is not illegal…such as several of our other states and soon to be decriminalized in the entire country. It was never alleged that I ever used it or profited by giving it to my boss and co-workers and would haven not only avoided jail time but would have avoided charges all together if I would have agreed to turn in my colleagues but that is not something I would ever do….I would rather take the fall than snitch on my friends, co-workers and colleagues……….In any event, if an entire law firm thought it was in their best interests admitting to obtaining the “alleged” marijuana while advertising that they are a great and effective law firms despite *****all of them using the drug*****…..alledgedly!”
    http://www.statecollege.com/mobile/news/local-news/centre-county-judge-district-attorney-accused-of-bias-unprofessional-relationship,1463092/

    True or not- he was in fact disbarred as a result. My personal thoughts on that is that Mr. Sloan has had a lengthy issue with dependency, and may have been on the books for an earlier bar issue. I don’t know anyone who did not think they would go to jail but would definitely lose their career and livelyhood by letting others avoid complicity just to not “rat out friends.”
    B

  44. Rose says:

    Sloan also just revealed, imo, Masorti’s motive to avoid having his golden affidavit investigated by the OAG.
    A strong motive to end run OAG with Bellefonte police & a BoC-appointed statutory special investigator.
    One wonders if Bellefonte police had done the mj investigation of Sloan if he ever would have been charged.

    It seems he could have avoided charges altogether if he told his truth … I did it for the boss & the office.
    apparently the OAG knew Masorti was knowledgeable of & partook in the proceeds of Sloan’s mail order mj.
    OAG just couldn’t prove it without Sloan’s testimony. So imo Masorti is on their prosecutorial radar. No way he’d want OAG vetting his employee’s affidavit.

    Garrett updated today at McGraw’s request, which zeroed out all comments including Sloan’s tizzy fits, a fragment of which is preserved above. http://www.statecollege.com/mobile/news/local-news/judge-denies-request-to-remove-da-from-rape-case-over-allegations-of-bias,1463107/

    Garrett should consider following up PSU with a Masters at Northwestern.
    300 texts over 60 days has been rewritten as “hundreds of…” sounding lurid.

    Texts are no longer texts, he calls them emails.

    He got J Williamson in the pic this tome, & his ruling, but missed the Blake crux which was the allegation of the Distr Judge Gillette’s (held the Prelim) texting data with the DA.

    fwiw McGraw had it right the Prelim shoukd be a redo, but at the redo, bail can change again.
    It seems to me what McGraw got with his sand kick was the Clinton Cty judge.
    —-
    CIOC is back to grandiose & amusing. Helps me to know due to Sloan that his boss is a consumer
    of brain food from Calif. The latest tack is asvocacy for a reduced prison population to be achieved by
    having far fewer prosecutors, and after all prosecutors are just misconduct magnets anyway, so
    diminishing their numbers is actually a social good. Whoever plays follow that leader considers lawlessness an improvement. For example, SS believes laws prohibiting mj shoukd be abolished. CIOC argues not only for fewer prosecutors, but for far fewer laws criminalizing behavior. (his arguments remind me of horse-loving Spink, Blink)

    Lol- you called that one.

    It is priceless that yesterday McGraw engineered Garrett erasing all Sloan’s public comments revealing he has read the Miller-Lunsford texts and revealing he just got that mj for his boss & coworkers. I suppose the originals can be found on the contracted out server Statecollege.com uses.

    My money is on JJ having them.

    CIOC draws commenters who feel they’ve received injustice in the halls of justice at the DA’s hands–that is, the losing end of a legal stick. This man’s comments were interesting referring to trouble in 2014 at the hands of not only the DA but 2 PA State troopers. I suppose his trouble did not resukt in charges as
    All I can see is this: http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2014/05/rep_mike_fleck_states_first_op.html
    He lost in the general election despite being a Repub running as a Dem.
    His Distr had been redrawn to include State College suburbs.

    Rose- any relation to Michelle? http://www.statecollege.com/mobile/news/local-news/christmas-thief-pleads-guilty-to-22-charges-will-spend-years-behind-bars,1463106/
