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.

    Centre Daily put up the recent uproarously funny Jon Oliver interview of Snowden.

    It seems the Commissioner’s actions are nothing more than NSA Domestic activities on a local micro level surveilling threats like Miller, Grine & Gillette.

    Segment clip is on CDT at:
    http://www.centredaily.com/2015/04/06/4688031/john-oliver-edward-snowden-have.html

    3:10 ff (Obama spot) the intelligence agencies get phone nos & duration, not names & content

    14:40 Snowden interview starts ( tho he’s an hour late)

    30:15 says nsa has a record of one phone number calling another & its duration

    The BOCs may argue, if you have the text capability, why not use it against domestic political enemies? say those whose morals we dislike?

    Which brings to mind, Dershem & Exarchos needed 2 things: the legal idea (which imo came from Glantz) and the technological comfort in designing the sought-after product. That IT consulting business man, the twitter follower of Shutt, could have supplied the latter.

  2. Rose says:

    actually snowden began slightly before 14:00.

    I am struck that the intelligence agencies & the
    Commissioners have sought exactly the same data,
    phone nos & duration.

  3. Rose says:

    After watching the Oliver spot multiple times for laughs, it seems comforting that if Boob & Miller, or Lunsford & Miller, share dick pics, the BoC and criminal defense attorneys are on the job and have the ability to go after & publicize that content (after motioning a Court to get content due to the fact 2 phone nos. were in contact on the day of a criminal trial hearing during working hours.)

  4. Rose says:

    Garrett has just pumped out 3 articles, here’s one:
    http://www.statecollege.com/mobile/news/local-news/centre-county-commissioners-hire-right-to-know-attorney,1463504/

    Who is surprised by Glantz hiring friend Craig, the GC for the lobbyist RTK organization whose focus (and funding) has been assisting press & media to “get it all,” for he originally gave the County the advice to loosen their fetters and send out the phone nos. So in a sense CC is paying him to cover his own ass. Iirc his law firm oractice is not in the RTK field. I wish there were a Penn. SNL to spoof the County scene. Given the cost to the County, it is clear the Cty Admin shoukd have denied the phone release, citing statute exceptions & faulty process, & let Cantorna appeal. The peobkem js Boyde ket himself be used politically by Glantz, Exarchos, & Dershem rather than acting like an administrator. For that he should be forced into his 2nd retirement & new eyes be hired who will tell politicos when to back off.

    PFUR’s request is interesting & imo will be granted based on the precedent of the teachers’ union loss where a County was forced by PFUR to provide all teacher addresses. Imo that lower tier swing vote judge was a self-important fool.

  5. Rose says:

    Lawyer Craig is hardly going to give detached professional advice to the BoC and Glantz. He is an extreme one-sided org orofessional lobbyist who will not give disinterested legal advice. Centre Cty shoukd not be his issue hibby horse. The taxpayer apathy, indifference, and lack of knowledge about the BoC’s activities & judgement is appalling. I put it down to no independent educated press with any indepth inquiry & analysis. It is a harsh pov, but these articles are halfway between the Sears catalog and a pulp mill for use as BoC CYA toilet paper.

  6. Rose says:

    Continuing my Sandusky thread almost soliloquy (why not?), I am appreciative of Castor the Good:
    “”There is already in place a procedure to challenge in court an ARD denial and has been for decades,” Castor says. “…I wonder why no motion [for reconsideration of the denied ARD applications] was filed in the cases cited”

    http://www.statecollege.com/mobile/news/local-news/defense-attorneys-allege-retaliation-ask-court-to-remove-da-from-case,1463511/

    Just like Cantorna filed no appeal citing bias on the child abuse conviction.

    Blake is a violent rapist (kind of an Arias type) who, when proven & adjudicated, should never have an ARD.

    However these cases seeking to remove the DA are going befire County judges who have also been initimidated & publically vilified (at least 3 have) by these attorneys, consequently intimidating the election-dependant others, like the now silenced Lunsford.

    The campaign of intimidation against election-dependent County judges by Cantorna & McGraw who in multiple cases have no hope of prevailing on the merits has been at the heart of this.

    They filed no motions for reconsideration for the ARD to at least preserve the record? They know Blake would never qualify for an ARD- as it was Madeira was way out of line granting LEE his where there was a victim to the actor. To this day I still believe that is why he gave up his law license and why the gentleman who beat Lee out of the rep seat is intending to draft legislation regarding same. This just looks like romper room extortion to me. These baffoons, if they indeed had a legitimate beef, and in my view they very well may have at least in those 152 texts over a few days, are hurting their position for remedy and/or taken seriously and Castor hints at it. Shubin et al are privately retained, correct? They do not have any PD rotations?
    B

  7. Rose says:

    come to think of it, silencing criminal bench Lunsford was a critical first step last Fall.
    Imo Kistler jumped thru his hoop expectably, as a promotion-ambitious politico. Pity he
    didn’t get that 10-month promotion (reward), removing him from CC.

  8. Rose says:

    my theory is McGraw has gone so far, either Blake was his high school best friend, or,
    Blake has something on him. Shubin is in it iirc as it is his firm, & McGraw his hired associate
    employee, not partner. And of course it gives the dear man PUBLICITY.

  9. Rose says:

    Blake has not gone to trial. His legal position is awaiting arraignment (to add the rape charge).
    Looks like McGraw is afraid to let a Judge rule even on charges.

    Well then he sought ARD prior to the rape charge and why is it being added at arraignment- I can see the pause there. A better question is why anyone would hire these two in the middle of this mess? Who thinks anyone is going to essentially cooperate with them right now?
    B

  10. Rose says:

    Because McGraw didn’t like the first arraignment outcome with Judge Gillette-Walker who allowed the rape charge.
    He took that outcome to an out of County judge to get a redo on the grounds of Judge’s G-W’a phone contacts with SPM (2 the day of the hearing re a busted ankle or something (spm notice it in Courthouse). That is how McGraw entered the RTK fray.

  11. Rose says:

    actually Blake’s 1st judge & phone rtk with McGraw were Lunsford-SPM, then it moved on
    to Gillette-Walker. Now goodness knows what judge, maybe still out of county. Maybe wimpy politico
    Kistler will be the Last Man standing amongst criminal judges.

    wrt latest BoC attorney hired this week:

    ““This decision allows our staff that are still working with Right to Know requests to make sure we’re dotting our I’s and crossing our T’s,” commissioner Michael Pipe said.

    http://www.statecollege.com/mobile/news/local-news/centre-county-commissioners-hire-right-to-know-attorney,1463504/

    really naive of pipes to hire a single issue lobby firm repr just because he’s an attorney of some sort, and FOG (friend of Glantz).

    BoC should have hired an expert in litigating State statutes (Admin law).

    I hope the Dem running for BoC in addition to Pipes sends Pipes off to grad school or his first postcollege job.

  12. Rose says:

    iirc Blake hired McGraw prior to McGraw’s first phone records rtk gambit with Lunsford & SPM prior to Kunsford being removed for same. Then McGraw moved on to Gillette-Walker trying for no 2. And just got a new bite at the arraignment apple, whikeSPM’s removal was refused by out of County judge. So, now he’s going fir a 3rd attempt alleging SPM’s pleadings substantiate a conflict of interest with ANY McGraw client. I hope his ADA termination was due to being fired for cause.

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

    @Rose, even Sloane’s latest comments have indicated that the county is in violation of the RTK laws.

    Not a lawyer, but the fact that they just hired at $400 an hour, what we like to call the Arnie Becker rate (kidding, but funny) I tend to agree. That said, they are going about this the wrong way if ultimately to be admissible ( for misconduct ex parte) is their goal.
    Wonder how the AG probe is coming along.

    Former Centre County prosecutor lands new job
    Friday, January 16, 2009 12:00 am

    Former Centre County Assistant District Attorney Lance Marshall began work as a private attorney at a local law firm Wednesday, a State College lawyer said.

    Marshall’s hiring by Masorti & Sullivan, P.C. comes less than a month after he resigned from the Centre County District Attorney’s office amid allegations of inappropriate contact with a domestic abuse victim.

    Philip Masorti, a State College attorney, said he feels fortunate to have Marshall at his firm

    “I take full responsibility for my actions,” Sloane told Jonathan Grine. “I should have known better.”

    Sloane was a Centre County prosecutor until January 2010, when then-newly elected District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller took office and made staff changes that included letting Sloane go.

    Sloane had worked at Masorti & Sullivan for four months in 2011, but he was terminated when the firm learned of the criminal investigation.

  17. Rose says:

    @JJinPhila. To me Sloan’s latest rblings devolve to the incoherentz
    And, he seems to have deteriorated over the last 6-8 months. One
    thing he threw in was CC has defined no RTK officer & process. That
    is not true. I posted here links to CC’s RTK online notices which cloned other
    Counties and identified Boyde, and the State listing that he is Agent,
    giving his email & address. It is up to the applicant to appeal if denied. I
    believe he said no one has been denied. Trying to understand his screed,

    I believe part of his present anger was no one has been denied such that it can be
    appealed to Harrisburg. Actually iirc appeals for DAs rtk officer decisions go to someone in that
    same office in other counties, in links I posted. So it seems Boyde is obeying his injunctions wrt the 2 judges
    and those involve SPM & Boob as well, so at present Boyde has earned Sloane’s wrath. Sloan really has it
    in for Boob. I wonder why SPM terminated Sloane immediately on taking office. That cost his health insurance.

  18. Rose says:

    my proofreading is pretty rambling & incoherent too, sorry

  19. erose says:

    Gricar’s gang – Sloane and Marshall end up at Masorti & [insert applicable partner]. Madeira got rid of Arnold, and Madeira seemed to cover for Marshall’s antics. SPM got rid of Sloane and Kuebler and kept Boob and Smith.

    Arnold’s statement after her GJ testimony is that there is info the GJ ignored. Now Sandusky gets his final appeal presented in judges chambers, sealed at the request of HIS attorney, so I assume it’s not to protect the victims.

  20. erose says:

    Sloane & Madeira working at Penn State.

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

    @Rose, Sloane was actually criticizing the commissioners in his latest.

    Sloane had health problems and had missed about 50% of the time in Madeira’s last year. They were legitimate health problems.

  22. Rose says:

    Sloane too? erose

  23. Rose says:

    I suggested Madeira got the “interim” Global Programs job right after the head of that PSU’s Dept’s son got arrested & arraigned on serious charges in CC. Maybe a quid pro quo for backseat advice or pull or “coaching”?

  24. Rose says:

    Good point erose that maybe it’s that very GJ (exculpatory?) testimony
    now under consideration. It sounds like a Hail Mary pass filed the day before post-sentencing review opp expired.

    wrt Madiera “got rid of Arnold…” She didthe crimes against women–DV & rape–and sex crimes like Sandusky, did she not? And those are the very crime categories concerning Cantorna, McGraw, Masorti now in these rtk attempts to get the DA & certain 3 judges off their clients’ cases or intimidate them. A successful attempt when Madeira took over to jettison a tough, capable, & the only seasoned female prosecutor on this type case. And now, with a new one in town, they’re at it again. I’m asking how close in 2005 when he took over as DA, Madeira was to Cantorna, Masorti, & McGraw (the latter was then doing crim defense before his ADA hire).

  25. Rose says:

    Yes, JJinPhila, serious health problems not of his making. I feel sorry for him, but I suggest his pain “treatment”- since that injury — marijuana & ? — may have led to a serious cognitive decline, a judgement I make based only on his often incoherant writing style & concrete thought processes.

    @Rose, If it were exculpatory I would think Sandusky team would want it in open court. I’m thinking someone’s reputation is at stake.

    Madeira said he and Arnold have philosophical differences, which was his primary reason for not reappointing her. Madeira said he informed Arnold of his decision Jan. 3, 2005, during his first day as district attorney.

    Madeira said he became aware of his differences with Arnold throughout the 2005 campaign and through discussions with court personnel and police officers.

    “I’ve said all along that there were philosophical differences on how to run an office and how to prosecute,” he said.

    Masorti on Gricar, “I don’t think he’s dead.”:

    snip>

    Others are just as resigned, or perplexed. As Sloane, Gricar’s former assistant, discussed the case Wednesday in his State College law office, his law partner Phil Masorti bounded into the room and the conversation – proof that the debate still ripples through legal and political circles in central Pennsylvania.

    Masorti, a defense lawyer, gushed about Gricar as a brilliant and principled district attorney who honed his trial skills as a young prosecutor in Cleveland but who traded that for a quieter role in Happy Valley when his first wife landed a job at Penn State.

    Masorti insisted Gricar was “intellectually capable” of disappearing without a trace and might have arranged it to confound locals who did not always belong in his league.

    Or not. Masorti started rationalizing a Gricar suicide, then pivoted and suggested checking the federal Witness Protection Program.

    “You don’t think he’s dead, do you?” he pressed Sloane, adding, “I don’t think he’s dead.”

  34. erose says:

    “This is not about the money,” Cantorna said. “This is about holding those people accountable.” The suit alleges that several times Marshall told the woman that he’d get her fiance out of jail, as she wanted, if she had sex with him.

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

    Madeira got the job at PSU several years after he left office. Prior to taking office, he was a Deputy PA AG, handling the district. There was no connection with Masorti to which I am aware.

    Sloane had his accident under Gricar (I think a broken back), to the extent that he was off work when Gricar disappeared.

    A number of people up there think Gricar left voluntarily (including Sloane).

    I don’t think Keubler was involved with Sandusky..

    @Blink, JKA was pretty adamant that, in 2006, I had a pipeline into the DA’s Office. I didn’t. She also thought there would be a problem with the Sandusky trial itself and there was not.

    Keubler was, loosely, but she was. I will take the challenge to back to back that up but I am rainman on names.

    I saw that about JKA. Because of a commitment to confidentiality all I can say is that I found Ms. Arnold to be circumlocutory and fundibular in contrast to her stated opinions on Gricar.

    And I will say that a lovely woman bearing her same name answered my call with class and eloquence- she gets that a lot, lol.

    Hardly. The “philosophical differences” on “how to prosecute” mean Plea Out, ARD, drop charges versus Go to Trial & get maximum sentence. Madeira former, Arnold latter. making Madeira an heroic figure to criminal defense attorneys. Someone posted here Gricar rued the impact of politics on his work, which I interpret to mean he was more Madeira-type & did not hesitate to take a case like Sandusky over from Arnold as needed.

    It sounds like Sloane was in the Gricar/Madeira litigation philosophy stream, a likely reason SPM terminated him.

    D…, I love legal genius.
    Masorti’s minions are all a-lather because Grine has sworn in Castor the Good
    (on several levels) as a Special DA to prosecute cases where defense objects to
    SPM, Boob or others based on the fact McGraw et al claim her pleadings present a conflict of interest
    with her specifically. From the frying pan to the fire. That means Blake will get a promot & speedy trial on rape, burglary, etc.
    —–
    Moreover, the BoC will have to hire another lawyer & spend big money litigating the next one. Their RTK hire
    is advisory to Boyde. Unfortunately, Glantz & tge BoC having brought Centre County to the attention of someone who fixates as strongly as a paranoid schiz on his object, the BoC are guaranteed to face multiple lawsuits on a variety of causes of action the moment Boyde denies PFUR any employee’s address, much less Court personnel. Sir Simon sues broadly & doggedly, as surely as any Borderline would. If I were the BoC, I’d propose buying Glantz out of his contract with the County and hire another Solicitoryesterday. And would not cover his legal fees. Maintaining his own ins should have been a contract term.

    you think Lou’s gonna cherrypick the hapless Kistler again? I don’t see where to County Solicitor
    (imo a co-conspirator with a conflict of interest in legal proceedings–has any standing, nor does the BoC, to object to any Special Prosecutor appointed to handle certain criminal cases.

    WTH is with these people?
    I am a big Castor fan- legally speaking.

    @JJinPhila. criminal conspiracy works. But I think a legal solution has been found to prevent McGraw, McShane, Masorti, & Cantorna from wholly disabling the criminal justice process in CC, sidelining the entire DA staff & 3 judges at a minimum. If it worked we kniw all serious crimes charged woukd flock to these 4 law practices & much of the Crim Court business would be tried out of County. A Special Prosecutor, a seasoned DA ethically beyond reproach in hus career, is such an elegant solution.

    We know at a minimum on deposition there will be testimony there
    was joint collaboration between Glantz & Cantorna before tge first rtk requests,
    and between Masorti, Shutt, & McGraw–from the start–wrt the forgery.
