Superior Court Judges To Decide If Case Against Former Penn State Officials Proceeds
By Tony Romeo
HARRISBURG, Pa. (CBS) -- A panel of Superior Court judges will decide if the case against three former Penn State officials accused of covering up the Jerry Sandusky scandal will move forward. The judges heard arguments in the case today.
Former Penn State President Graham Spanier and two other former administrators, Gary Schultz and Tim Curley, are charged with perjury and other offenses for their actions related to the Sandusky scandal.
Lawyers for the three men took turns arguing before a Superior Court panel that there was confusion about their clients' legal representation when they appeared before a grand jury.
After the proceeding, attorneys representing the trio – including Curley's attorney Caroline Roberto – declined to elaborate on their courtroom arguments.
"But I will say that I think we have had a fair hearing. I think the court understood all of our issues, and asked very incitive questions, and I think now we just wait."
The judges could rule in several ways, including dismissal of at least some charges or disqualifying certain evidence.
