Penn State Scandal: More Questions From Prosecutors After A Secret Sandusky Briefing
Some scandals just seem to have no end.
Apparently, as disclosed by Penn State President Rodney Erickson, the Penn State Board of Trustees received a “briefing” on the Sandusky Grand Jury investigation three months before Sandusky was arrested. The briefing was allegedly conducted by former PSU President Graham Spanier before he resigned after much criticism of his handling of this incident.
Now, you can take a wild guess on how many non-law enforcement individuals should be “briefed” on secret grand jury proceedings? If you answered “zero”, you are right.
The result, in part, of this bizarre briefing of the PSU Trustees is that a “re-interviewing” process has now begun of Penn State “staffers” by the State Attorney General’s office. Once again, prosecutors will be asking who knew what about Sandusky’s alleged crimes and when did they really find out. In addition, prosecutors will be investigating to determine when Penn State officials “got their stories together” after an improper briefing about what might have been said in the grand jury.
Once again, not good.
