PennState GC Had Muddled Role During Sandusky Grand Jury Probe

The Legal Intelligencer's Max Mitchell reports that grand jury documents show that it was unclear whether Cynthia Baldwin, the former general counsel for Penn State, represented the institution or three former university administrators in a grand jury probe into convicted serial sex-abuser Jerry Sandusky. For example, "according to the transcripts of grand jury proceedings from April 13, 2011, before former university President Graham Spanier was brought out to testify regarding his awareness of allegedly reported incidents of sexual assault committed by former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, Baldwin indicated to the judge that she represented 'the university solely.' However, when Spanier took the stand less than an hour later, he identified Baldwin as his counsel."
