The Legal Intelligencer's Max Mitchell reports on the defenses being raised by the three ex-Penn State administrators charged with covering up Jerry Sandusky's sexual abuse: "The defendants, former university President Graham Spanier, ex-vice president for business and finance Gary Schultz and ex-athletic director Tim Curley, contended in the filings that what they view as [ex-GC Cynthia] Baldwin's murky role led to deprivation of counsel, violations of grand jury secrecy and breach of attorney-client privilege."
According to The Legal, the defendants also argue, when Baldwin accompanied them to their grand jury appearances, that Baldwin had a conflict of interest and that the prosecutors committed misconduct by not ensuring Baldwin was not conflicted. Baldwin later testified against them in grand jury proceedings.
