Bold Black indicates erroneous or contradicted statement of Baldwin's. There are many.
Red type indicates important statements from Frank Fina.
The biggest news to come out of the proceeding was that Sandusky was accused of a sexual abuse in 1984. The OAG didn't find any police record of it. To date, few media outlets have done little more than make mention of it.
A full summary of the proceeding will appear in this space soon.
- RT Baldwin GJT, P14, L12,13: Baldwin says Spanier told her to go to GJ with him during Jan 2011 mtg. Spanier was not subpoenaed at the time.
- RT BaldwinGJT: P13, L11,12: Baldwin stated that RETIRED Gary Schultz was "on vacation" when she received the subpoena for his GJ appearance
@JmmyW CB said gathering of info back to 1997 was taking time, but would have it in 2 days. Corro tasked in March. S1179 was issued 12/11?@JmmyW Corro produced 3 USBs for CB. CB said one USB 2b provided on 4/15. Possible one was provided on 4/13/11 of just Spanier's e-mails.@JmmyW If e-mails were due Jan 10 & CB didn't file motion to quash, where was GJ Contempt motion? Something fishy here?- Sassano trial testimony: "And Penn State...was not very quick in getting us our information." Ref. Sub. 191 for names of janitors.

@wensilver@ProtectPAKids Acc to Baldwin GJ testimony, Sandusky eluded arrests in 1984 & 1998 after he was reported. Laws r not the problem@JmmyW All this background was in response to CB's oral motion to quash - rationale for far reaching subpoenas for emails.- Spanier, COL, P15, L1-4: Fina mentioned masked comments & metaphors in emails, indicating OAG had the e-mails prior to April 2011.

@rayblehar But I do imagine she was involved in compiling the list of people aware of this subpoena on 3/1/2010 (Freeh p.82, note 382 p.154)@rayblehar And even though Baldwin didn't start until 2/15/2011, she was never asked about this subpoena in her GJ testimony@rayblehar It seems Horvath, as VP in charge of HR, would've seen 1/7/2010 subpoena for Sandusky personnel records. (Freeh p.82)

What's remarkable to me is that Baldwin was Chair of PSU BoT until becoming PSU General Counsel. And she held that position from, I believe, Jan 2010 to summer 2012.
ReplyDeleteThis is entirely too convenient timing. To think her positions, and the privileged access they gave her to info, were not intentionally related to the Sandusky case is not possible for me.
What struck me was how Judge Feudale was so friendly with Baldwin that he addressed her as Cindy in a formal proceedings. That seemed inappropriate.
ReplyDeleteThen after he asked Cindy whom she was there to represent he did nothing when Cindy answered solely to represent Penn State.
Feudale should have informed Spanier that he would have to reschedule after he found a lawyer to represent him and informed Cindy that she could not attend the grand jury hearing just as a representative of Penn State.
