It is very murky from news reports what exactly that is all about. I thought the only one suing Penn State yet was Jay Paterno yet Sue Paterno seemed like the plaintiff. <br /><br />Given the secrecy, it's hard to tell if the settlement was a win for Penn State or the Paternos. Looks like maybe Penn State got the better deal because they got a NDA from the Paterno family all for an undisclosed settlement and a very weak repudiation of the Freeh Report.

I doubt that will happen or Shapiro would have alredy given a press conference announcing how he was outraged that grand jury secrecy was compromised and would get to the bottom of it.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that he didn't have the opportunity to face his accusers (those who complained). That said, the complaints were based on court records that speak for themselves.<br /><br />BTW, Fina called the complaint "fiction."<br /><br />http://web.archive.org/save/https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/breaking/former-state-prosecutor-defends-his-probe-of-penn-state-administrators-fina-sandusky-spanier-20180727.htmlRay Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-57980570484916655042020-02-23T08:09:04.569-05:002020-02-23T08:09:04.569-05:00Tim,
Thanks for your comments and questions.
The ...Tim,<br />Thanks for your comments and questions.<br /><br />The PA Disciplinary Board website does not make any references to statutes of limitations. Based on what just took place, Fina and Baldwin were disciplined for a complaint lodged in 2016 over their misdeeds five years earlier (in 2011). <br /><br />The January 2016 complaint arose from a judicial ruling that same month that exposed their misdeeds. <br /><br />http://notpsu.blogspot.com/2016/02/wendy-silverwood-files-complaint-aganst.html<br /><br />The aforementioned situation suggests that a complaint can be filed for prior acts as evidence becomes available. In the case of Spanier, the McChesney diary provides ample new evidence of misdeeds -- including that Fina was providing secret grand jury information to Freeh.<br />Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-71640229522381793532020-02-23T06:28:05.935-05:002020-02-23T06:28:05.935-05:00Is Fina's law license suspension put on hold i...Is Fina's law license suspension put on hold if he appeals to SCOTUS? It seems like it is a very long shot for SCOTUS to take such a minor case. <br /><br />Is there any statute of limitations for filing additional complaints against Fina and the rest?<br /><br />Too bad the news media didn't quote more from the actual decisions. There is a lot of juicy stuff there. They both got hammered.<br /><br />Fina decision:<br />http://www.pacourts.us/assets/opinions/DisciplinaryBoard/out/166DB2017-Fina.pdf<br /><br />Baldwin decision:<br />http://www.pacourts.us/assets/opinions/DisciplinaryBoard/out/151DB2017-Baldwin.pdf<br />Tim Bertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534135581401662154noreply@blogger.com
