A Pennsylvania appeals court on Friday threw out obstruction charges against three former Penn State officials accused of trying to hamper the child molestation case against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, court documents show.

Ex-Penn State President Graham Spanier, former athletic director Timothy Curley and former university vice president Gary Schultz still have to answer charges of child endangerment and failure to report suspected child abuse, following the Pennsylvania Superior Court's decision.

Quashing the obstruction and conspiracy charges, the court ruled that former university lawyer Cynthia Baldwin had breached attorney-client privilege when she testified to a grand jury in 2012 about the three men and what she believed they knew about the abuse allegations.

Attorneys for the three accused had argued that Baldwin's testimony fundamentally tainted the case against them.

1. Oh. Its not that the charges were proven false

Its just that their lawyer "screwed up".

And you wonder why so many people think about conspiracy so much?

Still, the judge's decision has nothing to do with the actual physical acts Sandusky performed. So that's something.

2. Yep-there certainly is a pattern here in the HOMELAND when it comes to child raping by some elites

It is pure evil. The Sandusky case has connections with the Larry E. King networks continuing the Franklin Credit cover-up, which is not a theory. K&R.
