Yesterday more drama has erupted from the courts revealing that Penn State University's ex-president Graham Spanier was convicted after escaping charges a year ago. It was almost exactly a year ago when Jerry Sandusky, Tim Curley, and Gary Schultz were indicted; which has cause incredible turmoil and hardship for the university. The states attorney general Linda Kelly both extended and tighten her noose with bold new criminal charges backed by sickening new information. Spanier was indicted on eight different criminal charges which just brings more shame to the Penn State University's name. The new information is almost as disturbing to read as Sandusky's initial acts. Kelly always maintained the case was an ongoing investigation and said additional documents and witnesses came forward over the last year. That included material from Penn State, which she said was non-compliant to requests and a subpoena until after the initial indictments were handed down, Spanier and company were removed from power and the school's board of trustees demanded all employees comply with the investigation. If you've followed all the scandals that has came out of Penn State this past year, and you know how prestigious of a University it was; then you know how devastating it was to this school and everyone associated with it. Hopefully in the next couples years they can start to get back on the right track and rejuvenate their school to once again be one of the most prestigious University in the nation.
