Judges eye legality of grand jury process in Penn State case

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- The criminal case against three former Penn State administrators is in the hands of an appeals court that will decide whether it should go forward.

The judges heard arguments today about defense claims the men's rights to legal representation were violated during secret grand jury proceedings.

A ruling in favor of the state attorney general's office could clear the way for trial on charges the men engaged in a criminal cover-up of child sex abuse complaints about former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
