HARRISBURG, Pa. — A Pennsylvania appeals court said Wednesday it would not reconsider its recent decision throwing out some of the most serious criminal charges against three former Penn State administrators related to their handling of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
Superior Court posted an order denying the attorney general’s office’s petition for re-argument in the case of former university president Graham Spanier, former vice president Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley. Lawyers for all three men declined comment, and a spokesman for the prosecutors said the decision was under review.
The attorney general’s office could seek an appeal to the state Supreme Court, or press forward for trial on the remaining counts in county court in Harrisburg.
