HARRISBURG — A lawyer for Graham Spanier argued to a Pennsylvania appeals court Wednesday that too much time had passed for the former Penn State president to be charged with endangering the welfare of children over his handling of a complaint about Jerry Sandusky.
A three-judge Superior Court panel heard oral argument about whether to vacate or uphold the misdemeanor guilty verdict issued last year against the 69-year-old Spanier.
He was found criminally liable for his response to a 2001 report that former assistant football coach Sandusky had been seen sexually abusing a boy in a team shower.
