Spanier Avoids Jailtime?


There was a discussion a couple weeks ago about whether or not Curley and Schultz could seek to have their convictions overturned if Spanier's appeal is ultimately successful. To me it seemed any efforts would be a waste of time since they had voluntarily plead and were sentenced UNLESS some information came to light which could show nefarious activity on the part of the OAG. Well................

I don't know if Porndog Fina would be their ticket or not since Curley and Schultz would likely need to clear a very high bar.

"These actions are inexcusable.... and cannot go unpunished, particularly when undetaken by a prosecutor serving the public interest."

Oh I see. So there is a Consitution. You just have to have your life ruined and be bled dry and shat upon by the entire country for almost a decade, and then it kicks in.
 
FWIW: I believe that as a matter of procedure, that recommendation goes to the PA Supreme Court for validation (or not).

I can't say that for 100% certainty, but I think that is the case (and I may not be using the precise legal terms)



If that is indeed the case, these are the folks who will pass judgement (take it for what its worth):

IIRC, Saylor (the Chief Justice of the PSC) was the guy who sent Feudale packing (the guy involved in the Grand Juries way back when - and a buddy of Frank Fina). If that is right (and someone can correct if wrong) that is not good news for Frank Fina.

As elected judges,I hope these Supreme Court judges take note of what happened to one term Tommy when he shat on PSU alumns and fans.
 
I guess we should expect news on the Shapiro appeal very soon. The Commonwealth's 90 day window to retry Spanier is Monday.

Maybe...I’m not certain. The Commonwealth has the option to try for a new trial or appeal the ruling. They chose the latter and are supposed to present oral arguments so I’m not sure the 90 window applies anymore since they signaled their intent.

Thanks @didier . I guess that means it could be later today or at some point next year ;)

You may well be right and some kind of deadline is coming up next week...but yeah I think this will get dragged out for a while unfortunately.
