Has anyone had the time to wade through this and provide an executive summary based on facts...not the Freeh version executive summary?
I can attempt to break it down further a bit later on, but I read through all 90 pages during my lunch break this afternoon, and I can't see any of Sandusky's claims succeeding in light of the Commonwealth's arguments. In my opinion, if PCRA motions are Hail Mary passes as a last ditch effort for convicted persons, this one was not only intercepted but returned for a touchdown.
You may be right, but we've heard dire predictions before that turned out to be inaccurate.
That was for Pepper Hamilton (Freeh) to produce documents in the Paterno case and the deadline was sometime in August. Since we haven't heard of any appeal, I would think that the Paterno team should be in possession of the documents they requested at this point, but I'm just a layman.
I have heard that the attorneys have the records.
From my layman's eyes, it looks like Pepper Hamilton is trying to prevent the Paterno lawyers from sharing info with their clients before the trial. Seems unreasonable to me if the findings from discovery are relevant to the lawsuit. Furthermore, the info will likely come out at trial anyway, so the attempted secrecy is not going to help Pepper Hamilton/Freeh much.
Anyone, this document does confirm that the Paterno lawyers received the materials that Freeh was fighting the release of, so that's a win.
