HARRISBURG, Pa. —
An ex-Penn State University attorney is at the center of the latest dispute in the prosecution of two former PSU administrators.
Attorneys for former Vice President Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley claim testimony by former Penn State general counsel Cynthia Baldwin would violate attorney-client privilege.
Shultz and Curley are accused of covering up child sex abuse by former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, and their attorneys said Baldwin should not be permitted to testify at their hearing on Dec. 13.
Baldwin's grand jury testimony is considered a key piece of evidence for the commonwealth to support allegations that Schultz, Curley and former school President Graham Spanier tried to cover up Sandusky's abuse.
But defense lawyers say both Schultz and Curley believed Baldwin was acting as their attorney, so her testimony would violate the attorney-client privilege and prosecutors cannot call her to testify against them.
Sandusky is serving at least 30 years for abusing 10 boys, some on Penn State's campus.
