‘The three men going to jail discussed this issue with her on multiple occasions, while under the impression that they had a lawyer-client relationship with her, and that she was their advocate.’
well, you know what they say; ignorance is no excuse...
That was not my point.
From memory, the University legal counsel was a Black female, and she could have been charged with the same crimes as the three men she testified against.
But no charges were filed against her, and, as far as I know, the state Bar took no action against her, either.
Also, the state had to drop at least one charge against the three men because she was a University attorney.
Bottom Line - the three men were charged and convicted because they were senior executives.
McQueary got $12 million for testifying against them.
The staff lawyer avoided prosecution and kept her law license by testifying against them.
And the anonymous shower victim, who, as I recall, never testified under oath against anybody, but who received a multi-million dollar insurance payment, also helped to enrage the jury that convicted former Penn State President Spanier of a misdemeanor.
