Penn State ex-president argues conviction properly tossed

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A federal appeals court is considering whether a judge ruled properly last year when she overturned the child endangerment conviction of former Penn State president Graham Spanier. The appeals court on Tuesday focused on whether Spanier was wrongly convicted under a 2007 for how he handled a report from underlings about Jerry Sandusky showering naked and alone with a boy in 2001. Prosecutors want to overturn the lower court’s ruling, which gave them three months to retry Spanier. The three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals didn’t indicate when it might rule.
