PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A lawyer for ousted Penn State President Graham Spanier attacked the university-sanctioned report on the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal Wednesday, calling it a "blundering and indefensible indictment" of the long-time school leader.

Defense lawyer Timothy Lewis called Louis Freeh, who had served as both FBI director and a federal judge before leading the investigation that produced the report, a "biased investigator" who piled speculation on top of innuendo to reach pre-formed conclusions.

Lewis's remarks come at a press conference in downtown Philadelphia designed to address Freeh's accusations that Spanier helped Penn State cover up complaints about Sandusky in 1998 and 2001. Sandusky was convicted this year of sexually assaulting 10 boys and awaits sentencing.

Spanier, who has not been charged in the case, was not at the news conference.

1. Seems to me

This bunch of idiots would do and say anything to save their sorry hides. What about all of the kids involved here. Spainer and the rest of the PSU bunch only care about themselves and I hope they all lose their jobs and go to prison.
