A judge has shot down a continuing challenge from attorneys for Pepper Hamilton and Penn State in the lawsuit filed by the estate of Joe Paterno.
Potter County Senior Judge John Leete, specially presiding over the case in Centre County Court, handed down an order that dismissed the claims of attorney-client privilege and work product that the university and the law firm have made for months.
Pepper Hamilton, the firm that merged with Freeh, Sporkin and Sullivan after former FBI director Louis Freeh delivered his university-commissioned investigation of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, was ordered to deliver requested discovery documents within 30 days of the judge’s directive, dated Tuesday.
