HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The supervising judge for the grand jury that investigated former Penn State administrators in their handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal says the criminal case against them needs to move forward.
Judge Barry Feudale said in an order released Tuesday that continued delay of the case against Graham Spanier, Gary Schultz and Tim Curley isn't in the interest of justice.
Feudale is giving prosecutors three days to challenge his decision to unseal motions by Schultz and Curley that sought to have a grand jury report against them thrown out.
A spokesman for the attorney general's office and a lawyer for Schultz had no immediate comment. A message left for Curley's defense team wasn't immediately returned.
Schultz and Curley have faced charges since late 2011, Spanier since last November. |

GREENSBORO, (AP) — A woman accused of beating a Guilford County high school teacher has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the incident.
The News & Record of Greensboro reports 19-year-old Khavasia Vaughn was sentenced to between 16 months and 29 months in prison after pleading guilty Monday to misdemeanor assault on a government official and felony assault causing serious bodily injury.
As part of Vaughn's plea deal, a charge of communicating threats was dropped.
Assistant District Attorney Chris Parrish said Vaughn became upset after math teacher Wole Ajala sent her out of the classroom for taking off her shoes last September and refusing to put them back on.
Parrish said Ajala lost five teeth, lost hearing in his left ear and suffered a concussion, among other injuries. |

HILLSBOROUGH, (AP) — A judge has delayed the resentencing for one of two men convicted in the 2008 death of University of North Carolina Chapel Hill president Eve Carson.
Twenty-two-year-old Laurence Alvin Lovette went before an Orange County judge Friday.
Judge Allen Baddour delayed the hearing until June because an expert witness was unavailable.
The state Court of Appeals ordered that Lovette be resentenced after a U.S. Supreme Court decision. The high court ruled that an automatic life sentence without parole is unconstitutional if the defendant was under age 18 at the time of the crime.
Lovette was 17 when Carson was killed. He was convicted of premeditated murder, kidnapping and robbery.
The Athens, Ga., woman was abducted from her apartment and killed after the men used her debit card to get cash. |

RALEIGH, (AP) — Some North Carolina lawmakers and advocates want to require schools to keep a supply of epinephrine pens to treat potentially life-threatening allergic reactions.
A House bill approved by the Education Committee on Tuesday would require all public, charter and regional schools to keep at least two epinephrine pens on hand to be administered by trained personnel.
Epinephrine injectors are widely used to treat severe reactions caused by food allergens. If not promptly treated, those reactions can be fatal. Studies show many children first discover food allergies at school.
Rep. Tom Murry of Morrisville says manufacturer Mylan Specialty L.P. offers up to four pens free and a discount program for schools wanting additional supplies. Murry says costs will be minimal.
The bill goes to the House floor next. |
