PHILADELPHIA — The most outspoken voice on Penn State’s board of trustees is supporting the critique of the Freeh report offered by the legal team for former university President Graham Spanier.

“I can’t agree with the conclusions that he’s reached,” said newly elected trustee Anthony Lubrano about the $6.5 million report that concluded that senior leaders, including Spanier, concealed allegations that Jerry Sandusky was abusing young boys in campus facilities. “I personally could not reach the conclusion there was a concealment to avoid bad publicity.”

A team of four attorneys for Spanier announced their critique during a news conference at a Philadelphia law firm. The lead attorney, former federal judge and prosecutor Tim Lewis, called the Freeh report a “blundering and indefensible indictment” of Spanier.

Lubrano, who lives in suburban Philadelphia, said he attended the news conference because he has an obligation to Penn State. Lubrano has been a critic of the way Penn State responded to the charges against Sandusky in November and the subsequent firing of former head coach Joe Paterno.

Like Spanier’s team, he said the Freeh report is flawed because those investigators did not talk to some of the main characters in the case, such as Mike McQueary, who witnessed the 2001 incident, or Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, who were told about the incident in 2001 and were charged with lying to a grand jury about what they knew about it.

Lubrano said it’s dangerous to “leap to conclusions” the Freeh report has made.
