The Latest: Defense lawyer helped Penn St. draft statement

Penn State's former general counsel says days before two high-ranking administrators were charged over their handling of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal, the school's then-president let the men's defense lawyers help edit a statement he later issued that voiced his full support for the administrators.

Cynthia Baldwin testified Tuesday in the trial of a civil lawsuit by former assistant football coach Mike McQueary, who claims the news release made it appear he lied to police and prosecutors about his response to seeing Jerry Sandusky abuse a boy.

McQueary claims the school put him on paid leave and then didn't renew his contract in retaliation for reporting that Jerry Sandusky abused a child in a team shower, and for helping prosecutors convict him.
