The trial for a case involving the former Penn State team doctor and his allegations against coach James Franklin was delayed Monday after a statement from a defense attorney to the jury prompted the judge to declare a mistrial.
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Scott Lynch sued in August 2019, about six months after being removed as football team orthopedic physician and director of athletic medicine at Penn State, a position he had held since 2014.
Lynch said the removal was retaliation for having complained about Franklin. According to a revised complaint filed in 2021, on "multiple and repeated occasions, Coach James Franklin attempted to interfere with the plaintiff's autonomous authority to determine medical management and return-to-play decisions related to student-athletes.
