Judge sets March trial for three Penn State ex-administrators

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Penn State's former president and two other ex-administrators learned Wednesday they will go to trial next month, nearly six years after the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal first became public.

Judge John Boccabella set jury selection for March 20 in the criminal trial of former university president Graham Spanier, former vice president Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley.

All three are charged with endangering the welfare of children.

Boccabella threw out charges of failing to properly report suspected abuse, ruling that the statute of limitations had expired.

But he denied a slew of other defense motions, including requests that all charged be thrown out.
