An expert in grand jury proceedings testified Tuesday that former Penn State University general counsel Cynthia Baldwin violated attorney-client privilege and failed to competently represent three top officials at the school during the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse investigation.
Philadelphia-area attorney David Rudovsky was the first witness called Tuesday as part of the Office of Disciplinary Counsel’s case before the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board against Ms. Baldwin for professional misconduct. The case is being heard in an Allegheny County Orphans’ Court courtroom in the Frick Building Downtown.
If the panel finds that Ms. Baldwin violated the rules, it can recommend to the state Supreme Court discipline ranging from reprimand to disbarment. The court can then accept the recommendation, reject it or change it.
