U.S. Attorney's office is reviewing request from Pa. lawmakers to investigate Tom Corbett's handling of Jerry Sandusky's case By SARA GANIM, The Patriot- The U.S. Attorney General's Office has received and is reviewing a request by two Pennsylvania Democrats to investigate the pace and handling of the Jerry Sandusky case, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Justice public affairs office said. The two-page letter, was penned by state House Democratic Whip Mike Hanna, and Democratic Leader Mike Dermody. The Oct. 17 letter asked that there be a federal probe into how Gov. Tom Corbett handled the investigation while he was state attorney general. Corbett has been repeatedly criticized over the last year for the length of the investigation. It took two years for police to find a 1998 police report, to get records from Sandusky's children's charity or to interview officials at Penn State. Corbett has staunchly defended the criticisms, calling them political, and challenging anyone to find evidence that he handled the case improperly. An agent working on the case has recently come to his defense. Randy Feathers says he was the one who made a decision about keeping the number of investigators low for many months. And today, as more charges were filed in the scandal to include former PSU president Graham Spanier, state police commissioner Frank Noonan said that prosecutors would likely have lost a case against Sandusky if they had immediately arrested him. pennlive.com
