You may be right but I'd be surprised. This will pass with little fanfair. you can bet that Spanier's lawyers won't pass again on calling witnesses. At the same time, prosecution has lost leverage on Curley and Schultz. Prosecution retrying this is nothing but a "no-win" situation for them.
Ruling In:
ORDER (memorandum filed previously as separate docket entry) - AND NOW, this 30th day of April, 2019, upon consideration of the application (Doc. 1) for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 filed by Petitioner, Graham B. Spanier, and for the reasons set forth in the accompanying memorandum, it is hereby ORDERED that: 1. Spaniers petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is GRANTED with respect to the first two grounds raised in the petition, namely that the application of the 2007 child endangerment statute to his 2001 conduct, and the jury instruction based on the 2007 statute, as applied to Spanier, are unconstitutional. His petition is DENIED with respect to the third ground raised, the application of a statute-of-limitations exception not raised by the Commonwealth before or at trial. 2. Spaniers conviction and sentence for one count of Endangerment of the Welfare of a Child in the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, No. CP-22-CR-0003615-2013 are VACATED. 3. The execution of the writ of habeas corpus is STAYED for 90 days from the date of this order, during which time the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania may afford Spanier a new trial. 4. A certificate of appealability shall issue with respect to Spaniers third claim, that his conviction was upheld on the basis of a statute-of-limitations exception that the Commonwealth did not raise before trial. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254 Rule 11(a); 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). 5. The Clerk of Court is directed to administratively CLOSE this case. Signed by Magistrate Judge Karoline Mehalchick on 4/30/2019.

Unbelievable....ESPN.com is reporting this.

For starters, she admitted to MM that there were things that may not be true in the GJP, but he should not say anything.Can someone refill me in on Eschbach's role in this fiasco? I see that she is running for judge and it would be helpful to remind people in York County of the merits (or dismerits) of her qualifications.

With a subtitle of "Freeh is about to get F^CKED"Can the title of this thread be edited from “Spanier avoids jail time”, to “BS charges against Spanier finally thrown out”?
She is a 2 bit political whore, who doesn't give a damn about the truth.Can someone refill me in on Eschbach's role in this fiasco? I see that she is running for judge and it would be helpful to remind people in York County of the merits (or dismerits) of her qualifications.
Much to my dismay I just learned she's also a Penn State alumna. On the bright side, so is the federal magistrate judge who threw out Spanier's conviction.She is a 2 bit political whore, who doesn't give a damn about the truth.
Which actually does mean she would be a perfect Pennsylvania judge.
If there is re=trial, better damn well cross-examine McQueary.

If there is a retrial, they better damn well call NCIS Special Agent John Snedden to testify and ask him about the federal investigation that he did that resulted in Spanier’s Top Secret/SCI clearances being renewed.
So Curley and Schultz pled guilty to a law that didn't even apply. Wonder what this means for them now
We can always count on you to be the “proverbial”Lol. NCIS.

If I recall prior posts correctly, you argued that Spanier was deservedly and righfully convicted.Lol. NCIS.
He's one of those who cry.....Spanier got off on a technicality! The "technicality" being the supreme law of the land (everywhere but Pa.).If I recall prior posts correctly, you argued that Spanier was deservedly and righfully convicted.
Pretty f*cking wrong, don't you think? That's up there with VA Bball being overrated

Its a good point...but this is hardly unprecedented. It was a compromise so the prosecution could have settled on any number of low end, loosely defined crimes, like Obstruction. My point is if it wasn't this, it would have been something else.So Curley and Schultz pled guilty to a law that didn't even apply. Wonder what this means for them now

I was just thinking the same thing, I feel pretty bad for them today. Had they just fought the BS charges they’d be exactly where Spanier is today. I’m no expert, but I’d imagine there’s very little they can do at this point. I’d love to see them take some sort of action against the Commonwealth.
