Penn State scandal: Where are the key players now?

Joe Amendola: After losing the biggest and most high-profile legal case of his career, the attorney continued to represent Sandusky and is attempting to appeal Sandusky's conviction. The appeal focuses on what Amendola calls a "lack of due process" because the trial began seven months after Sandusky was indicted, not giving Sandusky's lawyers ample time to prepare.

Joe Paterno: Paterno, left, was fired as Penn State's head football coach on Nov. 9, 2011, near the end of his 46th season at the helm. Nine days later, his son revealed that Paterno had a treatable form of lung cancer. Paterno died Jan. 22 from complications related to lung cancer treatment. Paterno's legacy was further tarnished this past summer with the release of the Freeh report, which said that Paterno concealed information about Sandusky for more than a decade.

Graham Spanier: Spanier, left, who was fired along with Paterno on Nov. 9, 2011, was not initially accused of being involved in the alleged cover-up. Three and a half months after damning emails were released in the Freeh report, Spanier was charged with perjury, obstruction of justice and endangering children on Thursday. Pennsylvania attorney general Linda Kelly, speaking about Spanier, former athletic director Tim Curley and former vice president Gary Schultz, said Thursday, "This was a conspiracy of silence."

Tom Bradley: Paterno's defensive coordinator at the time the scandal broke, Bradley became the interim head coach after Paterno was fired. Bradley reportedly interviewed for the head coaching job, and he left the program when Bill O'Brien was hired. Now living in Pittsburgh, he recently launched a web site, tombradleyinc.com.

Tim Curley and Gary Schultz: The suspended Nittany Lions athletic director, right, and retired university senior vice president were arraigned Friday on new charges of failing to report child sexual abuse. They have a preliminary hearing scheduled for Nov. 12.

Mike McQueary: A former Nittany Lions player, graduate assistant and assistant coach, McQueary grew up in State College, Pa. He reported an eyewitness account of Sandusky's assault of a boy in 2001, making him the prosecution's only witness who wasn't a Sandusky victim. The only Paterno assistant not interviewed for a coaching position on the current Penn State football staff, McQueary filed a $4 million defamation suit against the university in October.
