Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said on Wednesday that his office intends to appeal a federal judge's decision to vacate former Penn State President Graham Spanier's misdemeanor child endangerment conviction.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Karoline Mehalchick ruled Tuesday in Scranton agreeing that Spanier was improperly charged under the 2007 law for what occurred in 2001, giving state prosecutors three months to retry Spanier.

With his options at the state level exhausted, former Penn State President Graham Spanier has filed an appeal in federal court to vacate his 2017 conviction on a child endangerment charge.
