Sara Ganim, the reporter who won a Pulitzer Prize for her coverage of the Jerry Sandusky story, was pulled out of court on Wednesday morning, one day after she was subpoenaed by the Sandusky defense team.
NBC10's @LuAnn_Cahn tweeted this morning that Ganim was pulled out of court and that she might be called by the defense. That was at 9:04. About an hour later, Cahn tweeted that Ganim was called to testify, but was not in court. The judge called for attorneys to approach the bench. After that, the defense entered into evidence that Ganim referred an alleged victim to Pennsylvania State Police.
@sganim tweeted the following:
10:33: "For the record, I would NOT have answered yes to that question. I would have declined to comment under Pa. Shield Law. #Sandusky
10:47: "question, if I had sent email to alleged victims mom with contact info for investigators. I would not EVER talk about convo w/ source."
Ganim, 24, broke the Sandusky child sex abuse story. She works for The Patriot News in Harrisburg.
