The former president of Penn State was released Wednesday after serving less than two months in jail for failing to notify police when he was told that football coach Jerry Sandusky had been seen physically abusing a boy on campus.
Graham Spanier, 73, served 58 days in a jail just six miles from the Penn State campus, Warden Christopher Schell told the Centre Daily Times.
