Another suicide at Penn State

The law firm Goodall and Yurchak may soon be the next subject of investigation in the Penn State child molestation scandal. This is the firm that Judge Leslie Dutchcot belongs to.  Yesterday, Judge Dutchcot was removed from the Jerry Sandusky case.

Attorney Amos Goodall recently represented Ray Gricar's daughter in declaring him dead.  This conveneniently happened just several months before the Penn State scandal broke.

What has been kept as quiet as a mouse is the suicide of Amos Goodall's son Christian Amos Goodall on November 2, 2010. He was 29 years old.

At 29, Christian Goodall would have been the perfect age to have known the Second Mile boys, and to have been familiar with many of the details in the scandal.  

A telephone call the the Centre County Coroner's Office for information on the autopsy was returned by Scott Sayers on November 15.  When asked for a copy of the Goodall autopsy, Sayers bruskly refused.  He referred me to the desk at the prothonotary and indicated that there is a document on file. 

A Facebook page has been set up for the community to comment titled Rest in Peace Christian Goodall.  If you knew Christian you may want to post on this page.
