The defendants in former Penn State football doctor Scott Lynch's wrongful termination suit seek the jury verdict to be vacated.
Defendants in the lawsuit filed by a former Penn State football doctor are asking a judge to vacate the jury's decision, saying that Dr. Scott Lynch did not prove his claim of wrongful termination. Further, according to their motion for post-trial relief, the defendants said that Lynch "sought to wage a proxy war against PSU and its Athletics Department."
In determining its decision and the damages, the jury answered "Yes" to several questions, including one that referenced Franklin: In their motion, the defendants said that Lynch's suit "was never about" them or the statutes he cited in court. The motion said that Lynch "deceived both the jury and the Court" and that Lynch's case focused on NCAA and Big Ten guidelines, "which are not public policy of this Commonwealth."
" argument that his claim was based on these statutes was simply a ruse to tell a conspiratorial narrative that had no basis in fact and, more importantly, had no nexus to the actual remaining Defendants," the motion stated. "... In fact, the real intention was obvious — Plaintiff sought to wage a proxy war against PSU and its Athletics Department, neither of whom were Defendants.
