“Why wasn’t Coach Franklin called as a witness? They knew he would be subject to cross examination,” the winning lawyer said.
Throughout the trial, there was never anyone who could explain James Franklin’s intentions, his state of mind, when clashing with a fired football doctor over the latter’s medical decisions. Only Penn State’s head coach could have done that, and he never took the stand.the $5.25 million a Dauphin County jury awarded a fired football doctor Wednesday night.
“I don’t want to talk about him,” he added of the coach Lynch clashed with over player injuries. “I want to talk about the overarching goal, which is to get measures in place to protect student athletes. That’s what it’s always been about for me.” Dr. Black, Lynch’s boss at Penn State Health who delivered the news the orthopedic surgeon was being replaced in his Penn State Athletics roles, also declined comment. Lynch sued Black personally, along with Penn State Health, which is still Lynch’s employer.
In painstaking examinations of witnesses, Marino established instance after instance of Franklin being frustrated by injured players who weren’t practicing and angry over stars being medically ruled out of games, among other instances of coaching interference with medical autonomy.
