Report: Joe Paterno Contacts Defense Attorney J. Sedgwick Sollers, Who Represented George H.W. Bush

After losing his job this week, legendary former Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno is preparing to defend himself, and he’s calling upon a heavy hitter.

Paterno, 84, contacted attorney J. Sedgwick Sollers, according to NBC News. Sollers represented George H.W. Bush during an investigation into the Iran-Contra affair, the report notes. A Paterno spokesperson told NBC that no lawyer has yet been retained.

Paterno is not facing any charges at the moment, but could be sued in civil court.
