You should try going to a game at U of Mich. You will never complain again.
Maybe while they are renovating they will figure a way to open those locker rooms enough to keep the predators honest at bay. Yeah, it's a cheap shot. But PSU deserves it.
There is talk that he was railroaded and didn't do it. I think there is a chance he gets a new trial.
Yeah, right. Everything was made up and out of the blue an innocent man was railroaded. Now his son has been arrested on a similar charge. BS. JoePa was a fraud and enabler; there was a reason he removed Sandusky as coach-in-waiting, while PSU to its everlasting shame is more concerned with image than the lives of a serial predator's boy child victims. As Richard Pryor said, who are you going to believe, me or or your lying eyes? Sandusky should be wary of another trial. It was Georgia's red suspender guv who warned young son "Hummin" Talmadge to never sue the AJC for libel, else "They might prove it."
The Syracuse guy ended up not getting charged. I don't think there is any doubt about Sandusky though
I will try to keep this short. The teen in the shower said he was not molested and wrote a letter to the editor about it when Joe pa was fired, the coach that saw it wrote to the prosecutor saying that he was twisting his words, one of the lead reporters now at CNN wrote to a mother of one of the kids and said this case will close if we don't find more victims. Shortly there after three or four of his friends come forward. Police are caught on tape coaching accusers. Typically in a molestation case you'll find evidence of child porn on their computer, but there was none. The only porn was found on the prosecutors computer. A board of trustee of PSU has said there are questions about this case and should be retried. This whole case relies on the first accuser. Who an aunt, friends and girlfriend at the time say he is lying. A person started a sting op. And went to one of the lead Attorney and made up a story about being molested, but his story didn't include PSU, that attorney changed the story to include PSU. This sting op has been recorded. This was just after the catholic Church scandal so tensions were high, a news media that is out there for headlines and promotions, and a public that only read headlines. If you don't think anybody could get railroaded just remember Duke lacrosse. What caught my attention was When a board of trustee says there questions/ problems about what happen and he should get a new hearing. He even voted against the second round of payments.
It was pretty obvious Paterno got railroaded.
I find this astonishingly amazing.
Do you know the Duke lacrosse story?
I surely do. Enough to know this is what is known in political circles as a "false equivalency". One is not the other or even close.
I was not saying they are the same but just making the point people do get railroaded. I think it is a pretty big deal when a board of trustee member publicly says there some questions about what really happen.
Well, not to prolong the discussion, Paterno had a lot of supporters on the board and in fact was influential in the makeup of the board to the extent it would support his football program. It's not surprising that people in all walks of life in Pennsylvania will lean on that thin reed. Both in defending Paterno by supporting Sandusky, even after Paterno rather abruptly dumped him as coach-in-waiting, something that was never explained, and which a docile local press merely reported as a stenographer, or in defending the university's reputation. The latter took a huge hit for its cover-up and Sergeant Schultz reaction. It was humiliating. So, yeah. Somebody will climb in that boat. Somebody always does. (See UNC, Chapel Hill. Phony classes all those players were enrolled in? We knew nothing!"
