You can sit on your philosophical throne and ponder all day about why someone would do something; I don't give two shits about why they did something. The fact of the matter is that they did it. You sound like Johnnie Cochran trying to explain that your client is a psychopathic murderer because his father diddled him when he was a child.
We've been repeating over and over that there were simply too many incidents, one of which was reported to Paterno, in addition to criminal charges that had been brought; there simply is no way that Paterno was in the dark on this. At the very least, he should have had a strong suspicion, and should not have continued to allow the creep to hang around the program with children. Paterno was in the wrong, and no number of theories about why he was in the wrong will change that.
All of these incidents and the time line for them were in the indictment. If you've read it, then I don't know why it took Wes laying everything out in elementary terms for you to finally see what it is that we've been trying to say all along.
If any of the above is too "circular" for you, then you may need an adult to assist you in day to day activities.
^^ Hysterical rant ^^
What I didn't see in the indictment (and still don't, frankly) is the connection between 1998 and 2002 in terms of who was told, what they were told, who knew and what they knew. Based on Wes' simple, plain view, non-hysterical, pitchfork-less take on what was in the indictment, I'm willing to concede that at the very least Paterno should have known something in 1998, otherwise why would he have allowed Sandusky to step down.
You're a lawyer and you don't think the who, what, when, where and why matters?
I guess you guys are required to print this for a reason:
No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.This has been fun, but you're in on the tail end of the event and your blustering seems overwrought. It's Friday night. Go out and hit something.
Oh, BTW? Sandusky was barred from bringing kids to PSU in 2002. He wasn't there
with children after that.
The board at Second Mile -- his foundation -- was also notified of the incident.
It did nothing.
Everything in the indictment is from 2002 and before I think. Nine years ago. That's a long time to pass for nothing to happen.
Not defending, just saying.
