From Dr. Fessel's post:

Curley: It was inappropriate behavior. I thought it was a second mile person, so i thought it was appropriate to get info. to Second Mile
------

Right, in other words it was a poor boy and you didn't care about what happened to 'those people'.

Also, didn't even try to find out who the boy was, and nothing said about JS giving them the boy's name and phone number to contact.

Just a big ol coverup by a bunch of flat out liars....No wonder the GJ believed McQueary!

Paterno didn't hear the gory details but did report it to who he thought should handle it...BUT he knew it was sexual and serious abuse to a young boy and I fault him for not following up.

Right. McQueary's Dad did more of a follow up then Paterno ever did.

Curly: Sandusky said he didn't think he was there on that date.

How's that supposed to work? If he never asked the freak about the shower incident, why and when did he say he wasn't there that day?

 

[Tipstaff]

The longer I watch this, the more I hear....the more I believe that PennState is gonna get hit and hit hard legally. I hate it for the young people getting their education there, I hate it for those that knew absolutely nothing...but there is liability here. Loads of it.

Think we are getting a picture painted of alternate universes at Penn State. There are students there to get an education, professors there to teach, working people doing jobs on campus to support their families etc and then there was the world of Joe Paterno and Penn State football.

Nothing was going to disrupt or blow apart Paterno's world in Happy Valley let alone some member of the in-crowd coaching staff raping boys.

These guys thought they could cover this up and life would go on.

This is going to be good. LOL

Roberto: Fondeling and sexual intercourse are not the same. McQueary admitted he didn't use the words sexual intercourse w/paterno

I got a feeling this is bait and switch. Has to do with what shower he thought he was in. LOL LOL LOL

I don't know what sexual misconduct definition would be. Thought Jerry just clowning around and might have grabbed genitals of young boy [via Twitter]

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/feature?section=news&id=8468548

You know, that is just completely baffling. Children are human beings too, and any human being knows that when someone grabs your genitals it is an act of aggression. It's called "sexual assault." If these idiots had any empathy for children, they would have called the police. As it is they are just cowardly bystanders who wanted to save their own reputations because they were so seriously connected to Jerry all those years.

Calling planetary alien police to come pick up these people!

Well-said. That's the complete picture we are getting, and it's infuriating!

Save Happy Valley! Who cares about the kids! :maddening:

"What in God's name does it matter what Mr. Schultz's opinion is," Farrell said. "It's not material at all to what the Grand Jury is doing."

State to argue next.

I find it "astonishing" that Farrell can stand here and argue that the testimony of Schultz is not material, state attorney argues.

[ThoughtFox]

I think I'm getting a better sense today of what McQueary was up against. He thought that Paterno and all these guys would read between the lines of what he was saying. He and his father thought Paterno especially would understand what needed to be done and would have the guts to call police and get Sandusky arrested.

And that's why they didn't go into graphic detail with JoePa. They figured someone his age would have been around long enough to know what was wrong with the picture without having to spell it out. But that turned out to be wrong, and now the defense is using that to excuse the lack of action. But really, even without intercourse these are serious charges. Nudity in front of a child in a public building. Aggression towards a child. Slapping sounds. Lame excuses from Sandusky.

And the worst thing of all - that these were just "Second Mile Kids" and therefore were treated differently. What the hell does that mean?
