Paterno culpable

“Mike McQueary came in and said he was in the shower and that Jerry Sandusky was in the shower with another person, a younger, how young I don’t know and Mike never mentioned it, that there was some inappropriate sexual activity going on.”</p>

<p>“I think as I recall, he said something about touching…whatever you want to call them, privates, whatever it is.”</p>

<p>“Well yea, I guess you’d call it sexual.”</p>

<p>“…there was inappropriate action…it was something we’d probably take, uh, probably call sexual.”</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>“I didn’t feel it was my responsibility to make any kind of a decision as to what to do with him.”</p>

<p>And “I had other things to do.”

<p>And this;</p>

<p>He recalled the head coach saying the school would come down hard on McQueary and try to make him a scapegoat. Paterno also advised McQueary not to trust the administration or then-university counsel Cynthia Baldwin, the former assistant testified.</p>

<p>Judge William Wenner held over on Tuesday the charges that include obstruction of justice, child endangerment and conspiracy after almost two days of witness testimony.</p>

<p>Just before announcing his decision, he said: “Today is a tragic day for Penn State.”</p>

<p>Something tells me that Paterno doesn’t care anymore.</p>

[lindz126]

<p>his family and his estate certainly does</p>

[Repede]

<p>Beating a dead horse imo.</p>

[JAMCAFE]

<p>Penn State cares, or they should. The victims care. The violation of trust is so incredible that we all should care to know it happened with every person who should know better, choosing to turn a blind eye.</p>

[lindz126]

<p>completely agree JAMCAFE</p>

<p>In all the previous legal inquiries mcQueary never mentioned some of these conversations. Now that Paterno is dead it will be interesting to see what new statements will be attributed to this dead man years later.</p>

[frugaldoctor]

<p>In the court of public opinion, why do we seem to blame the people who hadn’t committed the crimes more than the criminals? Criminals, especially pedophiles, are sophisticated liars and manipulators. Unless you are a detective, it would be very difficult to take the leap and conclude certain actions with evil intentions. Look at how many decades it took to discover the scandal involving Roman Catholic priests. I lay blame, as it relates to Penn State, solely on Sandusky.</p>

[lindz126]

<p>with all due respect,the real reason it took so long to “discover” the sex abuse tragedy within the church is because others enabled the pedophile priests, not because the priests were so sophisticated at lying. They were covered for, moved around to other parishes. </p>

“If anything, it’s more clear than ever that Paterno understood that one of his assistants had witnessed Sandusky sexually abusing a child in a Penn State football building shower back in 2001, and that the patron saint of State College did the legal minimum (after waiting a day to bother to tell anyone) of informing his superiors upon hearing that news.”</p>

<p>Except those are Paterno own words, a transcript from an interview with other investigators.</p>

[lindz126]

<p>Paterno’s own words to questions being asked by Anthony Sassano, an agent with the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office.</p>

<p>My understanding is that Paterno’s family has claimed he never had an inkling that Sandusky’s behavior was “sexual”. this transcript reveals that in fact he did. And his son Jay was sitting next to him during the interview.</p>

[ttparent]

<p>“solely on Sandusky.”</p>

<p>And totally turn a blind eye to the rest of the things that actually happened? Sandusky is in jail, so let’s wipe the rest under the rug? That is terrible. It is less likely to happen again (and it will), if we shine a glaring light on this kind of problem.</p>

<p>ttparent.</p>

<p>Which transcript does it state that Paterno told McQueary he had better watch out and that Old Main handled things wrong? </p>

<p>I was under the impression that this month was the first time McQueary talked about this</p>

[1moremom]

<p>I think that is correct, sax.

But the former Penn State assistant coach and quarterback also delivered some unexpected testimony: that the late Hall of Fame coach had told him over the years that “Old Main screwed up” — referring to university administrators — in how it responded to McQueary’s allegation against Sandusky.

<p>I would not say this is a tragic day for Penn State. It will be good for Penn State to have the trials run their course so the school can get back its real work, without all the distraction.</p>
