<p>I was just asking myself earlier what lawyer in his right mind would let his client spout off like that. And now we have the answer to that: A moron!</p>
<p>Well, interesting news on McWeary - maybe he did more than we thought. Pertano should have known that things weren’t right. One thing is for sure, Corbitt is to be commended for launching this whole investigation.</p>
<p>I felt like I needed to take a shower after reading about Sandusky’s interview - with no young guests.</p>
<p>I’m astonished by both interviews tonight. At first, I thought that Sandusky was “going rogue” but then the attorney said many of the same things. Are they trying to desensitize the jury pool into thinking this is normal stuff? Meanwhile, legal experts everywhere are scratching their heads: [Legal</a> experts question former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky’s decision to talk about sex abuse charges in NBC interview](<a href=“http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/college/legal-experts-question-penn-state-coach-jerry-sandusky-decision-talk-sex-abuse-charges-nbc-interview-bob-costas-article-1.977625]Legal”>http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/college/legal-experts-question-penn-state-coach-jerry-sandusky-decision-talk-sex-abuse-charges-nbc-interview-bob-costas-article-1.977625)</p>
<p>One big problem they’ve just created for themselves:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Also, I found the attorney’s comments about the victims to be chilling, and I wonder if they were intended as a shot across the bow. Think how these statements must sound to a victim:</p>
<p>“[Sandusky] has an answer to every allegation.”
“The kid was having a good time.”
“What McQueary said he saw, we have information that that child says that never happened.”</p>
<p>Happy Valley really is a parallel world.</p>
<p>Perhaps Sandusky met the attorney in some sort of support group for people with the same issues.</p>
<p>This whole thing keeps getting stranger and deeper then one could imagine…The DA and now his attorney ,their connections and history only add more depth to the coming movie…No writer could ever write this,nobody would believe it, lol</p>
<p>I hate to see this happen, because it’s so unfair to the innocent, but I really think Penn State’s only option here is to quickly shut down the football program, and announce they will rebuild it slowly over the next few years.</p>
<p>They need to aggressively disassociate themselves from this whole mess. If Sandusky is going to give interviews like that, still acting like he doesn’t have to account for anything, Penn State will continue to look bad. This will be a long, drawn-out trial, and it will be a constant reminder to everyone that it was preserving the good name of Penn State Football that caused the whole thing to go on for so long.</p>
<p>What top high school football player will want to go to PSU now? It seems to me the program is damaged anyway, so I think it’s best for PSU to cut their losses now and stand up for decency. IMO, it’s their only chance for coming out of this with dignity. </p>
<p>It’s bad enough they played last Saturday, as if to say, “Football must go on.” Using the excuse that the current players were innocent didn’t wash. Unfortunately, they are part of a damaged program, one that must end – it happens in life. Companies fail, we lose jobs, we move on.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think you hit the nail on the head here. Since it seems that the lawyer is as sick and perverse as his client, this would make perfect sense. One of the ways that pedophiles groom their victims is to slowly desensitize them to behavior that is abnormal…make them think it is normal, even loving. Sandusky and his handler have the public confused with a group of vulnerable and naive children. I think time will tell them that they are messing with the wrong group now.</p>
<p>
Can this story get any creepier???</p>
<p>After that interview, PSU should totally remove Sanduskys name from any sign, plaque, award, trophy, etc . and completely bar him from campus. Making sure THIS time they take away all keys, season tickets and passes. He wife and children should be told Sandusky will not be allowed to accompany them to any PSU function.</p>
<p>I take group showers on a daily basis after swim practice (masters). Usually, there are just us middle-aged women, but often younger folks join us. To me, showering naked with all ages of women is not that big of deal. Of course, there is no touching, hugging, or soaping going on. And yes, I can imagine a scenario in which a women and a girl just happen to be showering in the same locker room unsupervised. I don’t believe Sandusky is innocent, but getting the charges to stick may not be an easy task as in many cases, and my own, group showers are no big deal.</p>
<p>Maybe they’re equating Sandusky’s situation with that of Michael Jackson.</p>
<p>Ugh, can’t imagine what his wife and family must be feeling now. Who could stay with a man like that? He sounded so weird during the interview,like he knew the allegations were true so was tip toeing around an outright denial.</p>
<p>Anyone see the lawyer again on the Today Show? He looked bad, but he claims that up to four of the victims in the GJ report now say either it didn’t happen or have a continuing close relationship with Sandusky. Plus they showed portions of the interview that didn’t air last night.</p>
<p>And can I say that I am disgusted by the continued use of the word “horseplay.” If I were a horse I’d sue for defamation of character.</p>
<p><strong><em>in many cases, and my own, group showers are no big deal.</em></strong></p>
<p>Group showers cannot be compared with a middle-aged man bringing a 10-year-old into a shower. (especially alone, at night)</p>
<p>Please tell me, which grownups are in the habit of hugging and touching small young kids naked in the shower and then kept on doing it after getting in a lot of trouble for it before? I don’t even do that with my own kids. And this was not a group thing, it was him and one young boy in an empty facility late at night after he has been investigated and almost went to trial a few years before. I don’t think he does himself any good for going public and saying this thing, I hope it back fired and more kids come out because of this shenanigan.</p>
<p>McQueary is insisting he did the right thing.</p>
<p>So he called the police to report a rape?</p>
<p>He stayed with the child until he could be taken to a hospital to be treated for potential injuries, referred for counseling/intense therapy, and so that a rape kit could be produced to collect evidence?</p>
<p>If the answer to either of the two above questions are no, then he did not do the right thing.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>in all this muck, a welcome dose of humor!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, of course not. But in my locker room, there are no private showers and naked people of all ages are often showering in the same shower room with multiple shower heads. I can imagine a situation in which a man and a boy or a woman and a girl shower in the same shower room after a work out. Because of this, charges may not stick (especially with a good lawyer) and I can see a scenario in which he is charged with just poor judgement.</p>
<p>Again, I don’t think he is innocent. I’m just speculating that a trial may not deliver a guilty verdict with the information that is available in the grand jury report if the McQ eyewitness is discredited.</p>
<p>“Because of this, charges may not stick (especially with a good lawyer) and I can see a scenario in which he is charged with just poor judgement.”</p>
<p>Even after 4 or more other boys come out and testify, plus McQ and the janitor testimonies? I can see discrediting McQ for whatever strange reason that the defense lawyer can come up with, but the janitor did report right away too to his supervisor. So we have actual victims and multiple adults eyewitnesses. If that can’t convict, I don’t know how else to convince a jury?</p>
