Both of these elements are potentially relevant to the determination of the motives of some of the individuals involved in the needless ruination of PSY's reputation and football program.<br /><br />First, too many people regard such so-called independent counsel investigations as authoritative and independent. The fact is that the lawyers have a client, in this case the BOT. Before a single word is said between attorney and client, the lawyer knows that the client is hopeful (i) that the investigation will cast a shadow of blame on one or more individuals or entities that are not objects of the client's bounty, (ii) that the investigation will exculpate the client and others whom the client wishes to be exculpated and (iii) that the investigation will demonstrate that the client is diligent and cooperative with law enforcement, resulting in little or no punishment even if the client is considered guilty. The lawyer may well attempt to perform in an unbiased manner, but will nevertheless be biased in favor of the result that the client desires. The result may be that the eventual report includes errors and omissions of various levels of importance. When the investigation is conducted simultaneously with law enforcement activity, as was the case here, the inability to access witnesses and documentary evidence renders the whole exercise futile. Reports that various key figures were not interviewed despite their availability, if true, cast a real blanket of doubt over Freeh's work. This being the case, it is shocking that the NCAA based sanctions on the Freeh report and that the University accepted the result without question. The more recent statement released by the accredidation body is beyond belief.<br /><br />Second, it is well understood that liberal academe is the natural born enemy of college athletics, a situation that produces peculiar results. A moment's scrutiny of the performance of the professors and other liberal groups at Duke University during the well known lacrosse debacle bears this out. (That the Duke president and board remain in place is, of course, another travesty.) In the PSU/Sandusky situation, it should be seen that the liberals have scored a shutout: the football program has been ruined (hopefully not eternally); the athletic establishment of PSU has been vilified, disgraced and, in Coach Paterno's case some might say, executed; and a $60 million penalty has been exacted; and, even this was the work of a former employee, the football program is to blame for the whole mess!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-42652767618856441702012-08-14T14:49:57.373-04:002012-08-14T14:49:57.373-04:00questions - Sandusky and Rakovitz were both told i...questions - Sandusky and Rakovitz were both told in 2001 that Sandusky was no longer allowed in the Lasch facilities?

That's what Freeh wants you to believe, b...Bob,<br />That's what Freeh wants you to believe, but legally it wasn't wrong to not report to DPW and morally it was not wrong either.<br /><br />1st: Legally: Under the statute, child abuse should be reported BY the organization responsible for the welfare of the child. PSU fulfilled this obligation by telling Sandusky's employer (Second Mile) about the incident.<br /><br />2nd: Morally: PSU officials had a vague account on an incident occurring in the shower between Sandusky and a child. PSU officials pulled the 1998 police record, that reported Sandusky had showered with 2 other children. Schultz and Curley also knew that Sandusky was suffering from mental health issues (see Exhibit 3E), therefore the decision they made was to contact the CEO of Second Mile as a way to get Sandusky some help. Freeh castigates the PSU officials for this "humane" approach, however, I believe it is an approach that ANYONE would choose if a close friend or family member was caught doing something so completely out of character. <br /><br />For example, let's say you visit your elderly mother or grandmother, and notice that she has suddenly accumulated a lot of material things that you believe she has stolen. Would you call the cops and have her arrested? Or would you get her some help first, then worry about the renumeration and the police later?<br /><br />Where PSU screwed up was not having someone, like an OHR person, monitoring the Second Mile to ensure the information was properly acted upon. That's on Spanier.Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-88662552984513206482012-08-14T10:03:52.248-04:002012-08-14T10:03:52.248-04:00Hi Ray, Hi Barry, I appreciate your efforts here, ...Hi Ray, Hi Barry, I appreciate your efforts here, but one question continues to nag at me.<br /><br />I get all of this.... I get there are more people who screwed up.... bottom line, though, is that 2001 did happen. The email traffic in Feb 2001 between Spanier, Curley and Schultz indicate that due consideration was given to reporting McQueary's sighting in the shower to C&Y. The decision was made not to do so and Paterno was cited by Curley's email as agreeing to that decision. Not proof of Paterno's involvement in the decision byt any means.... but any answer to Curley's phone call the evening before other than, "Tim, are you nuts? You guys gotta report this!" was the wrong answer - isn't it?<br /><br />Bob Mooneyrbm0918https://www.blogger.com/profile/03711684368491178444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-13446969546573946152012-08-13T15:41:45.928-04:002012-08-13T15:41:45.928-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18348504759980078841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-84529759052653507292012-08-13T15:39:08.397-04:002012-08-13T15:39:08.397-04:00Hi Ray, Hi Barry!

I have no idea what "clearance" would mean. Could he access files? or??? <br /><br /><br />The Childline sex abuse registry and reporting center is run out of the PA department of public welfare. <br /><br />I also gather from another article that I read awhile back that it was the Department of Public welfare that cleared Sandusky to be a foster parent? <br /><br />Thanks for all your enthusiasm and also the huge amount of time and effort!<br /><br />Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18348504759980078841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-73295859083547084282012-08-12T17:03:19.692-04:002012-08-12T17:03:19.692-04:00Great reply Shot of ExpressoGreat reply Shot of ExpressoBarry Bozemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484041114078117845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-69149956496598068042012-08-12T16:59:32.593-04:002012-08-12T16:59:32.593-04:00I get that link to lead to a post on Fight On Stat...I get that link to lead to a post on Fight On State premium access board.

Seriously??? I still don't even get how the reputation of the football program would have been harmed by Joe or anyone at PSU busting a retired coach for terrible acts?

I saw it happen this morning -- a person made wild accusations that Barry had altered the Freeh Report to get the fuzzy images. This person went into great detail about how Barry did it and people believed him immediately. Until other people did what Barry asked and went directly to the Freeh Report to get the same result. <br /><br />sarajmk, brought up the time zone question, of which the answer was no, Schultz was not in a different time zone in May 1998. This is a fact she could have checked on her own. Why didn't she check it before she raised the question? Not to ding on sarajmk, but as I said below, I don't post anything I can't back up with fact based analysis.<br /><br />I would also ask if you opened the embedded link regarding the "insider" individual, before you questioned why I concluded an insider planted exculpatory evidence? Where you aware this exculpatory evidence existed in the report? And did you thoughtfully consider the list of signs I provided? <br /><br />At first, my colleagues waved me off and thought I was being a conspiracy theorist, as you both seem to be doing -- until I showed them the evidence.Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-13465716284063467342012-08-11T20:32:08.489-04:002012-08-11T20:32:08.489-04:00very, very well put sarajmk.

However, I have consulted with experts on my thesis regarding the work of an insider on Freeh's team and they support that thesis. All of the people I work with are seasoned intelligence analysts. The things identified as markers, particularly turning pages to landscape, when you could easily place them in portrait (what is the purpose, Freeh didn't want to exceed 267 pages?), and to include evidence in the appendices that is not referenced anywhere else in the report is clearly what an insider (saboteur) would do. <br /><br />Schultz went on vacation in 2001, not 1998.<br /><br />The manipulation of e-mails and other documents in this case is pretty evident by simply going to the Freeh Report and zooming in on the text. You will see shadowed/pixelated text and you will see clean text. As I said on the radio show, I don't trust any of the e-mail evidence and believe the actual files should be pulled from the server. I will edit the file above to say the same. I also believe all the documents should be examined by a document forensics expert.<br /><br />We are proceeding with caution as we make statements.

Like many of us who read the report, I feel the lack of evidence is stark and Freeh's conclusions given this paper thin evidence are ludicrous. However, since the report is weak in its own right, I get nervous when I see your discussion about an “insider" leaving clues in the report and Freeh manipulating the e-mails. If this is suggested and then can't be proven, it just makes a stronger argument for the media and uninformed public that the Paterno supporters are delusional. As an example, when I review the chronology of the e-mails, is it possible that Schultz was on vacation (which I believe was discussed in the report) and is in a different time zone? I realize you’re a highly experienced investigator and are aware of all the possibilities, but my point is that one faulty conclusion on your behalf will discredit your entire findings by a blood-thirsty media. For those of us who believe that the Freeh Report actually provides zero evidence that Paterno was involved in a cover-up, your angle on this case is concerning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-6421734961992284142012-08-10T23:54:26.238-04:002012-08-10T23:54:26.238-04:00Dear Unknown (or should I call you Kenneth?)
