I'm a registered Republican who has written many articles condemning Tom Corbett for his decisions on the Sandusky case.<br /><br />As I said, I have not investigated the Gricar case. Period. Not going to investigate it until I am done with this case. I have nothing to say about it - except that I put no credence at all in what has been written in the press about it. However, that statement would fit anything I would investigate.Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-44352303073503133352014-01-30T13:14:53.942-05:002014-01-30T13:14:53.942-05:00Ok I can both u and john zeigler are AFRAID to go ...Ok I can both u and john zeigler are AFRAID to go political ....how interesting ???

So wouldn't it be safe to say the Second Mile/PA state government connection is much more of a plausible reason for the Attorney General's office not to arrest Sandusky for that same amount of time, 14 years? I mean, instead of saying Paterno was Jerry's keeper, which is false, and blaming Paterno, isn't it more obvious to look at a money connection instead of assuming an 80 year old man should have known where an independent like Sandusky was 24/7? Sandusky represented Second Mile after he retired, not PSU or Paterno. So what's with the public perception of Paterno being all-knowing, and therefore to blame for Sandusky's crimes?Truthseekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06434780738644463324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-89682027880788519192013-06-25T14:55:12.586-04:002013-06-25T14:55:12.586-04:00I am sure that the lawyers (Paul Kelly and Wick So...I am sure that the lawyers (Paul Kelly and Wick Sollers) for the Paterno family lawsuit against the NCAA will use this inforation about Harmon in their case.

Ganter was the heir apparent. Sandusky's defenses had underpeformed in the years leading up to his retirement.<br /><br />Joe was being honest when he said he should have talked to Jerry about retiring five or six years earlier.Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-33692136625069214722013-06-25T14:46:01.443-04:002013-06-25T14:46:01.443-04:00I agree that DPW scuttled the investigation by bri...I agree that DPW scuttled the investigation by bringing in Seasock to conduct the evaluation - however, the decision to not "indicate" Sandusky as a child abuser probably was a foregone conclusion. His history as a foster and adoptive parent, plus his role with Second Mile, made him "untouchable" in the minds of the CYS and DPW caseworkers.<br /><br />I wouldn't point at any one individual as much as I would point to the system failing. <br /><br />And the system is still failing today. <br /><br />Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-11890251120940869242013-06-25T11:23:09.960-04:002013-06-25T11:23:09.960-04:00I think it was very wrong for the Attorney General...I think it was very wrong for the Attorney General to ask/tell Freeh not to interview Harmon. It is astounding that any one, including the Board of Trustees and the NCAA, could think Freeh did an independent and objective investigation in view of Freeh's statements from page 12 of his report<br /><br />"At the request of the Pennsylvania Attorney General, the Special Investigative Counsel did not interview former Pennsylvania State University Director of Public Safety Thomas Harmon or former coach Michael McQueary, among others. Although the information these individuals could have provided would have been pertinent to the investigation, the findings contained in this report represent a fair, objective and comprehensive analysis of facts. Moreover, the extensive contemporaneous documentation that the Special Investigative Counsel collected provided important insights, even into the actions of those who<br />declined to be interviewed."<br /><br />Dan Bernitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002205847276105897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-22985085579606505122013-06-25T08:10:50.053-04:002013-06-25T08:10:50.053-04:00Your chain of events/activities would lead one to ...Your chain of events/activities would lead one to believe that some people were aware of Sandusky's tendencies prior to 1998.

It seems to me that the decision to not investigate Sandusky was made when Seasock was brought in, or before. Perhaps everything after May 8, at the latest, was pro forma.<br /><br />Ray, what's your current thinking on Lauro's role in all this? Seems whoever was directing his actions/ words back then would be happy to sacrifice him as the scapegoat now.rdkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007253694089460950noreply@blogger.com
