Why is the opinion of internet trolls and incoherent tabloid ranters even considered here?<br />I'm sure that Gladwell is perfectly capable of exposing these talking heads for the fools they are!<br />As I have said many times, I am skeptical of Sandusky's guilt. I base this skepticism on lack of physical evidence, ever changing stories, evidence tampering, fabrication of evidence, witness tampering, suborned perjury, and stories that make absolutely no logical sense.<br />If Jerry were the pedophile you think he is, he could have had a dream job as a phys-ed teacher at any school and any age group he desired. He did one of his student teaching gigs at my High School in what is now the West Shore District. We had a lot of teachers who did things that would not be tolerated today. One of our gym teachers liked to drape naked boys over a pommel horse and paddle them. Not that they didn't deserve it, but that teacher would be hauled off to jail today. Judging some of the things that JS did by today's standards is just not correct.Greg Vernonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566899608592908874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-36974004537992454162020-02-05T20:57:40.443-05:002020-02-05T20:57:40.443-05:00Tim,

Joe Patrick also failed to mention key facts that undermined his position, such as a federal judge throwing out Spanier's child endangerment conviction because prosecutors denied Spanier his constitutional rights. He also failed to discuss how prosecutor Frank Fina is awaiting the ruling of the PA Supreme Court on his misconduct in violating attorney-client privilege of the three Penn State administrators.Tim Bertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534135581401662154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-50185539782954363162020-02-05T13:06:06.489-05:002020-02-05T13:06:06.489-05:00catalacjack,
Thanks for your comments. You are co...catalacjack,<br />Thanks for your comments. You are correct!<br /><br />Frank Noonan's moral responsibility comment was clearly a hit job on JVP and a CYA move on his part. His cops could have taken Sandusky off the streets a lot sooner had they followed the leads they received on Day 1. <br /><br />Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-58558871823242795592020-02-05T13:01:56.334-05:002020-02-05T13:01:56.334-05:00What really upsets me about everyone's critici...What really upsets me about everyone's criticism including Corbutt's shill Noonan's assessment, is that Joe followed actual PA statute 42.42. Noonan should have known that, and the moment that he commented about Joe and his morality, I knew that the fix was in to lay all of this on Joe Paterno. As for Ley don't worry about him, he is an A$$ and I have told him plenty of timescatalacjackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168377742653358187noreply@blogger.com
