"For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: "It might have been!" <br /><br />It is just maddening when I think that this whole mess could have been avoided, so many could have been spared such anguish, and Joe could have retained his reputation, if, as you point out, better counsel had been available. I believe that good men told the truth as best they could recall and were pilloried for doing so. Now, they have been vilified, lost their good names and, in the case of Curley and Schultz, a good chunk of change to defend themselves. I continue to be outraged; my opinion of the American justice system was low anyway, but after this, my faith in due process is shaken to the core. Sorry about the rant. At least, I can count on you, Ray, to remain committed to ferreting out the truth.

I noted that only two states use presentments and, before this case, had always thought that grand jury secrecy rules would have prevented disclosure.

(Except my take from the beginning was that PSU admin shared fault with losing the 1998 opp to stop JS and went into CYA mode when McQ came forward in 2001. No longer my take!).<br /><br />Back to this column...(1) seems that Baldwin's ambiguous presence with Curley and Schultz at their GJ testimony would be sufficient argument against any charges against these two related to that testimony. And (2) seems that whoever worded the GJ Presentment committed perjury. If McQ never said anal rape, and the author of the Presentment said he did...where's the law on that??! rdkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007253694089460950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-11366174531096918622013-02-15T15:14:53.734-05:002013-02-15T15:14:53.734-05:00I agree with you.

I really don't understand the "bad publicity" motivation.One would think, using the media's adverse reaction over the last year to the alleged "cover up", that the media would have hailed JP, et al as "hero's" for turning in one of their own;what an unselfish act to do. When you think about it the media's really saying "you damned if you do, and your damned if you don't". Either way, we the all powerful media will destroy you.

My first take of the entire incident has been that PSU did not know what they had on their hands and they did the best they could. End of story. Each posting validates this. <br />Please keep the line moving. The hours you put in and blogs you write have been immensely appreciated and have been one of the few avenues that gives me hope in some meaningful resolution to this mess. <br />Thank you very much<br /><br />BTW - where is barry?

However, I find it maddening how many people believe the current narrative. It is so stupid to believe they would cover for a pedophile because they were worried that the general public would view the school negatively for being Sandusky's former employer even if Penn State is responsible for turning him or that they feared recruits would not play for a school where a bad guy once worked. It is absurd and yet so many think this is what obviously happened. It is frustrating to jump from one site to the next and seeing people repeat the same fiction over and over again. And then there are people like Colin Cowherd who dismiss the report without reading it because it only exists to discredit the Freeh report. Apparently, by this logic, there should be no defense in trials because the defense only exists to discredit the prosecution.Chad Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023292932714092190noreply@blogger.com
