I read the GJ report and I was under the impression that Paterno reported the incident to Schultz. I was also under the impression that Paterno was NOT told what happened. As a matter of fact, he was given a VERY diluted report of the situation.
The eye witness went straight to Paterno .... but he didn't give him details about what he saw? Paterno didn't say "tell me exactly what you saw ... I want details of everything you saw happen" ?
No one can possibly believe that. It's light years beyond incredible.

You have no idea how the "Cult of JoePa" worked. Paterno was God, not just A god. If Paterno didn't know, it was b/c he didn't want to know, b/c he said, "now don't tell me all the details".
Oh, baloney. McQueary was the observer. Why would anyone want to murder him? He really should have called 911 right there in the locker room. Yes, Penn State might have gotten some backlash, but I doubt it would have been as bad as this.
I just can't get over how we go from this guy being allowed to coach to Paterno being fired. I mean I really have to question the judgment and moral fiber of a person who could witness a 10 year old being raped by an old man and whose first reaction is to call his dad. Dad in turn advises call Paterno not the police.
Seems to me that the two of them sought to leverage this crime to their own advantage, child rape victim be darned.

That is impossible to believe.
Denial. Head in the sand. Or something even more sinister?
This story needs to be kept alive. The educating and shaming of America is the only hope that something good can come out of this.

But does that version make common sense???Think about it???

I don't get how this guy coaches, either. Yes, he reported it, but not to authorities.
As I said before, the whole regime needs to be cleaned out. Honestly, if they're going to trot this guy out to coach, I think the NCAA needs to step in and just cancel the rest of Penn State's season.
Your grasp of the situation is slippery. If you are informed of a criminal act against a child by an eye witness to the crime, who is a subordinate or affiliated with your place of your employ, which is also the scene of the crime, you have an obligation, by law, to notify proper law enforcement authorities, and provide them with all information you have. PERIOD.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with hearsay or what is or is not admissible in court. You do not need to be THE eye witness in order to be obligated to report a crime had been committed if you are aware that a crime was committed or may have been committed.
You need to link a statute or something also is this standard national? I don't think it's the case in PA.
From what I've read, Paterno satisfied the legal requirements of his duties by reporting what he was told to the AD.
In fact it is not clear if universities are under the same mandate to report child abuse as elementary, jr or sr high schools. Since their student body consist of adults.
I believe the feds are looking into to see if any crimes have been violated.

Why would you punish the young football players that have nothing to do with this?
What obviously needs to happen here is that people need to become informed about the sick world they live in, which they obviously have no awareness of.
There is a sophisticated, widespread, high level and well connected underworld network of pedophiles in this country involving high profile individuals among the highest levels of politics, law enforcement and justice officials, charity organizations and the like. It really is hard to believe, yet there is too much evidence to dismiss .... too many witnesses .. to many victims ... and too many mysterious deaths of those investigating these outrageous crimes against children.
It is a truth so vile, and so outrageous that most people simply cannot believe it exists.
Here is a documentary covering the above that was scheduled to air on the Discovery Channel years ago, but the plug was pulled. This is volatile stuff, and it's really hard for the average person to wrap their heads around. But everyone needs to watch this:
Penn Sate Football is just a drop in the bucket, and you can bet the truth goes much deeper than what is being broadcast in the media.
