The amended witness certification for AM has been posted on the Centre County web pages. It looks like it will be an interesting day of testimony Friday in Bellefonte. Will AM's testimony be consistent with the statement he gave to Amendola investigator Curtis Everhart or what he said in his final interview with Inspector Corricelli and Agent Sassano that helped him win a settlement from Penn State.

IMO, AM's testimony very likely could be a game changer in the search for the truth in the Penn State fiasco.

Help me follow here, please?

As stated in the amended witness cert, there are contradictions galore. What exactly is the purpose of the session on Friday? The apparent truth seems stranger than the fiction if I read the Cert properly,

The purpose of the session is to get AM to testify under oath and try to determine exactly what happened in the Lasch building shower in February 2001. If AM credibly testifies that nothing nefarious happened, IMO JS gets a new trial. If AM credibly testifies that he was abused, I believe that Judge Cleland immediately shuts down the PCRA.

Has it come out before that AM went with JS to interview for the UVA HC job in 2000?

Friday is important as the OAG in their closing arguement claimed V2 was known only to God. Not to mention if AM testifies he was indeed V2 and nothing happened that particular night, well the possibilities there are endless...

That was news to me that AM accompanied JS on his UVA job interview.

Ugh

How can an attorney say "known only to God" with a straight face? How is that sort of statement to a jury allowed?

Sure you can. Hearing starts at 9:30. I don't anticipate it will run more than an hour or two.

BOT public session doesn't start until 1 pm. The public comments (if you will be able to hear them) start at 8 am and will be over before 9 am. Penn Stater conference center and Bellefonte court house are maybe a 15 minute drive.
 
I'll be stunned if he testifies that he was V2 and that nothing happened that night. Not after collecting all that money.

"Stunned"...Agreed! It would seem that he will offer no information whatsoever to dispel the notion that he was abused.

Maybe or maybe not. IMO, he probably doesn't want to lie under oath and put himself at risk of perjury charges. I believe that AM has a conscience and that this entire fiasco has been bothering him. I think it is much more likely that AM will come clean before Matt Sandusky, Aaron Fisher, or even Mike McQueary ever do.

What on earth would be used to prove credibility of anything AM provides as testimony. Unless he contradicts himself in this testimony session all he has to do is state all product of stress due to manipulation and influence by JS.

His sister testifying would be more likely to be productive.

I think he re-affirmed to Cummings after he received his Settlement that nothing happened in the 2001 shower incident.

He was vague to the investigators when Shubin was present, but that's all he had to be to receive a Settlement. Just the fact Jerry touched his leg earned him $3 million dollars.

I think the fact that AM had to be hidden pre-trial, and that Shubin had to forge a Statement of abuse to the Investigators for him, indicates AM wasn't totally on board with sticking the knife in Jerry's back.
 
I disagree. He simply denies that incident but claims he was abused other times and can't recall details.

If he denies abuse wrt to McQueary incident, that would be huge.

If he says that he only was able to recall details after repressed memory therapy that would be another huge win for the defense IMO.

It will also be very interesting if he testifies as to the therapist that Shubin referred him to. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he says that it was Dr. Cynthia MacNab.

I doubt that this witness will reveal anything that clarifies the situation. He'll stick to the storyline or "I don't remember.".

Having Shubin as your attorney should automatically cast a cloud of doubt over a client's testimony.
 
Trying to remember....did AM's mom work in Shubin's office? Didn't AM get a DUI late 2011, early 2012 which brought him to Shubin?
 
Can you bring popcorn into the courthouse?

Think it all depends with how many times he said he was abused at other locations ?

The shower incident would be pointless then.,, yes?

His point all along... Was JS abused him...regardless of where it happened..

He did get a DUI and I believe Shubin did represent him, but I'm pretty sure it was a few months before Jerry was arrested. And I think you are right that his Mom worked in Shubin's office.

What makes you think that he has a conscience? Further, I don't think he runs any risk of perjury given the climate of this whole thing. My guess is he tells them what they all want to hear and rides happily off into the sunset financially secure. Don't forget who his attorney is.

When push came to shove, he wouldn't tell the Prosecutor's Investigators what they wanted to hear. When they came back the final time for details, he had to be hidden, and Shubin had to forge a Statement.
 

From people familiar with him... his business model is essentially chasing after CSA victims, real or imagined, of Sandusky and the Altoona Diocese.
I give the judge in the PCRA hearing credit to insist on AM being called to testify and not continuing to fall for the "gee, don't know where he could be" nonsense.

His letters to the editors, his statement to Everhart, and the Sandusky family opinion of AM makes me think he may have a conscience.

You may be right and AM may follow Shubin's advise to a tee. On the other hand, Shubin has his own exposure. Also, it will be very interesting to see how AM would walk back his statement to Everhart and his 10+ years of close friendship with JS.

Most likely, Shubin is "on-the-take" as a "conspirator of convenience" in this all too public Sandusky-Penn State illusion.

If you believed that the State of PA, with the help of the BOT (the Legal entity that controls all Penn State actions), promoted this public media "Story" of PSU criminality so that MONSTER paydays from "The Bank of PSU" could be obtained by anyone who would state that Sandusky "...made them feel uncomfortable..." or "... put his hand on my leg..." while in the car - then the "Shubin money grab" makes sense.

There seems to be plenty of evidence that one fact QUICKLY became common knowledge in supporting the OAG case and "Story" - that the "rules of law" could (and would) be "bent" in this case. Wouldn't you be pretty confident if you were a "witness" and ANYTHING you said in court would be protected by "plausible denial" when you were cross-examined? Wouldn't you "take liberties" (pushed in the right direction by a lawyer who would be making $$$MILLIONS$$$ by your appearance alone) with an "under oath testimony" when it was obvious no one could refute what you said? You knew that the STATE OF PA was out to convict at all costs - so what if those "liberties" with your testimony were really fabrications. NO "MONSTER PREDITOR" deserves legal protection and certainly, Sandusky's "Nightmare Legal Team" did its best to make sure his defense was cooked.

My point here is SOMEONE throughout this matter has ALWAYS made $$$MONEY. Also, the OPPORTUNITY FOR CONTROLLING THE LEGAL PROCESS and thereby the PAYMENT OUTCOME has always existed and has MANY suspicious elements to it..

For example....there has been from the start an implied (or, as I believe VERBALLY stated in a "backroom" discussion - tape recorder off, please) immunity from any form of prosecution from "repressed revelations" concerning Sandusky's interactions with "victims". You just need to testify and then collect your $$$MONEY$$$ "...remember no one will know even your name - you are only a "victim #"..."

Additional to all of this is the Penn State BOT "vetting process". A process of claims payment which is Better than Rocket Mortgage...."Make Claim...ask millions...press button...receive check".

And wouldn't it be nice if as the lawyer for these "victims" you personally knew the only BOT individual who "oversaw" the claims settlement process?? If that were the case, how sure would you be a "check would be in the mail" for any claim...no matter how old, how absurd or how obviously fictitious was that claim. Confidence in the outcome (meaning NO RISK) is an essential factor in using knowingly "tainted" accusations to achieve income for an "in-the -know" lawyer.

So you see, a "back room guarantee of legal cooperation" was given to the LAWYERS involved here....how they handled it from there was a matter of personal "style".

Gee, I wish someone would see where these LAWYERS have donated $$MONEY$$ - money to what "charities" and to what political groups. I'm betting that a full audit of their financials would show some interesting patterns of spending, gifts and donations
