on Weds just AFTER Gameday said it was coming? Suppose the judge throws out the charges re the kid in the shower? Isn't that the linchpin of Penn State's connection to the case?
Suppose the judge sympathizes with PSU and wants to give PSU this win in front of the whole world?
Yeah, pipe dream, I know.
They've been to South Bend nine times since 1993, so I would assume they do.

. Ain't happening here in PA. Great thought, though.
Just trying to find a way to put a positive spin on it.Geez, Dem you've turned into a conspiracy theorist overnight
Agree that a new trial on all issues ruling is basically not happening. However, the judge could strike the conviction(s) on the victim in the shower (whom the prosecutor said is known only to God, anyway), and set Jerry up for a new sentencing hearing which would change nothing EXCEPT that PSU connection.
You do realize if it isn't "favorable" it will be because someone was sticking to PSU?Just trying to find a way to put a positive spin on it.
What are you saying? Sandusky in an orange jumpsuit complete with shackles? And at the end Corso puts a giant Frank Fina head on?

Oh I do. If he gets it, the world was wrong. If he doesn't get a new trial, it was fixed.
I'm pretty sure the first trial was a sham,either way.
I find it a little unusual to announce it like this. Why not just release the denial then rather than give people time to prepare for it since I don't think most people would be too bothered by a denial. Judges don't normally operate in the Friday at 4:55 p.m. fashion. That's something businesses with bad news or corrupt prosecutors dismissing a case where they overcharged are more likely to do. Besides, the Sandusky indictment was leaked briefly on a Friday and published on a Saturday if I recall. I don't think anyone missed that news. I think Sandusky's guilty of something, but I think there were a number of irregularities with his trial involving the judge, prosecution, defense attorneys and witnesses. I would not be all that surprised if a new trial is granted.
Unfortunately your view is wayyyy too binary. A new trial on all issues is almost impossible to imagine. Striking the 'boy in the shower' charges leaves Jerry to rot in the same prison cell he is in, but defeats a big chunk of the narrative that was used to F PSU.
I'm pretty sure they got it right at the end of the day.
dem, Just remember. "It's all good!"Just trying to find a way to put a positive spin on it.
Plans with the four-letter network were made well prior to that release.
It's also possible that some hated the witch hunt and media backlash that they need the first trial to be a "sham" because the BoT allowed and made it about PSU instead of Jerry? Many feel Jerry is where he belongs and aren't crying foul for him. It doesn't make them out to get PSU or hate PSU or whatever the hell else gets floated around here. There was a ton of collateral damage and it did suck...but was it really the mistrial of the century?
If on the merits of a sound legal argument JS gets a new trial, that is justice and a victory for all citizens. It is a matter of fairness and principle. I say that believing he's guilty.
Funny you say that.
Yesterday, on XM, Rece Davis was on one of the shows. I think he was talking to Mark Packer. Mark has always been pretty positive about us and I have never heard him criticize Joe. I have talked to him a couple of times, and I think he thinks we got a raw deal.
Anyway, yesterday, Mark was talking VERY positively and going on and on with Rece about ESPN Gameday going to "Happy Valley", and what a great scene it will be! Was raving about the White Out and how it was one of the best scenes in all of College Football! May have even mentioned how great it would be to be in front of Old Main.
Every time Rece replied, he sounded like he was going to a funeral. I'm thinking to myself "What's up with Rece"? I was just thinking that he is afraid that they will get a lot of anti-ESPN signs and chants thrown their way. But now, your post has me all tin foil hat also. He sounded like he would rather be having a root canal without any novocain than go to Penn State. Maybe they ARE getting ready to do another hit job.
We are getting too close to getting in the Playoff, and like last year, they will find any excuse to keep us out. The LAST thing they want is "Ped State" crashing their January Party.
I like Dem's theory better!!!
BUFFALO, ESPN security will filter out anything antagonistic
Hey dem, have they legalized MJ in WV?on Weds just AFTER Gameday said it was coming? Suppose the judge throws out the charges re the kid in the shower? Isn't that the linchpin of Penn State's connection to the case?

They passed a medical MJ bill. But it turns everything over to big pharma. Slow learners.Hey dem, have they legalized MJ in WV?
You can link every press release/announcement to how favorable/unfavorable it is to PSU/JVP. Anything coming out Mon-Wed is definitely not good. If it has a hint of being favorable it is announced Friday at 4:55 pm. The fact that this is a Wednesday at noon announced three days in advance and right before Game Day is in State College tells me I already know the answer.
I also crack up at the binary nature of some people with regards to JS. Did he have a fair trial with good representation ... no. Is he guilty of some of the 48 charges ... yes. Is he guilty of 45 of the charges ... this is the most debatable question. Based on everything I have read and heard and seen post trial, I would put it in the 10-20 range. But what do I know ... I'm just a pedophile-enabling JOEBOT!
