The fact that we continue to "bog down" in ...""old news" being beaten to death for the 117th time - - - with no relevant issues actually being discussed..." is just continuing confirmation that the legal process - ALL legal processes - involving the "Sandusky Situation" are being "managed from some back room somewhere".
While the currently known FACTS of this case can not exposed the DIRECT MOTIVES, there is undeniable questions concerning why key issues (and even the "space around" key issues) is so carefully being avoided.
ANSWER...CORRUPTION - There is AND HAS BEEN an invisible line between what the court has allowed and what is critical to resolving the TRUTHFULNESS of the State's case against EVERYONE. The continuing question is what is the purpose of slow walking and outright hiding details of key information is ....WHY??? Don't tell me that "that's just the way the court operates".. After 5+ years, there are still well defined signs that "strings are being pulled" so that each legal activity is controlled and thereby the confirmation of situations that the public (State) "Story" expose is also controlled.
I TOTALLY disagree with your contention that MM's account of "what he saw" has remained essentially consistent. If anything, you can see the "strings of manipulation" in EACH of the version which is publicly known. MM's accounts are based upon who his audience was AT THE TIME. If you could get the ACTUAL, TRUTHFUL scenario on which each "version" was delivered, you could validate this. Problem is....because of "Time Distortions" - meaning how can you question something 10+ years in the past ; great environment for telling "non-truths"- what MM said can not be properly vetted - even considering his full "under oath" testimony. Too many opportunities for corruption of what REALLY was said. This is why we have STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS for crimes because it become impossible to reconstruct and validate critical case information after enough time has passed.
Penn State, Paterno, C/S/S ALL have only one time period on which to be judged - that time is the MM report date of 2001! EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOTHING MORE THAN PURPOSEFUL DECEPTION. Reality...The case against "everyone Penn State" has been TOTALLY AND PURPOSEFULLY corrupted by co-mingling multiple time periods. Each "version" that MM delivered was to a different audience and therefore each version had a different content. Also...we don't know what "external influences" effected the delivery of each version.
SOLUTION....Forget versions, FOCUS ON WHAT CAN BE VETTED...the simple fact of exposing the "probable truth" in this case is just this....(1) Did MM report a CRIMINAL ACT - THEN...if he reported a CRIME, (2) what were the details of the crime... because THAT and ONLY THAT determines what was legal and proper to do.
Ten years AFTER this event, the only way we can effectively evaluate what was said in 2001 is to evaluate what THIRD-PARTIES to Penn State reported was said to them DIRECTLY. BOTH of those OUTSIDE OF PSU who MM reported he spoke to confirmed that - NO CRIME was observed. CASE CLOSED!!! The fabricated OAG story line is exposed as a criminal abuse of the Power of the State!
NEW CASE OPENED (A/K/A "The Real Crimes")....(1) Why did the OAG willingly and knowingly pressure MM to acknowledge a "Worst Case Scenerio" (that now appears to be of their construction) used as legal deception essential to supporting their "Story" and then ACTIVELY promote it in its entirety as FACT when other versions of MM's accounting were known. Add to that the fact that OAG investigator Fina PUBLICLY admitted Penn State Football exhibited no evidence of legal wrong doing in this matter?? (2) Why did the OAG charge C/S/S with criminal charges based on AT BEST highly suspicious "letter of the law" violations. Then (3) the final part of this NEW CASE...why 5+ years to even adjudicate the basic legal issues (like SOL) in the original charges brought against C/S/S??
THESE POINTS ARE KEY TO the OAG case and the promoted "Story" that the public takes as FACT. The newly exposed information all points to legal abuses by a group with controlling "strings"...something our REAL legal system says is CRIMINAL and PROHIBITS!
As to your last paragraph, they not only violate criminal law, but equally -and probably more importantly - violate both the U.S. and Pennsylvania Constitutions! With the most egregious violations being severe violations of the Bill of Rights and GUARANTEED DUE PROCESS PROTECTIONS belonging to every single citizen! IOW, protections against TYRANNY which have been ignored here via the politicizing and corrupting of the judiciary such that "public corruption" and "tyranny" have been the end promoted result in an "Alice in Wonderland", "through the looking glass", "down the rabbit hole" style - "world turned upside down". Such that the new saying on the "coin of the realm" should be stamped with "In Government We Trust" (Felli's "humanist" bull$hit) instead of "In God We Trust"....because in regards to those words, what they are referring to is our trust in God's (i.e., "The Universe's") fundamental "moral values" being correct (i.e., we are all endowed with inalienable RIGHTS that accrue to "God's Law" [i.e., "The Universe's Law"]) -- essentially, we trust in "providence" and providence requires that we be humbled by it. When the "Government" is released from the restraint of operating under "God's Law" (i.e., "In God We Trust"), this is what you end up with - "tyranny" and "Man's Law" (i.e., "In Government We Trust").
The basic SCIENTIFIC FACT is that life must be led according to some "Philosophy" - a collection of fundamental principles, values and rules that we live by, "an ethos" (the same Greek root-word of "ethics") or in Latin, "mores". The Western World has been guided by "God's Law" as delivered by Moses since shortly after Jesus walked among us - especially by his simplification of what he termed the "Temporal Commandments" (Commandments 3-10 which deal with how we are to lead our lives here on earth and "treat each other"), which came to be called "The Golden Rule"....Christ said (using translated modern language), "Treat others as you would have yourself treated in the same circumstance". IOW, "Do not be a hypocrite" - Christ warned that judgement will be rendered to each of us according to our own "standard" (i.e., fundamental belief system in reverse...hence his warning, if one believes in treating themselves better than others, "narcissism", and has no humility, they will be in serious trouble at judgement day.).
Tyranny asks us to "In Government We Trust" to "protect us" and "guide us" on these matters...this is the path to "Man's Law" and the corruption of "The Law" (i.e., Government) until you reach a specific Man, and his law (i.e., "belief system", "philosophy", "religion" or whatever word you wish to use) - Hitler in the case of Germany, Stalin in Russia, Chavez in Venezuela, Kim Jong-il in North Korea, etc...
The moral fabric of our society is in crises because our corrupt lawyer-turned-politicians have driven us down the "In Government We Trust" road for their own self-interest, self-aggrandizement and self-ingatiation - it is a cancer upon our Great Country that is crowding out the Founding Father's true intent and guiding principles (i.e., a true foundation under true right and correctness, "The Universe's Binary Moral Law"...."Providence"....there is only "right" and "wrong" and "wrong" is defined as some or complete absence of "right" [IOW, it can be partially wrong, "imperfect", like most of us or it can be "pure evil", the complete absence of "right"]....."right" is the presence of God's intent in the "equation", while "wrong" or "pure evil" is the complete lack of God's presence or intent in the "equation". See there is only "right" or "good" in the world much like other "physics" properties that we measure such as light & dark [Christ's favorite analogy] or heat & cold. There is no such property as "dark" or "cold" - there are merely shades or degrees of how much light or heat is present....dark means less light present than we would like just as cold means there is less heat present than we would like...but there is no physical quality in the universe of "dark" or "cold" - science tells us there is ONLY the physical measurable properties of light and heat. When there is absolutely zero presence of light, we call it "complete darkness" (area around a "black hole") and when there is no heat of any kind present, we call it "absolute zero" on Kelvin Scale. IOW, there are shades or degrees of "Right" or "Good", but there is also "Pure Evil" where the Creator's providence is totally non-existent (just like complete darkness, i.e., "black hole", is defined by the complete absence of light).
Essentially, "Tyranny" is the removal of "providence" from the equation all the way up to complete absence, aka "pure evil" - meaning you are living by flawed "Man's Law" who has made themselves God in regards to these intents, purposes and interpretations. Or as the Founding Father's would have put it, we've become a "Nation of Governed People; rather than people governing a nation operating under a "just system" (i.e., "providence" - providence requires HUMILITY to our place in the universe and the universe's natural order and law)"....."Governed people" - i.e., sheeple - are by definition "Tyrannized" and human life is turned grossly into a "commodity" rather than "sacred" and "sacrosanct" as the beautiful miracle it is -- the "inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" get thrown out the window, etc.... The irony is that this Country was founded to FIGHT TYRANNY - to the death if necessary - and yet this is what we've come to in 2016......lifetime liar, moral-hypocrite and self-ingratiator Hillary Clinton telling us how much she cares about "the kids" - your kids???? I've got news for some of you people - hard evidence of her and her ex-president, career politico husband generating $50 million in speech fees over the last several years essentially selling access to, and protection from, "The Government" suggests she likes herself and her-own one hell of a lot more than she likes your kids! This country has gone to "hell in a hand-basket" and anybody with even a modicum of intelligence can see what took us here.......a corrupted Government and Justice System that was corrupted from the "inside-out" by our wonderful lawyer-turned-politicians "Carreer Self-Engratiators".
