I am sure the 11/9 BOT also would have wanted a lot of threads locked and deleted so they could move on, the same way every self-respecting hit and run driver in the country wants to move on after killing somebody while driving drunk (e.g.

Nobody here says Sandusky is innocent--it is, in fact, rather difficult to prove somebody innocent just as it is not possible to prove the null hypothesis in statistics. (You can, however, convert it to an alternate hypothesis, but the standard of proof is a lot higher. E.g. I can't prove product A is "no worse" than Product B unless I can actually prove beyond a reasonable doubt that A is better than B--which is not possible if they are actually equal.)
The victims might well be telling the truth. On the other hand, they did have an incentive, in the millions of dollars, to make false accusations. See for example "Fisher posted a photo to Facebook of his girlfriend lying on a hotel bedspread covered in cash."

Thanks for reminding me, I sent both links to Sandusky's lawyer.
The fact that there was an incentive does not mean their accusations were false, but it does create something of a shadow on the entire process. Even worse is the dishonest (now proven as an absolute fact) Grand Jury presentment and the fact that Victim 4 was told by investigators that other people had testified against Sandusky. One of the investigators then lied about this during Sandusky's trial.
None of this proves Sandusky innocent. All of it proves that his trial was defective and, like anything else that is defective, needs to be done over.
I will admit quite openly that Sandusky's exoneration would be very helpful. The enemy (11/9 BOT, Penn State bashers like Dan Bernstein and Buzz Bissinger, the NCAA, Tom Corbett, Linda Kelly, SNAP) would be wiped off the face of the earth in terms of reputation and credibility. They would be like Carthage after the Third Punic War. The facts are, however, what they are. If he is really guilty, nothing I can say or do can change that. On the other hand, if he was Nifonged, and we are dealing with another Amirault scandal to go with Kids for Cash, I and everybody else has an ethical obligation to make that right even if it would not help Penn State.
