I think somewhere in testimony info (jimmy w might help) there was a call made to tim saying you guys are in trouble what I. The he'll did you guys say. So yes I think mike was shocked dumb founded at what happened in 10/11.
In my opinion mike had no reason to question the top brass of his department and at the university itself when he was told we have done all we can. Lots of reasons for my thoughts and I am give if you disagree but it would take an hour conversation to hash that all out. In fact we have had six years of board postings and while something's have changed most opinions have not. I think I can say some opposing opinions have softened if I was trying to be fair.
MM was a grown man when he saw whatever he saw that fateful night. If he saw a child getting raped, I can understand the 'shock' and not doing something that instance when he saw the child and JS walk out of the shower, fight or flight took over and he flew. But the fact he went home and talked to his father and trusted doctor friend, who were professionals and knew how to ask questions and get out of MM what he saw, and neither of those men, those men being good men, those men being educated men, those men being non-biased men, the fact those men did nothing other than say go talk to coach tomorrow morning, is all one needs to know. MM did not all of a sudden change his story to Joe the next day and then Tim and Gary a few days later. A grown man doesn't change stories on a day to day basis when he sees rape. A grown man can tell another grown man what he saw without being shy or bashful or ashamed or scared or whatever. A grown man says what he saw and if that grown man doesn't think the other person understood, that grown man tells them in a different way that they do understand. And if a grown man sees a child being raped, that grown man tells the police.
MM didn't see rape that night. MM didn't report rape to anybody after the fact. MM got put in a cop car many year later and was told by police that he either saw rape and didn't report it to and because of his cowardly action many more kids got raped. Or MM could tell the world that he did tell people and that they didn't listen and that he was in the right all these years. you choose which makes the most sense.
