I don't for one moment think that either Joe or the administration enabled JS in his actions.Failure to report one incident of suspected child abuse does not constitute enabling.
I suspect that in the context of the 1998 incident, the 2001 report constituted an Oh Shit, WTF reaction. They knew the 1998 incident was unfounded and could have rationalized not reporting in that light. It involved a most unsavory subject that nobody ever really wants to face head on. With the passage of time the whole incident fell into an "out of sight out of mind" mode.
There was a serious lapse in judgment; nothing more and nothing less. Speaking for myself, and I suspect for others, we all have at least one, if not more of those lapses throughout our lives. It certainly didn't erase all the great accomplishments of Joe's career.
The answers to your other questions are pretty straight forward. MM was an ant in the football program and he knew his place. Screaming from the rooftops may have effectively ended his stint at Penn State. There are any number of possible reasons why he didn't intervene.
Good lord you're an insufferable ass....Joe and MM didn't know the corrupt Corbett OAG misrepresented their GJ testimony via the GJP (which falsely and maliciously stated MM eye witnessed sex and reported it as such to Joe and admins) until the presentment was made public in 11/11. Shortly after that Joe made this press release (I guess you missed this??):
"As my grand jury testimony stated, I was informed in 2002 by an assistant coach that he had witnessed an incident in the shower of our locker room facility. It was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the Grand Jury report. Regardless, it was clear that the witness saw something inappropriate involving Mr. Sandusky. As coach Sandusky was retired from our coaching staff at that time, I referred the matter to university administrators."
Just because "all anybody was told about was horseplay" has been repeated ad nauseum doesn't make it so. The cumulative effect of McQueary's and Joe's testimony put that assertion where it belongs. The "horseplay" exists only in an alternate universe.

Joe is believable except when he's not. Got it.
What the hell are you talking about? MM and Paterno's testimonies agreed with each other.Joe never testified against anyone. Joe testified very briefly about an interaction with MM. MM's own testimony contradicts the key portion of Joe's very brief and truncated testimony, to say nothing of Paterno's myriad of qualifiers. If Joe's testimony in its very brief form had ever been stated in a trial, the jury would be stuck trying to figure out who they believed more, Joe or MM.
You and a band of about 10 idiots on this site are the only ones who believe it was nothing more than horseplay.You are correct, that fact that it is repeated doesn't make it true. The fact that it is true makes it true. Only in your alternate universe does anything more than horseplay exist. You've been told literally hundreds of times the multitude of reasons why Joe's testimony is unreliable. Your agenda simply stops you from listening to the facts. You are the one guy saying the world is flat in spite of the massive evidence to the contrary.
So you buy in to the ridiculous "bad publicity" narrative? JS was an ex-employee that the head coach didn't even like. There is no downside to MM reporting a crime, and to think otherwise is ludicrous. How about you answer the other questions too? So why would they contact TSM with a watered down version, why didn't MM intervene?
If that would be the case, Curley, Spanier and Schuktz would be screaming about it.I would not be so quick to swear the the 2001 incident was not brought to Tom Harmon. He is behind the Commonwealth "Guard All" Shield. Frankly, I believe GS had a conversation with him and he testified to his belief that it was reported to the same agency that looked into '98
FYI, cretins like you never offend me.
Schultz did speak to Harmon. Harmon's version was that GS asked if 98 was still on file nfqa. Seriously? A career cop wouldn't say why do you ask?Harmon is muted. GS is as well until it goes to court or is dropped. The latter is now a lead pipe cinch. No way on that campus that Harmon did not know there was another incident with JS.If that would be the case, Curley, Spanier and Schuktz would be screaming about it.
I'm sorry, I don't believe that CSS would have let it go this far without mentioning that they talked to Harmon about it. Not saying that Harmon didn't find out somehow, but if any of those guys spoke to him, that is the first thing they would have said.Schultz did speak to Harmon.

In court you answer the questions you are asked. Who was Gary's attorney when he testified?I'm sorry, I don't believe that CSS would have let it go this far without mentioning that they talked to Harmon about it.

I can lay out what I think is the most likely case. When Mike first heard the slapping he thinks sex, it sounds like someone having sex in there. Once he enters the lockerroom expecting to see something sexual he ends up seeing a naked Sandusky behind a boy. Because he expected to see sex & saw Sandusky naked with the boy, he linked the 2. Later when he gets home & Dranov puts him through all that questioning & he realizes he can't say for absolutely sure he saw a sex act, Mike realizes he doesn't have much in regards to proof on Sandusky. I believe Mike's story to Curley & Schultz was careful in making it clear what actually saw & didn't see. Because of this, like Dranov, Curley & Schultz had doubts. When Curley calls Mike after he met with TSM Mike was probably led to assume it was looked into properly. I think it was Curley's conclusion it was horsing around & that idea permeated to the others. I think Mike probably had doubts himself as to what act he actually witnessed but when the OAG called & met with him it was vindication in Mike's mind of his 2001 first impression. So to sum up in Mike's mind it probably started as sex but the then Dranov's questioning laid seeds of doubt & then once OAG came around it was sex again.

Your mental defect - was it a genetic thing, or was there some traumatic accident involved?I'm sorry, I don't believe that CSS would have let it go this far without mentioning that they talked to Harmon about it.

Great; if you are correct the whole country now knows that the Chief of Police of the Pennsylvania State University was told of the incident and did nothing. Nice move Marshall.
What the hell are you talking about? MM and Paterno's testimonies agreed with each other.
As opposed to the false narrative that it was the university president, vice president and athletic director that conspired to protect JS? You really are an idiot.Great; if you are correct the whole country now knows that the Chief of Police of the Pennsylvania State University was told of the incident and did nothing.

No one is saying that nice strawman though. The problem with you and the rest of your cohorts is you are giving more weight to the parts of Joe's testimony where he's speculating (sexual in nature, fondling--"I'm not sure exactly what it was"--"I don't know what you'd call it") than you are to the parts where he isn't speculating (inappropriate shower that made MM uncomfortable).
Only an imbecile/someone with an agenda would do so.
You and GTA are the one's who love Joe's own words so much (except of course when he says "I'm not sure exactly what it was" you want to discount that part), well, here they are one more time since you conveniently didn't reply the first time I linked them:
From Joe's written statement to the press:
"As my grand jury testimony stated, I was informed in 2002 by an assistant coach that he had witnessed an incident in the shower of our locker room facility. It was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the Grand Jury report. Regardless, it was clear that the witness saw something inappropriate involving Mr. Sandusky. As coach Sandusky was retired from our coaching staff at that time, I referred the matter to university administrators."
Here's Joe's GJ testimony that essentially says the same thing (page 176 of 12/16/11 prelim it was read into the record by scumbag Corbett crony James Barker)
"I didn't go any further than that except I knew Mike was upset and I knew some kind of inappropriate action was being taken by Jerry Sandusky with a youngster".
After reading the above you tell me...what did Joe KNOW versus what did he speculate on?

Go easy on Seth he is a special kinda stupid...
Seth can't seem to keep the tires inflated on his city issued vehicles. Is it any wonder why? He's a douche whose political career is on life support.Haah...he sure is...his arguments are so weak and devoid of logic..I shutter to think he ever represented people in a court of law
....The answers to your other questions are pretty straight forward. MM was an ant in the football program and he knew his place. Screaming from the rooftops may have effectively ended his stint at Penn State. There are any number of possible reasons why he didn't intervene.
You would think that Spanier would have said that he or the other guys reported it back when his lawyers had that huge response to Freeh.In court you answer the questions you are asked. Who was Gary's attorney when he testified?
He stated he thought it was reported. Interesting that he wasn't asked who was purported to do it.
Harmon's story is unbelievable to me.
Only on this board do they tolerate your insane thoughts on this case.Your mental defect - was it a genetic thing, or was there some traumatic accident involved?
Just didn't question it, he said it. You want what he said to be a question, but that is not what happened.Oh, so now you're including Joe's questioning about what it was? Good talk, Russ.
Just didn't question it, he said it. You want what he said to be a question, but that is not what happened.
getmyjive11 said:You and a band of about 10 idiots on this site are the only ones who believe it was nothing more than horseplay.
As for you last question, MM didn't intervene because he was told it was taken care of. That and he is a massive pussy. That has been established with his conduct during the event that he witnessed.
Joe is believable except when he's not. Got it.
What was Joe's serious lapse of judgment? There is no evidence that he ever inquired who the boy was and if he was OK for something that was described to him as possible moral turpitude and which he described in his grand jury testimony of "it being of a sexual nature". He followed procedures and reported it and got out of the way; Not good enough. those he reported it to took it to a mandated reporter at TSM. This seems to be very sound all the way, especially in light of the likely 'Oh Shit, WTF..... another baseless report' reaction by all at the Admin level. I sincerely doubt they knew what they were dealing with. But I bet TSM did.
As opposed to the false narrative that it was the university president, vice president and athletic director that conspired to protect JS? .
Hey there is a our little fella cr666.... the groundhog stuck his head out of his hole to spew some OGBOT.....
You know there is no such information. Which makes you a liar.Information contained in three million documents and gleaned from over three hundred interviews say otherwise.
Just keeping with THE SCRIPT. Even Louis the Liar is reduced to calling his "independent investigation" nothing but an 8.5 million dollar opinion. You and your misanthrope comrades have been exposed. Perhaps there are more substitute teachings positions like the one One Term has for your buddies?Just keeping it real. And like the Donald, I have big hands.
