Evan......Poll! Is this GTACSA or Evan? ...
Interesting read, Jimmy. Curious that Sassano said that CYS had no record of the 1998 incident, because it was expunged...even though its pretty damn obvious that a report was made to CYS in 1998. Therefore, since Schultz/Curley are being charged for failure to report in 2001 because there was no record of a report being filed - why isn't someone also being charged for failure to report the 1998 incident as well? Even though its pretty damn clear that the 1998 incident WAS reported.
This is exactly why the state has no case.
Also - why did Sassano state that Centre County CYS had a record of the 2008 report made by victim 1? Didn't that incident take place in Clinton county? So wouldn't the Clinton county CYS be the ones to have that record?

So your position is that instead of 4 Penn State officials who didn't report this to law enforcement and other legal authorities outside Penn State there were in fact 5. So how does that change the narrative across the country?
Joe's actual testimony is not on the public record. What is on the public record is a reading of Joe's grand jury transcript by AG prosecutor Bruce Beemer. In other words, it may not be accurate, especially "it was a sexual nature."
More likely, that passage was either screwed up in transcription or changed by the AG.
Many believe, given the amount of equivocating Joe was doing, that he said "was it a sexual nature?"
you really have to wonder what, if anything, could be presented to make him change his BS view of things
I say nothing will. He constantly shifts his facts, his arguments, his counter arguments . . . just a strong proponent of obfuscation
Please allow me to summarize. He's a lying asshole.
The bottom line is that we know the police were not notified. The only evidence to support CYS being notified is the equivocal testimony of Schultz and the equivocal statement of Courtney which you referenced.
The first person CYS would have interviewed had the report been made would have been MM; that didn't happen. I guess CYS could have completed the investigation without interviewing MM at all; no need to since the first hand eyewitness observations really weren't relevant to their investigation.
You can build your narrative on this house of cards, just don't expect objective people to buy into it.
When and if real facts come to light supporting your narrative I'll be on board. Until then it's all contrived.
You clearly haven't been paying attention. CYS in 2001 could most definitely received a report AND not lifted a finger to investigate.
Many families in Centre County would confirm that CYS ignoring complaints happens all the time. One mother told me that CYS often told her "unless you have blood or a dead body, we aren't going to investigate." This was after her step-daughter was forced to live with her abusive mother -- and attempted suicide -- twice.
You are not the only one....I swear as God as my judge that I was thinking the very same thing. In fact, there was a moment there where I went and checked to see if that picture was a gag. Unbelievable.
First novel I ever read for enjoyment.... The World According to Garp by John Irving.
Penn State Police is a full police department. They have jurisdiction over the area where the incident took place. If reported to PSU Police, the first 4 *are* off the hook as far as reporting is concerned. Harmon may not be if he was in the loop. Folks seem to think that PSU Police are rent-a-cops and the jurisdiction is in State College, but that's not the case. What you seem to be requiring would be like Philadelphia Police being required to report such an incident to Pittsburgh Police.I just asked a pretty basis question. How does expanding the group of individuals at Penn State who didn't notify outside authorities from 4 to 5, including the Penn State Chief of Police, help Penn State? Do you have an answer?
It was read into the record in the Dec 2011 prelim hearings. For health reasons, he was unable to attend and testify. It was agreed that his GJ testimony would be read.This has probably been asked and answered before and I missed it. Why is Joe's actual testimony not public record? Is there audio/video of it, or just transcripts? Regardless of what form, why would they have it read in instead of just submitting it however it was recorded?
Yes, but we're unsure if it was CORRECTLY read into the record. Schultz's attorney filed a motion regarding at least one error that was read into the record. There may have been others, but I'd have to check.It was read into the record in the Dec 2011 prelim hearings. For health reasons, he was unable to attend and testify.

Agree. But Scott has not said a word since Dec 2011 that JVP's testimony was represented incorrectly.Yes, but we're unsure if it was CORRECTLY read into the record.

Scott and Joshua LockeWas Scott actually there when Joe testified or did Joe have another attorney there?
I am aware of that. But one would think that would have been known walking out of the GJScott has said he doesn't know whether it was represented properly, but that he would find out.

Scott screwing something up in this would be no surprise at all.I am aware of that. But one would think that would have been known walking out of the GJ
I just said that...but in a more politically correct manner and without attribution. ;-)Scott screwing something up in this would be no surprise at all.
