Mike's Lawyers Want Even More.

[dshumbero]

BELLEFONTE - Penn State, even as it appeals $12.3 million in verdicts awarded to former football assistant Mike McQueary in a civil suit last fall, is now trying to limit additional costs from related legal fees.

At issue are fees associated with the $5 million Judge Thomas Gavin awarded McQueary in November on a whistleblower claim he was treated significantly differently by the university after being publicly named as a cooperating witness in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse investigation.

Gavin also permitted McQueary to seek recovery of legal fees, which in a wrinkle in the state's whistleblower law, are tacked on top of the underlying award.

Penn State and the BoT dropped this huge pile of shit, and are squirming in a lake of it up to their necks. Someone give me a rock to throw at their heads.

Personally, I think this is an effort to get Penn State to settle and settle quickly. Penn State has to be feeling pretty unlucky at this point, and it may not want to risk another hearing.

Mike's lawyers want more money that they have already been paid for. Of course the BoT and Barron are so stupid, they'll get taken down again.

And all for doing nothing but watching a child, naked in a shower with a middle aged man, at night, and not calling the police.

If Mike is entitled to legal fees under the statute, then Mike's lawyers have a DUTY to seek those fees. As some here have said, it makes for a nice stack of bargaining chips--about 1.667 top 2 million bargaining chips, to be exact.

Are you SURE you want to run through this appeal, PSU? We could settle now and mike will pay me out of his recovery, or you could appeal and lose and owe us the above amount on TOP. Your call.

Is there ANYONE who thinks that anyone among PSU "leadership" (and that includes both the Administration and EVERY member of the BOT........ EVERY MEMBER):

Cares even the slightest bit about burnIng OUR money in a giant weenie-roast?

These assholes - ALL of them - couldn't give one damn bit of care to squandering HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS (which the do every other month) ........ if - in exchange - they could get a hand job from one of their colleagues ...... or a chance to say "409"


They are pathetic


ALL OF THEM
