Official Graham Spanier trial thread.

McQueary told the exact same story he has told every time he has testified.


Not so sure about that. It's being said he testified in this trial that he told tim and garry he saw jerry molesting a boy in the shower. If that is a direct quote, then that's a change in his story because up until this point he has always stated "he made it clear" or "would have said" type of thing. If he would have just come out and said it instead of beating around the bush we may not be here. However, now it spills like he is saying he came right out and said it

Basically you can't read very well. That is not it all what I was saying.

Poor attempt to change the subject too.

Okay, sure.

Not a poor attempt to change the subject at all, I'm tired of posting about it and would rather just read updates on the trial.
 
So explain to me again how reporting to and investigated by DPW - that stopped Jerry from abusing boys in 1998.

Cause I'm not clear how that same logic would again work for 2001. The duo of Lauro & Seasock could have just done another whitewash job.

Jerry continued his abuse after Aaron Fisher reported in 2008.

So unless the guy is locked up - he was still abusing. He simply changed his territory.

Lauro never saw Seascock's report nor the other psychologist's report.

McQueary told the exact same story he has told every time he has testified.

That doesn't mean he didn't modify the story to add the "sexual" and "slapping sounds" ten years after the fact. Again, as I asked dukie, where did Schultz get the "sliding in the shower" description he told Courtney? Seems way too specific to fabricate.

You know, I was never sure who was lying, however, the more I hear the testimony and past statements, I am inclined to sayMM was not clear to anyone!!! I really think the Dr and his dad would have reacted much differently if he told them the sexual version!!!
ya think?
 
1) Question: was JS warned not to shower with kids in 1998 after the investigation?

2) In 2001, he was still showering with kids. I'm saying I'd somewhat connect the damn dots, which apparently Schultz did because he reached out to Courtney for advise. I never once accused any of them of a cover up nor do I believe they did. I merely said it would have been more prudent to heed the general counsel's advice instead of go the route they did. They did not err on the side that protected the school, the kid or themselves for that matter.

You are arguing with me when I'm kinda in agreement with you. I said the error was in not going to DPW. That is all.
Serious question. Did Jerry still have foster kids living with him through DPW after the 1998 incedent or had he already adopted them?

Just in today's notes there seems to be inconsistency. Not from Mike, but from those he spoke to.

1. I've seen reports today that Mike again stated he didn't report anything sexual to Joe, out of respect for the coach. The AP article however states that Mike stated he made it clear to both Joe and Curley/Shultz it was sexual. I'm not sure which take is true without a transcript.
2. Notes about Dranov's testimony today stated that he said Mike didn't "see" anything, but instead heard sounds and saw the arm grab a boy from behind a wall.
3. Curley said he was never told it was sexual by Mike.

So just from the unofficial reports from today there are massive inconsistencies, which has been common for 6 years. They may not be inconsistencies from Mike directly, but there are inconsistencies as to what others say he told them. And we still don't know what is true because there are no records of any of it.
 
I totally agree with this however, I think the point is this......If Dr. Jack does his Legally Obligated duty Soapy is probably stopped here, no matter what Tim or anyone else says or does. Therefore, we are not here now!
Sandusky played a dual role as Cash Cow and Trojan Horse. Those who may have suspected the worst may have had the greatest motivation to ignore.
 
How was he ever going to explain away the emails? The fear of a jury is real...no doubt, but when the evidence doesn't exactly exonerate you...you're also a bit more fearful of that jury too. Maybe he could have beaten the charges, but he looks pretty smart for taking that deal right now.

I can't imagine having to deal with cancer and dealing with the idiots in the OAG all at the same time.

Damn, apparently the defense didn't cross examine the "John Doe victim". Missed opportunity there. It is well known that he changed the date of his "abuse" to be after the McQueary incident to ensure a payout. And not by a little bit either. By a few years.

Which victim # was he?
 
He hadn't spoken to Mike yet so it can't be from mike.

That doesn't mean he didn't modify the story to add the "sexual" and "slapping sounds" ten years after the fact. Again, as I asked dukie, where did Schultz get the "sliding in the shower" description he told Courtney? Seems way too specific to fabricate.

If I can find it there is a video of an interview with Mike stating he never told Joe that saw anything sexual happen out of respect for Joe and also that Joe would not even have understood such behavior... I will try to find it. The center piece in all this is Mike.... he has always seemed an unreliable, loose cannon to me.

I was referring specifically to the testimony in this trial only. I'm aware that Mike is on record from prior testimony saying something similar.
 
So explain to me again how the reporting to DPW and the investigating by DPW - that stopped Jerry from abusing boys in 1998.

Cause I'm not clear how that same logic would again work for 2001. The duo of Lauro & Seasock could simply just rolled into town and just done another whitewash job.

Jerry continued his abuse after Aaron Fisher reported in 2008.

So unless the guy is locked up - he was still abusing. He simply changed his territory.

The actions of Seasock & Lauro needs to be addressed.

And he still abused Matt. Anyone at CYS gonna address that little problem?
JR Heim and Poole all received the report. You need to ask the AG when will they be charged.
 
I think that is purposeful by the defense
That is tricky because it is hard to appear sympathetic when questioning a victim. I sure think someone should have questioned him along the way. Being off by a couple years is one thing when you are 40+ years old, but being off by 3 or more years when you are 12-13 is like 25% of your life. Hard to imagine
 
People I haven't heard say that they wish they did more if they had the benefit of hindsight

-Mike McQueary
-John McQueary
-Dr Dranov
-TSM's Jack R

Dang when they saw what happened to Joe after speaking those words no wonder. They all realize Joe didn't nothing wrong and got crucified so why would guilty guys risk saying that?

Throw that in with Curley saying he should have done more and you have a very powerful case against Spanier. BOOM. Or not...
No way is that even close to being powerful, it is weak. Obviously something bad happened, something went wrong that JS was molesting boys using Penn State facilities to groom his victims. So everyone has regrets in hindsight, but to translate that into bad faith, malice, or any sort of cover-up is vaporous and tortured logic.

...and exactly what Alan Meyers told Sandusky's investigator he was doing.

Did Schultz say he told Spanier something special? Makes TC and GS look bad but not Spanier.

I think it makes C/S bad only in the sense of their GJ testimony. Otherwise, they are still basically saying that they didn't think any abuse had occurred.
