Official Graham Spanier trial thread.

Because, TC let everyone know that Paterno lied about 1998. He knew about it. TC then said that Paterno told him only about "horseplay" and not of something of a sexual nature. So who is lying? TC or Paterno? It's one or the other. Take your pick.

You still here gmj? Haven't you been humiliated enough??

i have been out and about and haven't had time to read up on the days activities. I usually have more opportunity to follow this but have been tied up. It seems that early on tim has lied about several things including knowing about 98. It seems that Schultz version changed a bit as well to be a little more serious but not sure how that ties anything to spanier regarding the specific law.

Tims health must be really affecting his memory he just couldn't recall anything today

So we shall see what happens tomorrow.
Prosecution has rested so the tidbits you predicted Schultz would tie together against Spanier didn't happen. Not only didn't they happen, but both Schultz and Curley fell on the hand grenade and threw themselves under the bus. Appreciate your response and not hiding though. Respect that.

That's fine, but then you have to go back to Paterno. The reason that MM's original testimony was believable was because Paterno said that he also conveyed something of a sexual nature to TC. So again, who is lying? TC or Paterno?


You lost - just stop - Tim specifically said he himself made the decision not to report
End of story
Drops Mike !
 
Jive - you lost! Get over it

All last week you and your buddies acted like there was some kind of huge bombshell coming this week - well the prosecution case is done with not so much of a sparkler from your side
It's not a competition, it's about finding the truth, right? So the truth is that this whole case hinges on what Paterno told TC. What did he tell him? Did he lie in his GJ testimony and screw everyone over, or is TC lying? If you aren't willing to dig into that question, then you will forever have your head in the sand.

I read if TC does get jail time, it would be house arrest. Does that include his Marriot timeshare if he invests in one or perhaps the soft side of Ranger's new bed?

Just trying to bring a little levity.

I see Spanier getting off on Conspiracy but the same sentence as GS and TC for Endangerment. Hoping for off on both.

Nothing hinges on what Joe told Tim - NOT A DAMN THING DOES
The truth is that Tim made the decision
It has NOTHING to do with Paterno
 
Tim stated clearly today Joe knew about 98. The emails validate what he stated. It's not a maybe anymore. He knew Jerry was investigated in 98. For 5 years people denied this and the email link, but I won't now. I still don't think it was malicious, but he knew.

Okay, so Joe knew about an investigation in 1998 and it's not possible that he had no recollection of it by 2011/12? If your experience doesn't allow for that possibility consider yourself fortunate.

As was discussed many times Paterno said he didn't know what to call it. And it's very likely neither of them were lying. Good day to you.

No recollection of his DC being investigated for showering with a boy? Come on now... that isn't exactly run of the mill stuff. I would believe that he may not remember details... that is reasonable. But not remembering the incident all all? ......

How childish are you? Seriously?

Me??? please stop you're embarrassing yourself

The states case was very very weak today - their case was about GS
Nothing whatsoever hinges on Joe

Your line of reasoning isn't congruent at all


I'll say this - I've listened and debated respectfully with you, STD and Elvis, et al because I always keep an open mind and try to learn....but....after today it's obvious you had nothing and your agenda is clear
 
For sure. Curley said that it was his decision to go with the alternate plan, so that blows up the Freeh Report right there.

Right. It seems like today was a good day for the Paterno lawsuit -- it doesn't sound like anyone used the "blame the dead guy" strategy to throw Paterno under the bus and Curley admitting that the decision was his own to pursue the course of action they took undermines the whole "Paterno was the mastermind" Freeh conspiracy theory.
 
As was discussed many times Paterno said he didn't know what to call it. And it's very likely neither of them were lying. Good day to you.
And as has been discussed, many people see that as him saying that he knew it was sexual in nature but he just didn't know exactly what it was.
 
Hard to say. Jury could conclude that it was all a big conspiracy and what would you expect two co-conspirators to say. Strange things happen during deliberations.
Love to know what the statistical margin of error is for the average jury.

I'm not talking about the GS, I'm talking about the truth as to what happened. I said long ago, and reiterated it right before C&S plead guilty that I thought none of them should have been charged due to the poor laws at the time. It would not surprise me at all if GS gets off. But if you care about PSU, GS means nothing at this point. C&S already said they failed, so that narrative is set in stone and isn't changing. If you are actually looking for the truth, you cannot just ignore Paterno lying about 1998. You cannot ignore the contradiction between his GJ testimony and what TC testified that Paterno told him in 2001.

In reality, you aren't looking for the truth, you are looking to get Paterno's name cleared.

Re: Curley's memory and lack of recall - he probably said he couldn't recall 15(?) times...but the one thing he absolutely remembered? He said he absolutely remembered that he told Raykovitz about the 1998 incident when he met with him in 2001. But couldn't remember much else. Just an FYI
 
Who said Paterno was told that "his DC was being investigated for showering with a boy"? I must have missed when someone actually said that they told Paterno that specific information.
We don't know what Paterno was told exactly, but he was clearly very concerned (per the emails) and TC said that he was informed. If you want to pretend that he wasn't told much information about it, you go ahead. I find that highly unlikely.

He remembered making the decision of going with the alternate plan that totally blows up the Freeh Report. He also said that MM never mentioned anything sexual.
 
I suppose that's because MM was made out to be a lying POS. His sexual testimony was refuted by the prosecution's own witnesses. His lies have fueled this whole thing and he needs to be held accountable.
Honestly, the more I read about this trial, the more furious I am that that lying sack of shit walked away from this with $12 million. He got paid for either leaving a defenseless boy in harm's way or lying about what he told whom (depending on which version of the story you believe). And yet his word is deemed more trustworthy than a man who spent a LONG lifetime doing things the right way?

Give me a fvcking break!!!
 
Then why would he reference Joe in his email the way that he did? Clearly, Joe himself had an effect on Tim's decision.


And what effect was that, bookkeeper? Not uncommon for me to decide to wear a blue tie on a given day, then change to a red one after discussing it with my wife.

I'm on an iPad mini so I won't type too much.....lucky for you!

That is complete and utter BullSh!t

The TRUTH is this
Joe did exactly what he should have, with the information he was given, in his role, at that time......PERIOD

Not to toot my own horn - well actually maybe I will toot it a little - in my profession, among other responsibilities, I serve as the Director over Human Resources AND the Privacy Officer AND the Compliance Officer of a child welfare non-profit - in my role I had to rewrite all of our CPSL policies and procedures BECAUSE of this situation - I SAW PSUs updated policies -

I've probably made that statement above 50 times over the past five years about Joe doing the right thing

But I was always cautious to state that if other info came about I could change my mind
And like I said in another post I've listened to you and your buddies strut around like peacocks last week

But..... The prosecution has rested and guess what? Joe did exactly what he should have, with the information he was given, in his role, at that time!

There is nothing else to say - he handled it correctly
 
Then why would he reference Joe in his email the way that he did? Clearly, Joe himself had an effect on Tim's decision.
Look, every single person in this has a mind of his own, including Curley, who happened to be one of 3 people who took responsibility for his own decisions. (Ahem, Raykovitz.). No matter who it wants it to be so, Joe Paterno was not responsible for anyone's actions or decisions other than his own.
 
Re: Curley's memory and lack of recall - he probably said he couldn't recall 15(?) times...but the one thing he absolutely remembered? He said he absolutely remembered that he told Raykovitz about the 1998 incident when he met with him in 2001. But couldn't remember much else. Just an FYI

Which actually should have created a bigger spotlight on TSM/JR

Your IQ is very low or you're a punk... Or some combination of both.
