You do realize this is a different jury?
Not surprising...pretty good assumption that some kind of decision would be made today...why keep all his stuff in his hotel room ? Why not check out...nothing there IMO...
very likelyI know all those close to MM absolutely deny this....what else would they say. However, raise your hand if you would be surprised that Mike was coerced by investigators? It would explain a great deal. MM might have been put between the proverbial rock and hard place. Investigators threatening him or Pop with charges etc. It is very much in character with how The Commonwealth operated in this case.
That's an assumption on your part. Because every jury punished PSU and JS, doesn't mean they did it because of MM's bullet proof testimony. No one needed MM when they had the media doing their testimony for them.Every jury so far has taken McQueary's word at face value.
After five years, what's another week or two?this is now getting ridiculous. Just an absurdly long time either way.
Every jury so far has taken McQueary's word at face value. Even the charge that Sandusky was acquitted for was basically the jury taking McQueary's testimony at face value.
4 out of 5.Wasn't Sandusky found not guilty of three of four charges that pertained to that night?
so if the jury doesn't come back with anything today and the judge pushes it until Monday do they go home or are they stuck in a hotel over the weekend

Great.As to #1, I give McQueary a pass for what he did ir didn't do in the heat of the moment. I agree with your reasoning. But for 10 years??!! Sorry, inactivity for 10 years can only be explained by the fact he's lying about what happened in 2001 or he's a coward.
$35 worth!!!Can't wait to see all the facebook posts from jury members this weekend with them on hotel beds covered in money flipping off the camera. #JuryDutyStipend

Your best work everHere's some arithmetic for you: 9+1+1 = police that Saturday morning.
and remember, the PA State Police absolutely knew of his gambling on college football games... a fact that if it came out would have ended his coaching career immediately
Too bad the Jury didn't.Speaks to his character. He was willing to take that risk knowing there were consequences, just like sending pics of his junk to coeds.
I'm sure towny, dukie, and lar don't see those flaws though.

I can understand why you might reasonably think that........ but I would doubt it.I know all those close to MM absolutely deny this....what else would they say.

Nothing wrong with that. I'm pretty hung myself.Looks like a hung jury.
He's a Loser in my mind starting with the night he walked in the locker room and did nothing. Too many people give him a free pass like he was some young undersized kid who couldn't do anything to protect the young boy. Sorry, he should return any cash judgement to Penn State for his role in all of this and go find a real job like the rest of us.Speaks to his character. He was willing to take that risk knowing there were consequences, just like sending pics of his junk to coeds.

Considering JS would die in jail on the ridiculous V8 convictions alone, acquittal on that one count doesn't really mean that much, does it? But keep standing up for your heroic whistle blower.Guilty of four out of five. Not guilty on one - involuntary deviate sexual intercourse.
According to this attorney the difference between rape and IDSI is as follows:
"Per os" in the first description refers to the mouth, meaning IDSI generally refers to rape involving oral or anal penetration. Rape is typically charged in instances involving vaginal penetration.
So when McQueary testifies that he didn't see penetration, the jury could logically conclude that the state's charge of penetration wasn't supported. In other words, they could have believed him, but still returned a not guilty verdict on that charge.
I wonder what they do in that case. A new trial?Nothing wrong with that. I'm pretty hung myself.

Careful. I assume you don't own a barn.Where does the totally sociopathic, disturbed, crooked Matt Sandusky fit into all of this complete and total bullshit?
Sounds like EWOC to me!Then Jack calls Bruce and tells him to give JS keys to a hotel work out room to replace PSU facilities when he's with little kids.
I wonder what they do in that case. A new trial?
Apparently not the grand jury that actually heard him testify.Every jury so far has taken McQueary's word at face value. Even the charge that Sandusky was acquitted for was basically the jury taking McQueary's testimony at face value.
At this point, I'd take that conclusion to this mess.It's all part of the plan, jury is hung, case gets thrown out, GS walks on a "technicality".
I'm waiting for Gerald Ford to chime in....At this point, I'd take that conclusion to this mess.
For sure. Hung jury, GS walks & kicks Freeh's arse in civil case due to TC blowing up Freeh's assertion that JVP instructed him to go with the alternate plan.At this point, I'd take that conclusion to this mess.
Still waiting outside - it's 3:30
Sounds like EWOC to me!
