And not sticking to their original decision or plan. Sounds like Spanier and Schultz left it up to Curley.

Absolutely, it was proven in a court of law that there was NO COVER UP.
Freeh isn't off the hook. IMO, the not guilty verdict in regards to conspiracy strengthen Spaniers civil case.
BOT can't say that they did the right thing due to fact that they paid millions of dollars on a report that was proven wrong in a court of law.
I wish that was true. What they will say- accurately- is they couldn't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.
The AOG 0-14 on the felony charges, so there was a lot of doubt.
Maybe she can catch a ride on Zippy's share of the private jetYes a misdemeanor. Maybe Roxine can come and explain it to all of us LOL, but I am sure she is busy either spinning her blogs or hopefully on a flight to East Lansing to advocate.
Silver is appealing it. And the statute of limitations is 2 years for that offense.
Yeah, they also had to be unanimous to find Spanier not guilty on the conspiracy count. So now you can declare a righteous, hard-fought victory over evil and corruption. I hope the three misdemeanor charges have made you happy. Perhaps you can do us all a huge favor now by returning to The Daily Kos, writing about your big win, condemning all the misguided souls in Happy Valley for not caring enough about the poor children like Aaron and Matt. BTW, go screw yourself, you miserable, ignorant c*#t.
It's amazing that anyone would be happy that three people were found guilty of crimes they didn't commit by a corrupt legal system that fails to protect children.
6 years. 3 misdemeanors. No felonies. No cover-up/conspiracy. And the only reasons for the misdemeanor charges are 2 plea deals and a jury pool that was tainted by the media attention and/or driven by emotion such that they felt they had to find some level of guilt.
It's amusing to see the idiot Shuttlesworth conversing with "heslef" as DiMorphio, Oruszlans, and "Mitch Kumstain".
What a jackoff from Pitt.
Thanks.
This is what is fascinating. Courtney's explanation of the shower incident and Allan Meyer's explanation of the shower incident are almost identical with respect to the horseplay and "sliding around in the showers" and "sliding around on the floor".
Unless Courtney knew Allen Meyers in 2001, he could have only gotten that account of the shower incident from Schultz's understanding of McQueary's Report. The chances of Courtney and Allan Meyers coming up with the same story 10 years apart is beyond mind boggling.
Maybe you were right in 2004/2008. Maybe Mike DID have a grudge against Jerry going back to his playing days, and used this grudge as an an excuse to get on Joe's good side when Kenny Jackson left for the Steelers.
Who knows? Sorry. But something just doesn't add up here.
In baseball terms, the OAG has a batting average of .125. Back to the minor leagues for them. The most amazing thing is how not making just one more friggin phone call has wreaked carnage in this entire situation. If that was done, even if the report was not accepted, then the monkey was on someone else's back. I always go back to the issue of an old adult male showering with a kid at 10 o'clock pm. Where is that typical behavior? That coupled with the 98 info should have set off bells and whistles. It was an exercise in not having enough experience or solid policy to have a specific response in place. Ultimately, the guys who were responsible for handling it were the ones who paid a cost in the end.
Whenever it gets exposed as to who protected him and the 2nd Mile. Any guesses???

The point is you missed a key element, the key element, in your earlier post.
Does anybody have the time, patience, or knowledge to list all charges made against each of Curley, Schultz, and Spanier, and the disposition of those charges (dismissed by judge, dropped, guilty plea, not guilty verdict, guilty verdict)? If so, much appreciated.

If you take one minute and look at it from the point of view of the brave young men who stood in open court and testified against their abuser - this is what they see:
Sandusky - Guilty
Spanier - Guilty
Curley - Guilty
Schultz - Guilty
And while there is no TRUE justice for a crime that lasts forever - this is at least validation for these young men and their families...and that is all that matters to me.
This will be my last post on this board. Thank you for allowing me to post here.

Please file your tax returns, you obsessed fraud.
What they see is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ due to fiscal malefeasance on Penn State's part.
I'll look forward to not seeing you back here.
And none of this "justice" has done one damned thing to actually fix or call attention to the failures of JR, TSM, CYS, OAG and the broken child welfare system in PA.
You got your scalps and now you can move on. Good riddance. Well still be here fighting for real justice and reform.
she's going back to "Clarskburg" with her head held high!!
More like the Shaler area of Pittsburgh where he can continue to be a jackass.
Of course, she doesn't even care that she has the wrong scalps--scalps of innocent people.
Fixed it for you, you forgot all the felonies that they were innocent of. You only mentioned the 3 parking tickets that millions of dollars were wasted on. Money that could have been spent going after those who truly failed the victims, not on this witch hunt. Of course if you truly cared about the victims, you would realize this.
Hopefully she takes the last train to Clarksburg and stays there.

I wonder how many posts she has on the MSU rivals board now that she's gone from here?
The problem is, he did not supervise SECOND MILE's children.
Gonna go out on a limb here an guess some where between zero and.............................................................................................................................................................0
Unless of course she finds a way to make it about Joe then...
Mike McQueary NEVER included Joe Paterno in that group description. Not this trial, and not in any other testimony. You have an unhealthy Joe Paterno obsession Roxine.
BTW, has your investigation of Arrow of Maryland been completed yet? Do they use Friend Fitness or any other questionable practices transferred from Second Mile? Nellie is anxious to know if kids are safe in your state.

I agree with you, actually here (Shocking). His lawyers failed him because at the very least they could have had someone speak to this exact point on the stand. But they didn't and I think that's ultimately why Gspan lost the case.
Nobody here who has bothered to train on how suspected CSA investigations follow a protocol is overreacting. There are levels of detail in 98 that only Schultz (and HARMON <- I know he was Chief in '01 but was he in '98 or was it someone else? ) knew about because that's what is required. Joe was in the category of least "need to know" as was Spanier, and Tim as direct supervisor was in the middle of the spectrum.

Another situation where Gspan's defense team could have put someone on the stand to make that legal point.
Did they ever receive an answer?
Jack Stripling of the fake Chronicle fairy tale version of this trial said something about the judge checking out of his hotel before the jury came in ready, as in to leave town right away and that's why he (Jack) knew the verdict or some other such nonsense.
I will never again trust an article from the Chronicle of "Higher Education" because I found out this week they hire people to write nonsense who obviously have only a "Lower Education".
BTW I don't believe one word that Jack Stripling tweeted OR wrote. It was more like he spent all his time trying to cozy up to anonymous "Harrisburg sources" and little to ZERO time in the courtroom. I seriously think he mailed his reports in.

They requested it for AFTER the verdict, silly!
If I were Boccabella I'd say NO. From the questions the jury were asking at the time, he already knew there would be an appeal. Why ruin these peoples' lives if there's a distinct possibility a guilty decision would be overturned?
We rarely agree, but I thought it was a poor idea to not put on a defense that included mentioning the 2001 reporting law and whose responsibility it was, particularly referencing Raykovitz' testimony. He could not argue the Judge's earlie Ex Post Facto allowance or he would have been admonished and then made to look not believable.
Some that were in the courtroom thought it was VERY effective after the over-the-top theatrics, gyrations, cartwheels, and handsprings Iron Woman Ditka and Patrick Schulte performed in their irrelevant 3-ring circus display.
Silver stood there and read the statements from each PROSECUTION witness that made his case for him.
