Shamelessly borrowing lyrics from the song “The night the lights went out in Georgia”, the handling of these cases and Boccabella’s “call out of the retirement bullpen” always has reminded me of.....Judge Boccabella was asked to come out of retirement to hear the cases of Curley, Schultz and Spanier. I thought it inappropriate and odd that he volunteered comments to the press that were outside the scope of those trials, for example his opinion of what Paterno could have and should have done.
The judge said "guilty" on a make-believe trial
Slapped the Attorney General on the back with a smile
Said, "Supper's waiting at home and I got to get to it"
