Ray Blehar....MM caught in lie?

Question - wouldn't Louis Freeh, a former Federal Judge mind you, who claimed to have "continuously interfaced" with our PA Office of Attorney General - have gone over all correspondence with various witnesses with our AG? I mean, he claimed to have "followed the facts".

(She asks rhetorically, because we know what Freeh's "mandate" was - simply repackage the presentment for his prosecutorial pals)




The first of your tweets looks like a product of a crazed individual to me. I wonder: what would it looks like to the average ? To the average person, I imagine the second of your tweets appears crazed as well.

One other thing: You have gotten us nowhere other than down distracting rabbit holes. LULZ

I hope the Mission Disinformation team has been paid enough to make it all worthwhile.

Really getting tired of this.
 
Thanks, Ray.

But wouldn't Curley or Schultz have stated that by now?

And if that is so, then the Commonwealth owes some damages to C/S/S, and perhaps to PSU also.

What is your take on Curley talking with Raykovitz? Should that have counted as making a report to a proper authority, in your opinion?

I noticed something about Paul Suhey being the treasurer of the Mt. Nittany Medical Center (I think that was the entity) when they bailed out John McQ and Dr. Dranov by buying their share of a nearly $2mm debt and taking over their business. Anything to look into there that may be connected to who says or does not say what about all this? Or just another in a long, long line of 'the small, small world of State College' relationships?

Thanks.
From a legal perspective Curley's "report" to Raykovitz does not meet the requirements. IF he was required to report then the report had to go to some legal authority - police, CYS, DA, etc... One cannot meet their burden by reporting to a mandated reporter. Hypothetically, one could not report this by contacting a school teacher in Phila (for the sake of discussion let's assume school teachers were mandated reporters at the time). IMO once Curley and Shultz gave up on the argument that they were not required to report anything, regardless of what MM told them, they were doomed.

Not if they (Tim or Gary) didn't send it. It may have been someone in athletics. legal, or the police department, who was threatened to keep quiet.

The 2001 case has a lot of problems, starting with the victim is unknown. How can the AG establish a duty of care if they don't know who the person is? That said, yes, the AG should have charged TSM because of the duty of care situation -- given all the victims came from TSM.

Following the money is the rule for all scandals. That deal went down around the time of the incident (it closed in 2012). Suhey wanted Joe out. Dranov & John Sr. needed money. Not unreasonable to think that money may had some influence on their recall of events.
 
McQueary sent two different emails to Eshbach/Sassano on 11/10/2011.

--
He sent one on 11/10/2011 at 10:22 am [McQ civil trial, Defense Exhibit 38 with Eshbach's reply at 7:53 pm on the same day, and Defense Exhibit 43 with Sassano's reply at 12:31 pm the following day].

2ln8kkj.jpg



In this email, McQ seems to be adding to a prior email or conversation and says,

"Also... I never went to coach paterno's house with my father... it was me and only me... he was out of town the night before... never ever have I seen JS with a child at one of our practices... I have only seen him once or twice."

McQueary also complains, "I am being misrepresented in the media... as are some others... it just is not right."

Eshbach replies to that email nine and a half hours later, at 7:53 pm, and says, "I know that a lot of this stuff is incorrect and it is hard not to respond. But you can't."

Neither McQ nor the OAG ever claimed McQ went to Paterno's house with his father.

Neither McQ nor the OAG has ever suggested McQ went to Paterno's house that night.

McQ directly refers to "being misrepresented in the media." It's pretty clear McQ is not referring to misrepresentations contained in the GJP (that's actually in the other email).


FWIW - I don't believe McQ was referring to his dad being out of town. I think he is saying Paterno was out of town (or he thought he was out of town) and that's why he didn't go right over to Paterno's house that night, perhaps because that's the only situation where he might've had his father tag-along, since he was at his dad's house that night, and he was at his house the next morning (and not with his father) before he went over to Paterno's house. Whatever. This topic is all speculation at this point. What isn't speculation is what Eshbach told McQueary in emails, and what she testified to. I find that far more interesting & compelling.


--
McQ sent the other email on 11/10/2011 at 3:10 pm [McQ civil trial, Plaintiff Exhibit 43]. If you follow the timestamps, he sends this email after the one mentioned above, and before Eshbach replied to it.



w6rtzr.jpg



In this email, McQ asks,

"What are my options as far as a statement from from me goes... will I be in any legal trouble... any trouble with the law?"

"I feel my words were slightly twisted and not totally portrayed correctly in the presentment... I may be wrong, but is there any way that Tim [Fleming, his lawyer] and or I can get a copy of actual GJ testimony."

Obviously in this email McQueary has issues with what was in the GJP.

There were no exhibits published with Eshbach's email response, but she did testify about what she told McQueary (on 10/17/2016, morning session, p.99-100). She told McQ not to say anything (about his words being twisted in the GJP) because it would hurt her case - actually, to be specific, she said McQ not saying anything would strengthen and save her case.

Now, if you really want to see how Eshbach characterizes McQueary's statements, just compare and contrast her two testimonies below:


2iqcqkn.jpg



Nearly five years after the GJP was released and Eshbach was still twisting.
 
Eshbach seems to be referring to inaccurate reporting, not the GJP.

Not clear in Mike's email whether is he referring to his dad or JVP being out of town.

So if she is referring to the inaccurate reporting why is it so important the MM not say anything?
 
From a legal perspective Curley's "report" to Raykovitz does not meet the requirements. IF he was required to report then the report had to go to some legal authority - police, CYS, DA, etc... One cannot meet their burden by reporting to a mandated reporter. Hypothetically, one could not report this by contacting a school teacher in Phila (for the sake of discussion let's assume school teachers were mandated reporters at the time). IMO once Curley and Shultz gave up on the argument that they were not required to report anything, regardless of what MM told them, they were doomed.

I hear ya. I asked because the prosecution used Raykovitz as a witness, and during the questioning when he said that Central Mtn reported something to him, he was a proper reporting authority - something more than just a mandated reporter, I think. (I think I have that right about his testimony, but I'm open to not recalling that correctly).

So, if he was a proper authority for CMHS, then why not for PSU/TC? He received a report of something that needed to be looked into. He indicated that the fact-finding is on him if he is a proper reporting authority.
 
IMHO it's more likely that this is a reference to Paterno.

I agree with you. It seems like he was explaining why he didn't go to Paterno immediately that night, not that he didn't actually meet with his father. (And there'd be ZERO reason for Dranov to allow himself to be dragged into such a lie).

Who knows what "out of town" means? Was Paterno attending a HS FB game somewhere? Did he go to see a movie in Bellfonte? Did he go out to dinner in Boalsburg? All those things are "out of town," but wouldn't be an overnight trip.

And frankly the same goes for the Dad Mq. He could have been "out of town" but still be able to come back home to have a talk with Mike that very same night.
 
To save their own skins, so many people hung out a third party bystander in all of this, and allowed him to be the focal point of all the attention by the media. Others jumped in to further their own personal causes and vendettas.

This is what our University, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania define and leadership and governance. How sad. How terribly, terribly sad.
 
Did that marine testify at Jerry's trial? 8 of his victims did and they are why he is in jail. Jerry did it...sorry you cannot handle it or don't want to believe it. Hell Charlie Sheen and Jesse Ventura stated 911 didn't happen...so you aren't alone with this stuff.
I honestly could care less about JS but to answer a question with a question, why did the prosecution "hide him" during the trial.[ not even sure anymore if that was when they hid him min the woods so i could be mistaken]

Or, likewise, was McQueary under the potentially mistaken belief that Paterno was out of town that evening? The context is less than clear. There are a number of possible interpretations for this statement that don't involve John McQueary, Senior's whereabouts.

I don’t get how this email turns into a debate about Jerry’s guilt/innocence. It’s like somebody pointing out it’s cloudy and others responding that it’s cold outside. One has nothing to do with the other.
This email is significant because it shows dishonesty on behalf of Esbach. And it calls into question Mike’s story of going to meet his father the night it happened. It seems perfectly possible that Mike’s story about what happened (he has now misremembered the year, and also when he saw his father) is seriously flawed.

Exactly correct!!!!!

The statute in effect in 2001 stated that a mandated reporter had to make a report or cause a report to be made. Rather ambiguous.

If you go by the amendments to the law in 2014, then neither Curley, Schultz, or Spanier were mandated reporters. There are also related statutes that exempt administrators or those who don't come in routine contact with children (i.e., those under 18) from requirements related to child protection.

Neither the prosecution or defense "hid" the "marine" during the Sandusky trial. Allegedly, he was kept out of touch by his civil attorney, Andrew Shubin.

BTW, neither the prosecution or defense put this "marine" on their witness lists, so the point is moot.

Mike sent two emails and he got one (universal) response from Eshbach, which was essentially the AG knew information in the GJP and the media was inaccurate and that Mike should not respond to it.

Bottom line: If Mike would have put a statement out saying he was UNSURE about what he saw, it would have taken the "starch" out of the presentment and the AG's ability to scapegoat PSU would have been compromised.

That is correct....the lynchpin to putting JS behind bars was MM. Everything else was circumstantial at the point in time that the GJP was released. So they punched it up and sat on anyone that could undermine MM's story. I think they were just going to drop charges on Curley and Schultz down the road. Problem was, when the thing totally blew up, they could no longer walk it back. Then, they had to find a way to support the distortions in the GJP and if that meant putting innocent people in jail, so be it.
 
Sadly there are idiots everywhere and it does suck. The nature of that man's crime and the sh!tstorm the media made of it in combination of the bad leadership made it about a football program even though most level headed people know better. Joe is a victim of his own good life as people expected him to be a saint and not to be human which he was. Joe trusted those above him to handle it and they really could have done a better job. Saying that here is taboo, but they really could have. Do I think they were malicious criminals out to save Jerry...not at all. Their relationship with him and his grooming for decades allowed him to fool people, but the mob doesn't care about that...they never did...they wanted blood. One phone simple phone call to a proper reporting agency and the narrative is WAY different. One phone call. Everyone will have their own opinion of Joe and MANY hated him long before this...especially the little sisters of the poor like Pitt, RU, and UMD folks.

One of the few posts you have made that I agree with completely.
"Joe trusted those above him to handle it and they really could have done a better job" That statement is true but IMO even truer if you add the words "in hindsight" right before they really could have done a better job. Everyone including GS and TC wish they had made a phone call but I believe that Tim felt telling JR [source of kids and JS's boss] and banning JS from bringing kids around was appropriate.There are so many true villain's in this saga and TC is not on my list.

OK, but once informed, wasn't Raykovitz then required to report? There is no logical reason to not believe that whatever Curley knew, Raykovitz also knew. He did nothing.
 
So you want to talk about the one that didn't testify over the 8 that did? By all means you can and that is what sucks about it being tied to PSU...but isn't what I am really talking about if you read my other replies.
Yes, I do want you to talk about it. V2 is the most important because it is the single sole incident that caused this to blow up. We have since learned that the GJP characterization of it was a lie, that V2 himself said it was a lie, that nobody covered up anything and the grand-standing drunken tree-crasher lied, and that well over $200M was stolen from Penn State. It was the fulcrum on which every other alleged incident was tied. So yes, I do want you to speak about it.

Often you will nose in on one of these threads and type "SSDD". Guess why? Because folks like yourself will never admit that none of this ever had anything to do with Penn State, Paterno, football or the student body/alumni culture.

The evidence seems to be overwhelming that 2001 was completely false. apologies should be issued and monies should be paid back.

Yeah - that's truly "WTF" territory. Honestly - that's disbarment level stuff.

Blehar totally buries the lead there. MM's words in the e-mail are insignificant vs. Eshbach's.

Huh.
Most of us knew about Eshbach's words in October 2016 and that she advised Mike not to respond to inaccurate reports or make a statement contrary to the information in the presentment.

That's why I didn't lead with it.

Victim 2 is unknown and it is BETTER for Penn State that it remains that way until someone comes forward with some legitimate, reliable evidence that places them in the shower with Sandusky on February 9, 2001 -- and that person confirms he was not victimized.

There is no convincing, legitimate, or otherwise reliable evidence that the person purporting himself to be Victim 2 was in the shower with Sandusky on February 9, 2001.

The AG could have easily convicted Jerry without McQueary's testimony. He was the 8th prosecution witness. By the time he testified, the jury had already decided Jerry was guilty. Jurors stated that they found Victim 4's testimony to be credible and that testimony did in Jerry and PSU. That's why the prosecution put Victim 4 first.

The Sandusky case was used to take down PSU/Spanier and that was why the AG embellished Mike's story.

What sort of "reliable evidence" would convince you or anyone else?
16 years ago, a million why haven't you come forward before questions from media, OAG needs this person to never appear, Shubin and current V2 need this person ne. ver to appear. I can't imagine any "evidence" could ever be allowed to see the light of day.

I don't agree. The case wasn't about the trial, the case was about having enough to get an indictment. At the time leading up to the Grand Jury, the case really began and ended with MM. After the thing blew up, there were witnesses coming out of the woodwork. Some were legit, others chasing their chance to cash in (we'll never know which were which). By the time of the trial, Paterno, CS&S and PSU had been completely trashed. there was no way to walk that back by the prosecution team, the damage had been done. To promote their own careers, the continued with the charade against CS&S and Paterno because they had no other choice.

The damage to PSU was the GJP, not the guilty verdict on JS.

Yes. I believe the "marine" is not Victim #2 because I have not found any legitimate evidence that places him in the shower with Sandusky on February 9, 2001.

Next, the entirety of the evidence reveals that his statement to Curtis Everhart on November 9, 2011 was contrived (made up).

Was he a different victim? Under the legal definition, yes.

To promote their own careers, the continued with the charade against CS&S and Paterno because they had no other choice.

The damage to PSU was the GJP, not the guilty verdict on JS.
What you wrote is propaganda.

The AG wasn't investigating the case until October 2010 - and that was spurred when Corbett saw Spanier with Onorato.

The AG sat on the 1998 police report when they got the case in March 2009. The 1998 police report was used to find half of the victims (4, 5, 6, and 7).

There is little doubt in my mind that the AG also knew about the McQueary incident when they got the case. They waited until Corbett was elected governor to move on it.

No one advanced their career by getting involved in the Sandusky mess. In fact, the opposite occurred. Careers were ruined.
 
I agree with you. It seems like he was explaining why he didn't go to Paterno immediately that night, not that he didn't actually meet with his father. (And there'd be ZERO reason for Dranov to allow himself to be dragged into such a lie).

Who knows what "out of town" means? Was Paterno attending a HS FB game somewhere? Did he go to see a movie in Bellfonte? Did he go out to dinner in Boalsburg? All those things are "out of town," but wouldn't be an overnight trip.

And frankly the same goes for the Dad Mq. He could have been "out of town" but still be able to come back home to have a talk with Mike that very same night.

Sorry, but who uses the phrase "out of town" to mean anything other than away on a trip of some sort?

Q: Can you and your wife join us for dinner?
A: We can't, we'll be out of town.

Now no one would read that and think anything other than that you and your wife are away somewhere. Who McQueary was referring to is open for debate but what he meant by "out of town" is not.

Propaganda.
I'll elaborate a bit.

Had the AG followed he leads provided by Aaron Fisher, who identified the eventual Victim 9 on the first day he was interviewed, and the information in the 1998 police report, the investigation could have been completed in about six months.

This is where I get off the train. That is just a little too conspiracy theory for me.

My point is that MM's was told to and did punch up his story. CS&S were arrested because they were the ones that could undermine MM's story. When it blew up, nobody could walk it back without being arrest and/or having their reputations ruined. So they decided to go with the CS&S charade until this day.

"the night before" is important.

JVP was out of town the night AFTER he talked to Mike.

The night before Mike talked to JVP, then WR coach Kenny Jackson went to Joe's house to visit him before he left for the Steelers. Do you think Mike was unaware of that situation?

Also, Joe's first response to Mike is telling: "If you're calling me about a job, don't bother."

How do you know they had the 98 report in 2009?

Spanier was not arrested in 2011 and was free to talk. He was not arrested until a year later.

Curley and Schultz were arrested for the purpose of getting them to FLIP on Spanier. I have posted the evidence of this (Erickson's notes).

FWIW, Spanier and others at PSU are absolutely convinced that this was all a vendetta by Corbett.

The evidence backs it up.

There's no reason that Mike (a GA) WOULD be aware that an assistant coach visited Joe to resign. To suggest otherwise means you think Kenny Jackson told others on the team before Joe, or that Joe immediately called the rest of the staff afterwards, including GA's. Ridiculous. There's ZERO CHANCE Mike would have known about that.

As for what "out-of-town" meant, suppose Mike called Joe's house, and Joe was meeting with Kenny. Sue Answers, and Joe says to Sue - tell him I'm not here. She fibs & says he's "out of town". Or any other number of possibilities.
