The Crux of Mike McQueray Matter.

I've read that the grand jury which issued the indictment isn't the same grand jury which heard the testimony. That may not seem like a big deal but it really is. The initial grand jury was able to see and hear the witnesses and experience the nuance of communication which can't be felt by reading a transcript. For example, Joe haters point to the "It was a sexual nature" comment as if it proves something. The full remark was something to the effect of, "It was a sexual nature. I don't know what you would call it." The second sentence is contradictory to the first and reading them together really doesn't make any sense. The first grand jury could listen and actually understand the remark in a way the second grand jury couldn't. The nuances of Joe's speech have been discussed here many times so I won't beat that dead horse. It's too bad there isn't an audio recording of the grand jury testimony. Maybe there is and nobody is allowed to hear it which wouldn't surprise me considering how shady so much of the court proceedings have been.
You are correct. The 30th grand jury is the one that actually heard/saw MM testify. The 33rd GJ is the one that actually recommended the charges. The 33rd GJ were read MM's testimony from the 30th GJ.

That's because the written evidence from 2001 totally dispels that narrative.
What written evidence?
Schultz's notes and the email exchange.

#1 - according to the "cover up" narrative, MM went to the coach's locker room, heard what he thought were sexual noises, assumed it was a coach getting it on with a coed . . . AND STILL WALKED INTO THE LOCKER ROOM. seriously, I don't know why more people aren't bothered by that. but more to the point:

#2 - Schultz's notes/the emails presented in the Freeh report . . . it strains credulity that these men are discussing the sexual molestation of a minor boy in the locker room. There is no urgency to their language, no smoking gun, no mention of CSA, and you would think if they knowingly covered up the sexual assault of a minor, there would be at least ONE INCRIMINATING EMAIL that said something like, "holy sh*t fells, what we are doing is heinous. I hope to God we never never never never never get caught and someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell Mike to keep his g*ddam mouth shut about this!!!"

....according to the "cover up" narrative, MM went to the coach's locker room, heard what he thought were sexual noises, assumed it was a coach getting it on with a coed . . . AND STILL WALKED INTO THE LOCKER ROOM.


Guess he figured it was nothing he himself hadn't done, so it was no big deal.
 
LOL! I tend to give some slack to Mike

we still don't know the full story of what a clearly corrupt state police/OAG did to get Mike to "enhance" his testimony.

but with that said, Mike's story falters on the fact that his reason for going to the locker room that night doesn't hold water, and his narrative once he got there is entirely unbelievable from the moment he approaches that first door.
 
Re: LOL! I tend to give some slack to Mike

Agree, and he will be skewered if this ever does go to trial. I'm sure he's praying that it does not.
 
Look at the facts Nut

I think we all agree that PSU administrators should have reported the alleged incident to police or DPW if they were told of anything potentially egregious. But they say that they were told of nothing more than horsing around. I don't think that's similar to hearing gun shots.

Furthermore, John McQueary & Dranov testified that MM didn't tell them about anything sexual.

It sounds like MM merely told C&S of horseplay and they responded by telling JS to keep kids away and reported the incident to TSM. With the benefit of hindsight they might have done more but there is no way to construe this as intentional coverup to protect football.

my opinion is Mike was manipulated by the police/OAG, possibly pressured due to his personal issues

I think he was told at first that Sandusky was a pedophile and they needed his help to put him away. but it seems pretty clear Mike was being set up (consider the source of the initial "tip" and the timing of when the police finally approached Mike)

I'm not sure Mike even remembers the truth at this point. But I also think there is something being held over his head that is keeping him from "doing the right thing" until the C/S/S trials are over.

you also have to consider . . . Penn State opened up its pocketbook to anyone claiming to be a victim of Sandusky. yet they pretty much ruined Mike's career and refuse to settle his whistle blower lawsuit. things that make you think.

Simply put, Simmons, you are flat out 100 percent wrong.

I've done a lot reading in the on the subject, I know there's more it.

That said, you guys have completely gone of the reservation. Not trying to flame of be disrespectful.
 
Mike's "testimony" and whether he was credible or not is one of the favorite subjects of the hater and spin artiste cabal. They get caught everytime.

If that truly was the case, I think you would have supplied some supporting information.

So are you saying Joe perjured himself to the grand jury when he testified that it was sexual in nature?
Joe qualified that statement, making it completely ambiguous. By cutting out the qualifiers, you've shown to clearly have an agenda.

Other important points... Joe was not cross examined. We also didn't hear him say it, so the transcript may not be presented correctly. ("Let's eat, Grandma" vs. "Let's eat Grandma") I owe someone else credit for this example, I stole it.
 
McQueary reported what he believed to be a sexual assault.


Except to his Dad and Dr. Dranov. OK, got it Ken.
