Here's the problem in a nutshell. It wasn't anybody's job to refute the allegations. It was the prosecution's job to prove them. The principals have been in a position from the day Joe was fired where their guilt was presumed, rather than their innocence. Penn State proceeded to reinforce that presumption of guilt with each subsequent action it took. After all this time and the incalculable damage done, not one allegation lending any credence to the narrative was proved. Not one!
And some cover-up! Every single coach on JVP's staff willingly gave up their cell phones and computers to be checked....NOT ONE message taking about JS. Because they all were afraid of a 5-10 160lb Italian guy who wore thick lensed glasses. Gimme a break.
