You know, I came here looking to get caught up on the situation and get some real news and facts, and all I see are these jokes and pot shots.

Unreal.

You have been on the board much longer than me so you may know better but is there a way to request something be done about those comments and jokes. It is seriously disturbing that someone would even post them

Are you are arguing that the judge should have recused himself from the case, due to his relationship with Sandusky?

Do you think that Paterno should have recused himself from any internal investigation due to his relationship with Sandusky?

I think the judge is a herself???

Also, are you serious? Really? You don't see any conflict of interest or potential bias in a judge presiding over this case?

And you are comparing that to Paterno overseeing the actions within his football program?

WOW...:crazy:

I see that the judge is facing the same conflict of interest. As I stated earlier in this thread, the prudent thing for Paterno to do would have been to recuse himself from any investigation. I do not see how one can reconcile the following positions:

The judge should have recused herself.

Paterno should have been involved in the investigation.

My view would be, in order to keep it hush the way they did-they would have had to have a conversation with Joe Pa about keeping it quiet as well. So that also tells me Joe Pa knew it was going on the whole time.

If he knew a student was doing this, would he not go to the police?

The situation you have described is possible; it might even be likely. It does not constitute proof and/or knowledge, though.

I agree; but, an email to a friend is not an assertion under oath. IFF he said something different under oath, then he has contradicted himself and made himself out to be a liar.

Correct.
The public perception court maybe getting the best of him right now over perjury. If he did indeed stop it, Im trying to understand why he would lie about it and why that is a better position that what he is possibly saying now.

Another question can be induced:

IFF he observed the boy being raped and IFF he stopped it, why did he not bring the boy to the hospital, remove the boy from Sandusky's custody, notify the police, and/or notify the parents?

If it appeared to be awkward horseplay, I can entertain the idea of him stopping it and going home. If it was rape and he successfully acted to stop it, it becomes much more difficult for me to entertain the idea of him not taking further steps at that point; although, it is still possible.

The possibility that the alleged victim will testify that he was not molested or abused also makes things a lot murkier.

of course his lawyer comes off as a nutty conspiracy theorist when describing it. Tells me he's going to pull some "if the glove doesn't fit" stuff

In spite of the lawyer's claims, I will be very surprised if this actually happens.

Nothing would surprise me at this point. What if one of the alleged victims changes his tune because Sandusky had the victim murder the previous DA? That may not be too far-fetched at this point.

That would be a crazy turn of events. But one victim changing his story while the other 17 hold firm probably won't make too much difference.
