Brucefan,
As being a PSU fan don't you think you would be a little bias? I hope you don't get all your info from the message boards on "Black Shoe Diaries".
And you keep using John Ziegler as a source. Ziegler is a televangelist preaching to the PSU supporters essentially telling them what they want to hear, spreading conspiracy theories and most importantly feeding his ego by keeping his name in the news. I am sure he also does not mind all of those clicks on his website either.
Ziegler is now speaking with Jerry and Dottie Sandusky together in jail and insinuating Sandusky did nothing wrong because of his reaction to Ziegler's questions? So now Ziegler is a hardened NYPD detective and can tell when criminals are lying because of their "reactions"? He has no experience in this endeavor and any good criminal who sits in jail all day can make a novice think they are innocent based on their reactions. What else does the perp have to lose? They are in jail for life and this guy is a sliver of some hope he can get him out.
Ziegler also takes tiny portions of the case and tries to create cracks in those parts but not the big picture. It gives hopes to the PSU masses much like a televangelist gives hope to those who cannot be healed yet thousands still follow and provide them money.
But what Ziegler does not address is 1. Sandusky showering in the PSU football locker room after hours with an underage boy 2. McQueary seeing the showering and a sexual act that night between Sandusky and the underage boy 3. McQueary telling JoePa and others about what he saw 4. McQueary was later promoted by JoePa 4. and Sandusky was allowed the PSU football locker room up until he was charged with a crime over 10 years later. All of this indicates JoePa believed McQueary because he later promoted him and kept him around. It also indicates JoePa did nothing to remove Sandusky from the PSU football facilities and allowed him to continue to use the PSU football facilities on a daily basis. And please do not tell me it was in Sandusky's contract, if JoePa wanted Sandusky out of the PSU locker room he could have made it happen the day after the incident.
Again, it would not take Woodward and Bernstein to find out Sandusky had been banned from the PSU locker room and to start asking questions. Up until that point Sandusky had been just as much about PSU for the past 30 years as JoePa, so why would JoePa unceremoniously ban this famed JoePa assistant from all PSU football activities? JoePa had to know this and questions would be asked. Keeping Sandusky around made it look like everything was normal in Happy Valley.
Look, I understand it, PSU supporters cannot see JoePa in any other light than what they though was true. Just like any cult, they cannot believe what they have their whole life is now possibly false.
Sure , I am biased. The bias comes out in the firm of caring at all about the truth,,and not believing the media narrative that makes no sense, and a Freeh report which was total bullshit . Listen, if any human being deserved the benefit of doubt, it's Joe.
Stop with John Zeigler hate already . Focus on the facts that support JOE and PSU covering up for Jerry, or all the facts that work against that fairy tale .
As for your stated 4 points, you quote factual errors
1/ /showering with a 14 year old boy. , certainly may be judged as normal but it's not a crime . It wasn't ruled a crime, and the kid himself has only ever written and testified that nothing happened
2 / Mike MQ . Did not witness, or tell Joe that he witnessed a sexual act . His story has changed numerous times years later, but again, there was no crime that accured in the shower as said by the jury
3/ Jerry had access to The campus based on his retirement package. There isn't anything Joe or anyone could do about that . Joe did not like Jerry. Jerry wasnt working for Joe, or PSU. Throw him out for no reason, and Jerry sues PSU for all they are worth .
Please people think, just a little . Why would Joe and state be getting all this attention , yet all of Jerrys time was spent working with the second mile, and no one seems to question how they could have continued to let him lwork with little kids?
Where are the trails?
Do you really think the NCAA would be backing down with their sanctions against PSU if they thought the upcoming trials would prove that PSU was. liable, and conspired to keep this quiet? Seriously .?
Do you think that they would agree to a deal to give Joe his wins back if there was any evidence at all, to show Joe acted improperly,and would be raked through the coals during a trail?
Do you believe the NCAA , that they backed off because of PSU 's actions since the arrest because of good behavior?
Or is it more likely this whole thing is an embarrassment and the NCAA wants it all to just go away, since it's completelbullshit
You tell me what makes more sense.
