THE STAR WITNESS was anonymous, like each of Jerry Sandusky's victims.
He was described in the grand jury presentment only as "a Penn State graduate assistant." Anyone reading the 23-page presentment released on Nov. 4, 2011, would be horrified by the prosecution's version of what the witness said he saw a decade ago. In the locker room shower inside the Lasch Football Building on Penn State's campus, he stumbled upon "a naked boy, Victim 2 ... with his hands up against the wall, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky. The graduate assistant was shocked but noticed that both Victim 2 and Sandusky saw him. The graduate assistant left immediately, distraught."
The following day, he reported the incident to his boss, coach Joe Paterno, though he was short on specifics. And then Paterno relayed the report to athletic director Tim Curley. And then no one at Penn State did anything to stop Sandusky from preying on boys for a decade.
Long before the presentment became public, players, coaches and residents heard rumors -- that McQueary saw Sandusky fondle the boy, or that they were engaged in horseplay. But suddenly the rumors were not only true, they had mushroomed into the biggest college football scandal in history, one that wasn't just about the crimes of one man but about an administration's alleged attempt to cover them up. Most people here were surprised at how the prosecutors quoted McQueary in the presentment. Anal intercourse? This was far more graphic than the rumors had it; more than a few people asked: Why didn't Big Red stop it?

...I wish I’d seen this thread earlier, so I could post when it meant something, but if anybody’s still out there, well...
The article calls into serious question the credibility of MM.
...no it doesn’t; i don’t know what you were reading, but this article simply recapitulates what Jerry’s lawyers tried to slime MM with (BTW, Romminger just relinquished his law license here in Pa...good choice of lawyer, Jerry)and that some people, mostly PSU apologists, bought it hook line and sinker...it is hardly breaking news, you could have posted this two years ago and nothing would have changed...the main point seems to be how MM’s life has been ruined by this, and that it’s still not over for him...but again, good spin job at making it say what you want to say, which seems to be a special skill of yours...
With no MM credibility, all your hatred towards Joe Paterno goes for naught.
...as you well know, MM is not without credibility, or no grand jury indictment would have been returned against Sandusky, now would it...? I mean, seeing that the basis of the indictment was MM credibility, and lack of same for Curley and Schultz, your statement is ultra delusional, IOW, par for the course...and there would have been no grand jury for MM to be found credible at if it were not for Victim #1, a teenager who was twice ground into chutney by the Pa’s compassionate legal system before finally getting his day in court, and guess what? he didn’t even know MM, or really anybody at PSU; his testimony was simply his own personal experience...so to clear this matter up a little, the grand jury would have happened, even if MM had never said word one to anybody, MM just helped the indictment happen...so, you actually do your quixotic little cause a great disservice by pretending that MM is critical in this matter, because he is not...
...oh, and about your identity...are you really Dottie Sandusky...? Your attacks on the victims make me suspect you are...
