"But has he been tried yet?"

He was indicted by a grand jury. He is set to go to trial. You can say all you want about a ham sandwich could get indicted by a grand jury, but read the grand jury transcripts. McQuarry testified under oath that he witnessed Sandusky anally raping what looked to be a 10 year old boy. If he's lying, he can be charged with perjury and go to jail himself. He apparently was very emotional while on the stand giving his testimony.

There is other stuff in the grand jury transcripts. Sure, he's innocent until proven guilty in our court of law. It doesn't mean that the rest of us can't read and use our brains to figure out this guy is a pedophile.

I really recommend to my fellow freepers - DON’T read the grand jury transcripts, you’ll be better off.

I haven’t read them, but was told by someone that did that it will make you physically ill.

I read the transcript. The grand jury explicitly writes they find McQueary credible and the indictment specifies eight victims. However, I think the trial itself will prove to be a lot more of a gray area than the media lets on.

Certainly strange to read McQueary claiming to witness a man sexually assaulting a child and as an initial response he calls his dad to find out what to do, then he meets with Joe Paterno and then with the AD.

The reports portray this as clearcut child rape, but I just cannot wrap my head around McQueary relaying the incident in such a way to his father, Paterno, and Spanier and none of these people reacting in any way. Sandusky will forever be known for these accusations, but I don’t think the indictment will lead to a guaranteed legal conviction.

The fact no one said “Did you call the police? Let’s call the police.” leads me to believe McQueary relayed the incident differently to the Penn State staff than he did to the grand jury.
