“Most people are as unaware of the basic fact as they are that Sandusky was a FORMER Penn State assistant at the time McQueary came to him. In Paterno’s mind Sandusky was no longer his responsibility.”
Sorry, but wasn’t Sandusky still hanging around, with young boys, at the Penn State facilities after this incident? Paterno had no responsibility in that regard? Color me skeptical.
Either McQueary was a credible witness and both he and Paterno observed Sandusky parade boy after boy in front of their noses for the next dozen years, or McQueary was not a credible witness and he should have not been employed all those years by Paterno.
Well, I think the writer (a very good one, who I’ll now follow) is speaking from an administrative standpoint when he talks of js being an ex-assistant.
I think the important points are that up and until Joe’s testimony and eventual firing, all we had was victim #2 (McQueary/shower) and victim #4 (Central Mt. High School).
Assuming Joe didn’t know about 1998, which he testified he didn’t, how can he possibly be accused of being involved in a coverup?
Do football coaches have control over who maintains their tenured faculty status at your school?
So if you they are saying that if you don’t have direct supervision responsibilities over a man raping little boys you should do nothing?
