“I’m just looking at the facts of this case and there’s so much that stinks here that needs to be looked into.”
Would you agree, then, that Paterno or, for that matter, any sane person, should have called police and not simply the campus police, when he first heard from the assistant coach of Sandusky’s actions in the shower instead of simply notifying his superiors?
The “campus police’ ARE the police - in every way, shape & form. Had the State College or PA State Police been called, they would have directed the caller back to the the authorities in the appropriate jurisdiction - i.e., the University Police.
No. I would not agree. If I’m being insured that everything is being taken care of, or it was looked into. I, as a person who was fed second-hand information (that turned out to be watered down), am not going above my superiors heads at that point. At that point it’s on the witness to go up the ladder. Only he knows what he actually witnessed.
