He did the right thing years ago......The Grand Jury affirmed it.

The grand jury was only determining legal guilt. They had no say as to what was the right thing to do. The right thing to do would have been to STOP Sandusky. Anyone that knew that Sandusky was raping boys and did not act to stop it to the best of their ability is GUILTY of not doing the right and moral thing. Lawyers hide behind 'technicalities'. Why are you?

Mmmm... I think that the GJ was 'led' a little bit by the DA. The old saying, "A good prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich" may apply here. I read the GJ report. It's full of gaps between what Person A "said" versus what Person B "heard". Little attempt was made to get at the inconsistencies. The GJ must determine if a crime was committed, and who to indict. I think that a reasonable person could conclude that Paterno lied, as well as violated the law in much the same way as Spanier, Curley & Shultz.

I'm not.......Paterno fulfilled his legal obligation as mentioned by the Grand Jury. Forget the facts that are exonerating Paterno, why are you so hell bent in condemning this guy?

I suspect you fall in with the category of the rest of the liberal elitists who love nothing better than taking down a highly respected icon in whatever genre they are engaged in.......be it John Wayne in Hollywood or Joe Paterno in college football.
