Yes and no to the trial by media. I agree that the wheels of justice must turn. But this particular case is not in a stage of “oh, somebody made an unsubstantiated accusation”. For close to 2 years, this has been investigated by a grand jury. There has been a lot of testimony UNDER OATH, which resulted in the two perjury charges for the AD and the financial guy. There has not been a trial in front of Sandusky’s peers (ick, just ick) but there has been a pretty substantial investigation and presentation of evidence in a judicial setting.
I don’t feel like it is a knee-jerk reaction on my part to have the guy pretty much “guilty” in my mind.
Gee my bad. I was taught in civics claas (back in the 60s) That a Grand Jury was to see if there was enough evidence to bring charges. Now it seems that it’s to access guilt. I guess Ole’ Mr. Misue taught us all wrong.
