Maybe this is just stating the obvious but I think PSU is guilty as hell and from top to bottom. The reason why I think that is McQueary. He testified under oath to the GJ what he saw and then told Paterno about it. If McQueary made the whole thing up he’s
- Liable for perjury.
- Has screwed his chance of ever working anywhere ever again.
- Betrayed a close friend of his father’s as well as all his superiors at PSU.
And why would he do all that? As far as we know he’s standing by his testimony.
In the Duke Lacrosse case it was the victim herself, who was mentally unbalanced and had a criminal record as long as your arm (and is currently in the pokey for murder) that was the only one saying something happened. She had means, motive and opportunity to make something up.
McQueary on the other hand had every motive to keep his yap shut but he didn’t. Say what you want about him not having the testicular fortitude to stop the rape - that’s fine. But to believe that he made everything up - that’s asking a lot.
In the Duke Lacrosse Frame, not only did you have a lying accuser, but you also had a District Attorney, University Administration, and the Durham Police Department that conspired in an attempted lynching.
