The best movie scene about this type thing is Paul Newman’s “The Verdict” where the nurse kept a copy of the admitting form.
Any time you’re dealing with officials, archives and copies are your friend. That’s how I do it with my newsblog.
Yes indeed.
I don’t understand why so many are immediately blaming the assistant coach/graduate student.
First of all, he most probably went to the police. Of course they don’t have a record - and nobody told them in writing, emails or in words to destroy it. That is not how it works. They were very aware that no permanent record was to be kept.
Second - I’m surprised they didn’t get rid of the witness either by firing him or by arranging a job for him at the University of Venezuela or some distant school. Actually I’m surprised he didn’t look for a job elsewhere.
Re stopping the incident, he said he stopped it. Maybe he hit the fire alarm, maybe he turned the water/lights out. I’m sure his goal was to stop the incident right when it happened. By reporting it to the police he figured he had stopped it permanently.
At 22 years old did you know that police don’t always follow-up on complaints when a high profile or valuable asset individual is involved? It sounds like his father didn’t either.
Correction,
He was 28 at the time. His father is (was) a friend of Sandusky.
PS knows they got dirt up the kazoo----and are trying to use any means possible to cover it up. This cocamamie move is proof-positive PS is wallowing in pedophilia and other asst crimes.
PS sees the handwriting on the wall---they know they have dug themselves into a huge hole---and that they can only recover by paying a horrendous cost----to their finances and to their football program.
Law suits will commece on several levels----each victim has many options:
personal injury;
psychological injury;
failure to report crimes against children;
failure to protect children;
using PS facilities to commit crimes;
using non-profit funds to commit crimes against children.
etc, etc, etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

Is McQueary intentionally trying to discredit himself as a witness?
oops, I should know better than to post about a story I haven’t been following closely and know very little about.
I don’t know a lot about Penn State but I do know a lot about how institutions handle bad behavior on the part of a ‘high value’ individual. Usually the messenger gets removed in some way, e.g., fired, bypassed, transferred. Then the institution finds a low value individual behaving in a similarly bad way and makes sure it documents that they have zero tolerance for that kind of behavior. All the while the record for the high value individual is very carefully orchestrated to be clean.
there had to have some “conversation” at that moment.
These two knew each other even when Mike was a childhood classmate and friend of Sandusky’s sons.
Mike was a teammate of Sandusky’s son.
How could there not have been a very dramatic confrontation of some sort?

In this case the GA was promoted to receivers coach and became the head of recuiting after the incident.
This is another way to gain silence.
Being a Man carries responsibilities that define that state of being. There is no leeway in these fundamental definitions. Human Society over the millenia has defended itself with these definitions, and to release males from them is to commit suicide as a society. One of these responsabilities is to protect the young. McQueary ran. He abandoned a kid in the clutches of a destroyer. It's that simple. He is a male, he no longer has a claim to Manhood. I understand perfectly what he felt when his life was blasted by the vision he happened upon in that locker room, but he was a coward for letting it master him. Men don't run. The responsibilities inherent in Manhood are why the left has always hated the idea of the American Man; a “man's gotta’ do what a man’s gotta’ do” is an immutable force that can't be controlled from a central position.
Pedo ring murdered the DA? Scary possibility.
Sandusky should be waterboarded for the names of his friends.
From SI.com:
“In April 2005, Centre County (Pa.) district attorney Ray Gricar, who decided not to bring child-assault charges against Jerry Sandusky after an incident with a young boy in 1998, disappeared without a trace in Pennsylvania and has never been heard from since. His car was found in Lewisburg, Pa., near the Susquehanna River, and his laptop computer was found in the river.
In May 1996, Gricar’s brother Roy, who lived in southwest Ohio, disappeared not long after being fired from his job in Dayton. His body was found days later in the Great Miami River. His car was found parked near the Great Miami River, and authorities ruled his death a suicide.
I don’t know what that means. I just find it a horribly bizarre coincidence — I think.”
