No, you said he should be indicted. It is not spin, you said it. What should he be charged with?

The Grand Jury report addressed this. According to Pennsylvania State Law, “the person in charge of the school or institution,” upon being informed of suspected child abuse, “has the responsibility and legal obligation to report the abuse or cause such a report of the abuse to be made by telephone and in writing within 48 hours to the Department of Public Welfare of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.”

However, Paterno is not “the person in charge of the school or institution” and hence is not legally responsible for reporting the incident to the police. Otherwise, it would have been considered hersay, which is not admissible in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
