Famous football coach gets preferential treatment. No surprises here. He gets cut a break because Penn State made points under his watch and a few touchdowns are obviously far more important than some unimportant boys getting messed up for life by a rapist.
And unless you want to live in more of a police state it had better be that way. He hasn't been convicted of anything ... yet.
The prosecutor overreached with this “keep him inside the house because he can see a schoolyard three football fields away from the back porch” business. Presumption of innocence says you can’t just slap on layer after layer after layer of restrictions if you haven’t been convicted.
The judge may have done us all a favor. By warning the prosecutor not to get too cute he may help ensure this guy gets a solid conviction.
I would hardly call these restrictions, “being able to do whatever one wants.” I wouldn’t want to live under those restrictions. He’ll be spending most his time in a small cell soon enough. Sure, it’s better than he deserves, but that’s our system. If everyone is doing there job, it should be impossible for him to do anything.
Hopefully any computers he had at the time of his first arrest were impounded under a search warrant.
That fool should never have posted bail. I wouldn’t care if they shut the whole school. For as much as the govt. wants to make everything about the children, they certainly do not care about past or potential victims of that evil freak.
If you want to waive his presumption-of-innocence, then I take it you wish to waive your own if you are ever ACCUSED of something?
