A Grand Jury is an investigative body, not a trier of fact. It isn't compelled to obey the rules of evidence or many Constitutional protections.
We already know that several counts in the indictment will never make it past the preliminary hearing because they aren't admissible in an actual evidentiary proceeding. For example, the 2000 "Janitor Incident" is nothing more than hearsay. Unless the victim comes forward, there is now no competent witness to the crime.
It is highly unlikely that the perjury charges against Schultz and Curley will hold up unless their own testimony is conflicting. Otherwise it's simply McQueary's word against theirs, and all three men have reasons to lie.
We really know nothing more at this point than we knew ten days ago, and that means we know nothing but accusations.
Never mind. This is a necktie party. Don't try to get in their way with any facts; there are plenty of trees and no shortage of rope.
His 1998 “I wish I was dead” confession to a victim’s mother and overheard by detectives obviously falls on your deaf ears.
Exactly and as I said, that sheep can be stampeded like this is why we end up with more and more and more and more government. We will likely end up with a new federal law because something must be done. Rather than just try the guy if their is evidence and let a jury decided if there is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, ie enough for us to take away his liberty.
In North Carolina grand jury system bears little resemblance to the system in PA; it’s nothing more than a revolving door with few if any witnesses. There are no records of the proceedings.
The Sandusky grand jury spent time to call witnesses, record and review their testimony, and report findings. That didn’t happen in the Duke case.
Petrano should have gone to the police with this information.
A crime was witnessed by McQurey and reported as such.
Now, with Sandusky's own admission of showering with young boys and touching their legs (but,in a non-sexual way), we have individuals such as yourself trying to hide the truth with empty rhetoric, just like any lawyer would do who knows his client is guily.
