Yep, I am a Grampa and I am sure the grand jury report is damning. I still prefer a trial by jury. But if a grand jury incitement is good enough for you, good luck to you. That style of justice has worked very well in dictatorships for thousands of years. Me, I'll stick with the Constitution of the United States. But, I am just an old man, so cleverly derided by folks like you as “Gramps”.

And Sandusky will get his trial by jury. I seriously doubt that any of us will be on that jury. That being the case, we can make informed judgements about this based on the facts presented. Just like we do in countless everyday situations in the rest of our lives. If you read the testimony given under oath it is pretty clear that Sandusky is a serial pedophile. If we just went by the jury trial, I guess we would all still believe that O.J. was innocent of brutally murdering his ex-wife.

I’m no spring chicken myself, but I have lived long enough to know the difference between guilt in fact and guilt in a court of law. Citizens have both a right and a duty to assess other people on the basis of current knowledge. If you’re the parent of a child, it’s indispensible. Jerry Sandusky down the road may not have been proven a child molester in a court of law, but are you going to let your pre-adolescent boys go camping with him? Are you going to leave them alone in the company of a little league coach or a Scoutmaster whom you’ve noticed has a tendency to put his hands all over the children in his charge?

So guess you couldn’t handle reading that grand jury report, eh Pops?

That’s too bad.
