this hearsay argument has been discussed endlessly on these Penn State threads.
The rules of hearsay are rules of evidence for the courts - not for reporting child abuse in the first place.
The police, the lawyers, and the judges are the ones that make determinations about rules of evidence.

It isn’t that JoePa could possibly have felt powerless.
We’ve already learned what he can do when he doesn’t like an administrator...when he wanted that woman fired, he threatened Spanier he would stop fundraising if she wasn’t dismissed.

This is straight from the GJ Presentment that you claimed you friggin' read. What, did you skim it?
