That is what we know to be true. Paterno was not a witness and was never accused of being a witness. He has never been accused of knowing anything prior to the 2002 incident, when he was notified by a graduate assistant. Paterno took this hearsay to his boss and the University police commissioner. Note that the accused was not an employee at that time and had not been for several years, so Paterno had no authority over him.
I personally have yet to figure out why he has been so demonized. The only explanation I have is that the media simply likes to take people down.
That is so terribly sad. All he did was report something that someone else said that he had no firsthand knowledge of.
What else was he supposed to do?
actually, he’s always been a staunch conservative ... that’s all you need to know. after that, 94% of the media (vote democrat) will vilify him whenever they can.
i’m going out to have a drink to JoePa and remember PSU.
i despise/detest the country that has evolved since then (the 80s)
