Oh, Suzi, I am so sorry.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

At the very least, couldn't this have been reported to campus police for full investigation? They certainly do have the duty to bring in additional law enforcement.

Thrive to spite them
I checked Facebook and it had the Yahoo news.
Someone on there said that Joe Paterno had "no direct connection" with the case and should get a "sanding O". I pointed out that an eye witness told him about Sandusky raping a child. It's not like this went around him or everyone side stepped him. He knew, he told someone and then, I guess, let it drop.

Trust my rage
I"m sort of shocked that so many people thought the right thing to do was to tell their boss. You call the cops when you see a crime, regardless of where it happened.
eta: and Suzi, I meant to say before, I'm sorry you are dealing with KCD BS.

One of the administrators currently charged with failure to report and perjury was in charge of campus police at the time.

Hil,
WTF?
Well fuck them all then.
BTW, I am reading the student newspaper at PSU and apparently the Department of Education may get involved. I'm so sorry for the students, faculty, and staff at PSU who have nothing to do with this shit. These investigations will last until the end of next calendar year, I'm sure.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I wonder, has the GA who actually did the witnessing been brought or will be brought up on any charges?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Aims,
I think so. He is already testified to the grand jury and is an assistant coach now. I don't think he is spared, though one blog I read seems to insinuate the GA may have been molested by Sandusky years ago since he lived in the area and was in youth football himself.
I don't know how much of that to believe at this juncture.

He hasn't been. So far, the only charges besides Sandusky are against the two administrators, both charged with perjury and failure to report. The graduate assistant, Mike McQueary, was truthful in his testimony (as far as anybody knows), and didn't have a legal duty to report. He might be charged with something later, but I'm not sure what.

In odder news, locally we have a sports reporter named Gerry Sandusky, no relation. He's having a bit of a hard time...
