The Blue Board

The Attorney General had this info when JoePa was alive, but did not charge him. Are you saying you know Pennsylvania law better than the Attorney General?

Oh, really? Because I thought we were discussing the law (I mean, you were the one quoting it). The fact is he did report it and in doing so complied with the law. That is why the AG did not charge him.

Please cite the case law that supports your claim. And, if so, why did the AG charge Curley and Schultz but not Paterno? You are wrong and you know it. Just because you type untrue stuff on a message board does not make those things true.

He wasn't charged either. And based on that list, with good reason.

Oh and by the way, it appears that USC still has OJ's number retired. Just saying.

Good thing the OP of this post isn't an Ohio State fan. Otherwise he would be accused of fanning the flames because of recruiting interests. It can't just be that this is a major scandal that warrants a ton of discussion. SMH.

I know it's hard to believe, but everything's not about Ohio State.

Without reading past this post...what if they did both?

At this point, if they haven't changed their mind about their hero, they never will

I appreciate your attempt to bring facts to the table but all you have done is prove yourself wrong with those facts. You can make lots of arguments that hold water - "Paterno should have done more", "Paterno should have followed up", "Paterno should have demanded that GS, GS, TC alert further authorities" - but that fact is PA law as well as university policy does not require him to report. You mentioned a rather lengthy list of mandatory reporters earlier ITT yet you failed to realize that Paterno falls into none of those categories. He is not an administrator and, as part of his job, does not come into contact with minors. That is the law. His duty in the state of PA, as a NON-WITNESS to the crime was to alert his superiors that there was an eye-witness to a potential assault. He did that and the rest is history. Now we can argue until we are blue in the face what which person knew, we can play connect the dots with emails until the cows come home and we can scream at the top of our lungs that we absolutely no WHY these men made the decisions they did but the truth is we will likely never know.

As has been clearly stated in the multiple articles linked ITT it is clear that far too often when people of power are met with difficult and uncomfortable situations they make the wrong choices. In the most grave of those cases those choices result in ruined lives and even death. Instead of yelling at each other, flying planes with threats to tear down some stupid statue why don't we realize that there is an epidemic in this country to avoid and cover up rather than face the music. There is nothing more horrible than what these victims have gone through but this case will serve as a case study for many many years. We can all learn from this, we can all join the fight to help people affected by abuse and hopefully in the end countless children will be spared these scars in the future.

This coming from the Guy that responded to my post by saying OJ murdered 2 people, although he was acquitted in his criminal case. Later found responsible for wrongful death in a civil court. Yet you are throwing around that Joe was innocent and not even charged. I'm convinced that Joe would have been charged with something in regards to all of this eventually. If they would've ended up not having anything to charge him with, laws would've been changed accordingly.

Sidenote- I along with any other human being with at least 3 brain cells know he murdered those 2. I just find your statements hypocritical.
