The Blue Board

I just can't believe how everything that went down that they would be witnesses in his DEFENSE. I saw it and couldn't think of anything but WTF. What are they defending? Paterno didn't do himself any favors but his demise at Penn State is a direct result of this fvcker.

Blago listed President Barack Obama as a defense witness...you could list anyone you want.

I'm a liar for stating what has been said all over the national news? K.

Yes, because your statement is 100% lie.

That is exactly what I stated in my OP.

And to be perfectly honest, I don't think prosection will even bring this particular allegation up. They never found a victim.

Yep. The defense would call them as character witnesses only and ask them the questions like: "How long did you know him?" "how did you know him?" "In that time, did he have a reputation for honesty?"

That's about it. If they call them, he won't ask them anything more than those simple questions because he doesn't want them saying anything more. But I doubt he wants them on the stand at all. I would never call a witness for my side if I thought the witness could end up crying on the stand against my client. Especially an elderly woman.

Defend the guy all you want. Did Joe Pa report it directly to his boss? You bet he did. That one instance, he is in the legal clear in my book. He did what he legally should have

Here in lies the issue. These allegations were around for at least what 10 years about Sandusky? And guess who stayed around campus? Guess who was given access to the FOOTBALL facilities? Sandusky.

Don't give me the bs about being emetrius status at penn state. Go use the the Rec center showers for your little fun. Because Joe Paterno had the absolute power to quietly tell Jerry Sandusky don't you f'in step a foot near my football program and guess what there is no way Sandysky would have been anywhere near that program

In my opinion Joe knew something. He knew Sandusky allegedly molested little boys. And if you aren't 100% certain these accusations are false and you have no legal obligations to Sandusky, then cut him loose

Joe Pa may have done the 'right' thing legally but unless someone shows evidence otherwise that Sandusky may have been falsely accused, Joe Pa was absolutely wrong morally 100 out of 100 times. He could have done way more and therefore IMO he deserved his firing

alot of ppl need to see this

One thing about Joe - Judges and cops have been interviewed over the last few months, and to a man they say that joe NEVER approached them about influencing a decision when it came to one of his players in a legal situation. Not even once. Joe was someone who's track record shows that he always lets a situation play out, and he always removes himself from that situation in terms of influence. He told the Washington Post that he didn't follow up because he did not want to influence the investigation, either for or against Sandusky. This is someone who truly believed in allowing the system work situations out. He told them he was there for anything they needed, and then let them do their jobs. It's what he's always done with his players when it came to legal stuff. In this case, it probably meant Sandusky walked at the time, but this is something the man has done over his entire career - it just shows you how twisted life can be.

Joe knew nothing. He testified, under oath to God, that he knew nothing about any kind of allegations regarding Sandusky before this incicdent, and McQuery in no way told him any thing specfic, he told him that Sandusky might have been doing something wrong.

The man has a FIFTY YEAR career of being a moral compass. If you truly think he did this with bad intentions, it's because you WANT to believe that, because there is absolutely NO evidence that he would do something morally suspect to protect Sandusky.

And you know this....
