Back then, showering after workouts was not uncommon, especially in open showers with foot traffic on the outside. Anyone could walk by who was in the building. I believe Jerry was too naive to think that having an adolescent in there was a red flag. I certainly don’t think he had sexual intent in either of those scenarios, especially with the openness of the Just my opinion. I also think he denies saying “I wish I were dead”.The kid that he showered with that came home with his hair wet was reported immediately, was it not? That's certainly more than zero. Unless you think there are no red flags from putting his hand on the kid's thigh while in the car, working out with a kid for 15 minutes then telling him he needed to shower and getting him naked. Do you really see no concerns whatsoever with that behavior towards kid that you recently met?
And then, after being so shook up by it that he said "I understand. I was wrong. I wish I could get forgiveness. I know I won't get it from you. I wish I were dead.", he was back to showering with young naked boys again when Mike caught him...no concerns again?
I find it quite ironic that the posters who hate the thread and new article the most feel the need to comment as much as they do. If you don’t like it, go to another thread. Novel concept. Just because someone has a different opinion and perspective doesn’t mean it should be abolished. It’s a big part of message boards at large. There are tons of questions still remaining in this case. It’s not going away, even if some want or need it to. The screaming and name calling by some on this thread only emphasize that point more. But hey, I’m new here. LolBecause it belongs on a test board somewhere.
Except that the incident that McQueary witnessed took place in the evening or at night when there was no one else around, something I'm sure the Grinning Baboon was counting on.Back then, showering after workouts was not uncommon, especially in open showers with foot traffic on the outside.

Sorry, but showering with a 10-14 year old alone is weird no matter what generation you are from.Back then, showering after workouts was not uncommon, especially in open showers with foot traffic on the outside.

Except the teenage kid in the MM incident said he was never abused by Jerry, that night or any other. Looked at Jerry like a father. Drove 8 hours to his mothers funeral years later while enlisted in the Marines….. then invited him to his wedding years after that. It just doesn’t add up.Except that the incident that McQueary witnessed took place in the evening or at night when there was no one else around, something I'm sure the Grinning Baboon was counting on.
So the kid with Jerry in the shower that night never appeared before the authorities or courts to say that nothing happened and just allowed Jerry to be convicted? Of the character witnesses called on behalf of Sandusky, there was one, a whopping one, who knew Sandusky from the Second Mile and vouched for him.Except the teenage kid in the MM incident said he was never abused by Jerry, that night or any other.

Never truer words spoken avoiding the legal system. Just coming off jury duty it scared the hell out of me what I saw in deliberations. 1 juror saying I have kids to get home to you all just pick guilty or non guilty and I will go along with it. Another juror saying I think he is guilty but he has suffered enough so let's let him walk. And yet another juror who literally only spoke Spanish. She would speak in Spanish yet anything in English she just shrugged her shoulders ... These are people deciding someone's fate.... Stunning gave me pause to think of full time jurors but that has its own issues ...I believe that most of our views on what constitutes a "fair trial" are shaped by what we see on TV crime dramas, where courtroom proceedings are nicely choreographed. My observation of the "real world" is that it's not so neat and tidy. Does that mean that real world trials are unfair? I don't know. What I can tell you is to avoid the legal system, criminal and civil, with every effort.
My friend, I do not know whether he is guilty or innocent. What I do know is that he was not given a fair trial. I also think there is doubt in many of the claimants stories that has come out over the years.If you choose to defend Jerry Sandusky you are an imbecile. It's really that simple. If you share your views, even vaguely, to friends and family, they will also realize you are an imbecile. No need for me to discuss why the earth revolves around the sun, or that gravity exists. To defend a child rapist is repulsive. Please just stop, and move on.
I am not defending a child rapist. I am asking you for your opinion on Matt Sandusky. Is he a truth-telling abuse victim or a lying opportunist?

And the experts who had their chance at looking into it deeper did not believe it either.JS was certainly his own worst enemy. His actions after the 1998 incident defied common sense, even if he was truly innocent of any wrongdoing.
Had Raykovitz - a mandated reporter - done the right thing when Curley went to him after the McQ report in 2001, and initiated a formal investigation, we may have had some concrete answers that are more widely understood and accepted.
People who knew him just did not believe he was capable of anything beyond boundary issues. And the experts who had their chance at looking into it deeper did not believe it either. That's why I say at the time, the red flags were too easily misunderstood by the non-professionals. They really did not know what they were dealing with.
Weird, yes. Not a crime. That was from the mouth of the judge who presided over the JS trial.Sorry, but showering with a 10-14 year old alone is weird no matter what generation you are from.
The same judge that sentenced him to 30-60 yrs in prison? If you want to die on that hill, go for it. It’s a bad look. I’m not getting into it with you. This whole conversation has no upside.Weird, yes. Not a crime. That was from the mouth of the judge who presided over the JS trial.
well, I hope you can get him out. Then you should hire him to watch your kids or grandkids or nieces or nephews. That should prove how innocent you think he is.There are a lot of people who think he is innocent, including some very well known people. They came to this conclusion after doing some very basic research on the sham trial.
The idea he didn't get a HC position is quite a leap. It could be true. However, the contrary opinion is that JS didn't want to move away from The Second Mile. This is one of the things that made him famous. SI did a cover and a feature story on him and his affiliation with The Second Mile. He was waiting for Joe to retire but who knew Joe would coach into his 80s? In addition, Joe told him that he would not recommend JS for the HC position when it opened because Jerry needed to spend too much time with TSM. JS had opportunities but didn't pursue them as it would cause him to have to move out of state.Yeah here is the deal on this Sandusky scandal, and btw he was my position coach during PSU football camps, a situation that had monstrous red flags. First, the fact that in 1998 he was among the most coveted defensive coordinators in the NCAA and he couldn't get a job as a head coach, suggested to me that his own industry had heard whispers is one. Second, the fact that people of power in the state govt and legal profession intervened or simply vanished is another monstrous red flag. Third, the impulsive reaction of the University to ruin the greatest coach this side of Bear Bryant as a scapegoat speaks to a darker involvement. You can argue that Sa ndusky was a patsy much like Oswald but it still speaks to unspeakable acts deserved of incarceration, even if justice is imperfectly applied.
To me the crime in this saga, was the institutional persecution of Paterno. If you are a bleeding heart you can always insist that he could have done more, practiced less nepotism and lectured us all less but hundreds of guys who couldn't carry Joe's jock destroyed a man who enriched them.
I have moved myself to such a state that I am going to listen to the trumpet solo at his viewing, the best farewell in human history.
Didn't Matt go to court so he could take his kids to see Jerry and Dottie? Before he $$$$$well, I hope you can get him out. Then you should hire him to watch your kids or grandkids or nieces or nephews. That should prove how innocent you think he is.

It really has zero upside, but flat earthers need to be heard too apparently. We just ignore them too.The same judge that sentenced him to 30-60 yrs in prison? If you want to die on that hill, go for it. It’s a bad look. I’m not getting into it with you. This whole conversation has no upside.

Yes he did. Quite odd don’t you think? You literally can’t make this stuff up. But be careful, you may get called a flat earther for pointing out real evidence. LolDidn't Matt go to court so he could take his kids to see Jerry and Dottie? Before he $$$$$

I might be an imbecile. On the other hand, an ignorant person is one with a closed mind and does not and can not consider new information as potentially nullifying their steadfast opinion.
Doesn’t sound like you chose to move on as you’re still hereI choose to move on. Not arguing with someone on if water is wet.
I don't want to argue. I am simply asking you to classify and explain Matt Sandusky. He is the epitome of the alleged victims in this case. Your reluctance to chime in is very telling.I choose to move on. Not arguing with someone on if water is wet.

The answer to your question is in this follow up article………. Tons of interesting points the media never covered because they made the mistake of painting themselves into a corner after immediately buying/or promoting the phony Grand Jury Presentment (which is also talked about in this article).So the kid with Jerry in the shower that night never appeared before the authorities or courts to say that nothing happened and just allowed Jerry to be convicted?

Questioning Millionaire Victims: Doubts Arise in Sandusky Trial

Would he have been allowed to enter that statement? Remember, this is the same judge that would not allow the sworn testimony of John McQueary from his courtroom appearance/preliminary hearing in Hburg three months earlier to be entered as evidence. That John McQueary testified under oath to Karl Romonger that he could not remeber testifying at the prelim.So they couldn't find Allan Meyers to testify.

Regardless, there was so much malpractice, lying, deceit and dishonor with the whole trial would it even have mattered? At this point in time, we know Allen Myers wrote the letter wholeheartedly defending JS. Alemdola had/has a written statement from him as well. Myers changed his tune when Mr Shubin showed up at the door.
The PA court system has a vested interested in seeing his appeals fail. If you can’t see that, I can’t help you.The statement can be entered if the witness can't be found.
Enough with how the Grinning Baboon's trial wasn't perfect. All of his appeals have failed. Let him rot.
He hasn't fared much better in the Federal courts either.The PA court system has a vested interested in seeing his appeals fail. If you can’t see that, I can’t help you.
Hasn’t filed there yet, but a competent and fair judge will laugh at how PA has handled it.?He hasn't fared much better in the Federal courts either.
Jerry’s lawyer tried to quit because he could not get through all of the discovery material in time for trial. Not only did the judge rush it to trial in 7 months (a case like this is typically 2 years out), he refused to let his lawyer quit. Another “you can’t make this s**t up” moment.Jerry's legal team was horrible. I can't remember the guys name but he was a terrible lawyer and he himself had done some unethical crap with a female client at one time. At a bare min Jer deserved a retrial in another state other than the corrupt court system of PA. You can bet that Joe thought he got a raw deal too
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\I understand the anger and emotion that people have over such horrendous crimes. We all do. To not get that is to define oneself as something rather disturbing.
But, there's something bigger here than just JS, imo. There are many horrendous crimes committed all over, and we owe it to victims and the sometimes wrongly convicted (not talking about JS here) to insist on fair trials, even for those we assume to be guilty before the trials start. The relative ease with which the first and loudest narrative can be permanently imprinted in the minds of the general public isn't unique to just this case. Sometimes it's the truth, sometimes it isn't. That's why I think we need truly fair trials regardless.
Along with that concern, I maintain that if the State can figure out a way to put Curley, Schultz, and Spanier in jail, for basically nothing more than the PR/political gains and to cover the missteps from years ago, then they can figure out a way to put (proverbially) you and me in jail for no real reason.
The whole of the issue goes more to judicial fairness and accountability than to only JS and that specific case. The OGBOT got away with something sinister, the local attorney got away with something unethical, the State of PA got away with a stunt that severely impacted the lives of very good people.
I quit. Enjoy your life in Oz/
Hmmmmm......maybe PennSt8 "IS" victim 8? He would know the whole truth.I quit. Enjoy your life in Oz/
