He should have had a lawyer a long time ago. He wants to talk and somebody finally convinced him that no matter what the story was he should shut the hell up.

Every time I try to even remotely sympathize with Joe Paterno, after saying something minutely sincere like I wish I had done more, or keep the victims in your prayers, he ends his statement with, Beat Nebraska! or We Are Penn State! Have you lost you fugging mind Joe?

And I know they aren't here reading this, but to the 3 students out of thousands who were at the riots last night and spoke to reporters and said you agreed with the firing, even while your peers were giving you poo for it, god bless you. Your parents raised you right and I pray that the other Penn State drones that were tipping over news trucks realize when they are a little older how horribly, horribly wrong they really are.

The biggest problem I had with that case was, if you thought the man was a child molester (as a parent), why would you let your son sleep at his home?

Yeah, see this is the second child molestation case against Jackson. The first one he payed some kid 15 million dollars to settle before it went to court in 1993. The 2004 case was botched by the prosecutors in Santa Barbara. Jackson is (was) a child molester.

You don't pay someone 15 million to hush when you're innocent. True, the second go around the parents were idiots to put their child in harms way.

This is the second child-molestation accusation brought against Jackson in the past 10 years. The previous criminal investigation in 1993, which was to be prosecuted by the same district attorney as this case, was stalled once the alleged victim settled an additional civil suit in 1994, affecting his willingness to cooperate with authorities. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed but were reported to be in the tens of millions.

I just really feel like we're going to find out that a lot of money and power was controlling this and it's going to get more disgusting and unbelievable as far as how wide-spread and accepted it was.

I doubt the murdered DA case will ever be solved, but the conspiracy theorist in me thinks his murder was a result of looking where he shouldn't have (too high up and at who knew and was involved). Explain to me how or why he didn't bring charges against Sandusky subsequently after the original investigation when Sandusky admitted to showering with boys to their mothers and apologized for it saying he wish he were dead and he knew he was wrong?

Why else would Sandusky not be charged and put away for that? Unless there was a culture that allowed for and accepted it. If the DA was intimidated into not pressing charges but big wigs felt he was a threat to the program and exposing them, bam, there you go.

This is the only way I could see how and why guys like Joe Paterno and McQueary would avoid trying to stop the guy - if they were outnumbered and severely outpowered.

And again, if you're innocent and knew nothing, as sad as this realization is to make, why is Joe Pa hiring a defense attorney?
