Jerry Sandusky and Related Trials

[Staggy]

Haven't seen this reported anywhere but man, that does not sound good.

This seems so odd to me. This is 2012 where everything is instantly available. Why can't I find this anywhere?

[Staggy]

Yeah exactly, that's why I'm not reading too much further into it just yet.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

That email looks fake to me.

That email looks fake to me.

I don't think it's an actual screen shot of the e-mail. I think they recreated it for the segment.

Can you tell by the pixels?

Maybe JoPa is covering up the news from breaking anywhere else?

But seriously... I'm not a Penn Stater but until it's more widely confirmed as being true, I won't jump on the "dig up Joe Pa so we can kill him again!" bandwagon.

The segment is repeating on CNN at ten. Yes, that is the actual email. They recreated it for tv and put that snippet in. There were three other emails that are equally as damning.

I hate the ... stuff. let us see the full e-mails.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Watching now it appears this information was obtained by CNN secondhand and they don't have the actual emails.

[count2infinity]

Well, that's evidence enough for me! Tear down Paterno's statue and his library!

I think the smartest decision would be to nuke State College rendering it unlivable for all of eternity.

can I leave first?

Allegheny County should be next since that is where the most PSU alumni live.

This will never end

As a PSU alum, I want every rock turned over...no matter how 'painful'. If there were people in the know, no matter how popular or powerful, those people need exposed.

However...and I type this with some hesitation given the horrific nature of the events that took place...the benefit of 20-20 hindsight cannot be discarded. We all know now what a monster JS is (and was), but not one of those 4 people included on those emails could've imagined the depravity that existed in their presence. Everyone wanted to believe that it was a misunderstanding, an exaggeration, a misinterpretation, etc. No one wanted to believe that it was as bad as it could've been.

This fact, given what each individual knew at the time of these events, is why I will always hold Mike McQueary 'more responsible' for not stopping this than anyone. He was the only non-victim to personally witness a 'transgression'. He had first-hand knowledge, and did not do enough to stop it.

It will certainly not end well, especially if these emails are true.

Kraftster would be able to explain this better, but your able to retrieve stuff on computers....you need to be a real tech savvy person to know how to delete the complete file, yet alone be aware of their existence after you delete them. So if your covering something up, talking about it in an email is not the way to go.

[count2infinity]

I was meaning the story itself, not the e-mails. lol, I know I can't just go find the e-mails unless i have mad haxor skillz.

[Factorial]

Didn't see this posted:

In an exchange of messages from February 26-28, 2001, Spanier allegedly acknowledges Penn State could be "vulnerable" for not reporting the incident, according to two sources with knowledge of the case.

"The only downside for us is if the message (to Sandusky) isn't 'heard' and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it," Spanier purportedly writes.

I agree it's not quite enough, but you've got to admit, this looks really bad. CNN jumps the shark sometimes but Anderson Cooper I think is the premier journalist in the country today; I doubt he'd report without solid authority. At the very least it's enough that those hapless PSU alums that insist that there was no cover-up might want to begin to consider that they may be wrong, and that either journalists or the state will investigate further to bring something more concrete to light.

[count2infinity]

i don't think that there's any PSU alum that will say there was no cover-up. I think it's quite obvious there was.

I wish that were true, but Twitter is a minefield of stupid...
