CitadelGrad's PSU Bitch thread

Post by CitadelGrad »

This column does a good job of explaining why.

http://www.johnziegler.com/editorials_d ... torial=219

However, despite what you have heard in the news media, there are also some very significant problems with the report itself and, at least at this point, there is still a whole lot more speculative smoke than actual evidentiary fire in its findings.

The most glaring omission in the report is that Freeh did speak to any of the primary witnesses in the case. Not Paterno. Not Tim Curley. Not Mike McQueary (whom he referred to as “McQuade” in the press conference). Not Jerry Sandusky.

Secondly, Freeh seems to promise far more in his press release/conclusions than he actually delivers in real evidence. Most of the media of course, at best, only read the summary and not the actual report. Thanks to that, it appears that most people have no idea that the real evidence backing up Freeh’s conclusions is, given the strong language he uses, remarkably thin.

So how soon until they tear down the statue of the old creep? Nike already took his name off the Childrens Center at their HQ.

The appropriate thing to do is leave the statue up, and simply turn it around a bit so that it's looking the other way.

Really? Is that the best this tool came up with? You don't even have to goto Day 1 of Law School to understand why people currently charged with crimes aren't going to talk to investigators without their attorneys advising them so....

I don't believe the report was a complete hatchet job, but I feel some of Freeh's conclusions were not backed up by hard facts. Nobody disputes the information he uncovered, but mant reasonable folks do question the hard conclusions he came to from the facts at hand.

I found the below article to be quite good.
