  • The Betrayal of Joe Paterno: How It All Probably Happened
    The Betrayal of Joe Paterno: How It All Probably Happened Submitted by jzadmin on Wed, 07/10/2013 - 10:54 “A lie gets half way around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” Winston Churchill "In the aftermath of the Freeh Report, the powers that be at present at Penn State should have the good graces to suspend the football program for at least a year, perhaps more.” Bob Costas, July 17th, 2012 “That doesn’t necessarily make sense.” Bob Costas, May 29th, 2013, on the underlying theory of the same Freeh Report A year ago this week the Freeh Report investigation of Penn State and Joe Paterno was released to great fanfare. Largely because of that report, most people seem to think they know the story of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Almost all of them are at least somewhat mistaken, and most are very wrong about what actually happened. Amazingly, the average media person, because they have a stronger incentive to believe they didn’t blindly perpetrate a false narrative, appears to be even more in the dark than the typical American is about the real truth of this tragedy. After spending most of the past year and a half researching, pondering, and speaking to more people closer to the Jerry Sandusky case than likely anyone else in the world, even I am still not positive that I know exactly what really transpired in the so called “Penn State Scandal.” While I am quite certain that the largely accepted media storyline of some concerted “cover up” by Penn State of Sandusky’s crimes is false, I am somewhat convinced that we may never know for sure precisely what actually did occur.

  • THE INVESTIGATION Why Did It Take 3 Years for Charges?
    5 NOVEMBER 14, 2011 THE INVESTIGATION Why did it take 3 years for charges? BY SARA GANIM l The Patriot-News STATE COLLEGE l nvestigations are not perfect. They are fluid beings that change and evolve. And a com- plex probe involving multiple victims, dozens of witnesses and Ithousands of pages of documents can sometimes take three years. Former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky was indicted on 40 counts related to child sex abuse in an investigation launched in late 2008. One of the most frequent questions has been: Did the investigation need to take that long? The grand-jury presentment alleges that Sandusky victimized eight boys as young as 7 years old, from as far back as 1994. But 15 months had gone by before officials added enough manpower to find that out. There were earlier chances to bring him to the attention of law enforce- ment. Clues seem to have been ig- nored in 1995 and 1999, an alleged vic- tim came forward in 1998, and adults allegedly witnessed sexual assaults by Sandusky in 2000 and 2002. Then in 2008, Victim One came forward and was believed. Sandusky forcibly performed oral sex on him met the Clinton County boy through more than 20 times, and forced him to The Second Mile, the charity for kids perform oral sex on Sandusky. he had founded in 1977. The grand-jury account is a chilling At the time, Sandusky was a volun- tale. teer football coach at Central Moun- At first, the case shuffled through tain High School and had frequent the legal system.

  • Critique of the Freeh Report: the Rush to Injustice Regarding Joe Paterno
    1700 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, NW WASHINGTON, DC 20006-4707 202.737.0500 CRITIQUE OF THE FREEH REPORT: THE RUSH TO INJUSTICE REGARDING JOE PATERNO KING & SPALDING: FEBRUARY 2013 WICK SOLLERS MARK JENSEN ALAN DIAL DREW CRAWFORD CONTAINING INDEPENDENT EXPERT REPORTS BY: DICK THORNBURGH, LL.B. FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES JIM CLEMENTE, J.D. FORMER FBI PROFILER, PROSECUTOR, AND CHILD SEX CRIMES EXPERT FRED BERLIN, M.D., PH.D. PHYSICIAN, PSYCHIATRIST, AND PSYCHOLOGIST AT THE JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL AND SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AND EXPERT IN PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACHES TO CHILD SEX ABUSE CRITIQUE OF THE FREEH REPORT: THE RUSH TO INJUSTICE REGARDING JOE PATERNO After the Freeh Group, which had been retained as Special Investigative Counsel (“SIC”) by the Penn State Board of Trustees to investigate the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, released its report in July 2012, the Paterno family asked King & Spalding to conduct a comprehensive review of both the report and Joe Paterno’s conduct.1 They authorized us to engage preeminent experts and to obtain their independent analyses as an essential part of that review. This Critique of the Freeh report, which incorporates and attaches those independent analyses in full, sets the record straight. We conclude that the observations as to Joe Paterno in the Freeh report are unfounded, and have done a disservice not only to Joe Paterno and to the Penn State University community, but also to the victims of Jerry Sandusky and the critical mission of educating the public on the dangers of child sexual victimization. Dick Thornburgh, former Attorney General of the United States, and experts Jim Clemente and Fred Berlin, have each carefully examined the July 12, 2012 report prepared by Louis Freeh, and have each determined that the report is deeply flawed and that key conclusions regarding Joe Paterno are unsubstantiated and unfair.

  • Algebra 2 Chapter 7 Study Guide Answers
    Algebra 2 chapter 7 study guide answers Continue As the name suggests, a quasi-judicial decision is like a court decision in several important ways. It requires the decision-making board to pass judgment on the application of the general law to the particular situation in the use of land leases, while ensuring the constitutional rights of the parties to due process. This guide is designed as a guide for councils that take decisions on regulating development through a quasi-judicial process. The discussion concerns the process before, during and after the testimony, as well as the decision itself. Other topics include the Regulation Board, derogations, special use permits, certificates of suitability, appeals of territorial decisions and judicial review. We serve the public, victims, prisoners, parole and petitioners across the Community by conducting face-to-face release hearings, overseeing parole in the community, providing notices and assistance to victims and providing re-boarding services to offenders who leave detention without ordered post-release supervision.

  • May 9, 2016 Tom Sullivan Is Fired Marrianne Mcmullen, Unable To
    May 9, 2016 Tom Sullivan Is Fired Marrianne McMullen, unable to force Tom Sullivan to resign despite the past few years of non-stop harassment and retaliation, has taken the final step in terminating his employment. I have attached the letter she sent to him and will also link it on his page. What this means is that they have slandered him, libeled him and smeared him and now he has no choice except to clear his name and his reputation in the field. Marrianne McMullen, I remind you, has absolutely no credentials in the field except that she was once Foster Mother. No education, no certifications, and she is the judge and jury that directed the harassment and retaliation against Sullivan and now, with no proof that he has done anything wrong, literally no proof except that which she herself has contrived, she has terminated him. Echoes Just like the escalating scandal in Great Britain that is widening in scope, depth and breadth every month as new revelations regarding who in government and law enforcement were aware of the rampant child abuse and not only did nothing to stop it, but harassed, intimidated and retaliated against victims and those who reported the abuse; and just as in Great Britain there were so called charities and religious organizations involved in the abuse, rape, murder and trafficking of children, people who stood up were fired in similar fashion by their administrators just as Tom Sullivan is now terminated by McMullen. Just like those scandals, most of which did not break until the key lynchpin, Jimmy Savile, a
