Well, then you weren't looking, because in fact that is the position taken by the lawyers for the defendants. That's right: Freeh/NCAA/PSU BOT tried to keep the conclusions of Freeh's report out of this case on the basis that they were nothing but opinions.
So you'd better huddle with your legal team counselor. Because they've been arguing that this was nothing but a baseless diatribe all along.
Whatever the case, that's going to be determined by a trier-of-fact. Sue Paterno and the other plaintiffs have been arguing that Freeh's baseless diatribe was presented as if it were factual, and they have been fighting to force Freeh to back his dubious "conclusions" up.
Now, they are going to get the chance. And Freeh won't be able to claim that his baseless diatribe was just a baseless diatribe any longer.

...thanks for the valuable info, Fred...never knew that ‘opinions’ and ‘baseless diatribe’ were synonymous...
...but all levity aside, just curious, Fred...why the chip on your shoulder...? Why do you feel the need to refer to someone that might draw one or two different conclusions than you as a fool and a know-nothing...?
You wrote this upthread: ...ah yes, you don’t like what they said, so they’ve lied...just like the victims, right...nothing but a bunch of liars and cheats, according to some...
This is a despicable mischaracterization, and you were called out on it. NO ONE has said the victims lied. NO ONE. Freeh is a political fixer who was called in to protect the PSU Board of Trustees, not an innocent kid who was sexually assaulted by a depraved predator. His report was used to defame and destroy the reputation of a good man, against whom no evidence whatsoever has ever been presented. If you don't understand why that makes people angry, then don't post snarky, rude comments on the thread. And don't then try to back away from them after you've been pwned.
That’s right.Up to the point of the Sandusky allegations - about which a jury didn’t express any doubt - Joe Paterno’s reputation was an ornament of Penn State University. And I was impressed with the loyalty of Franco Harris et al. Including FlJoePa.So I am, quite literally, very interested in finding out if “Joe Pa” was railroaded while he was in his terminal illness. If not, “It is what it is.” But if so, a Philipians 4:8 story has been suppressed by “the media.” And it is my settled opinion that cynicism about Philipians 4:8 stories, rather than truth-telling, is actually what journalists do for a living.
