Of course they want to manage it, it’s a civil liability. Criminal law wasn’t broken by the guy falling.
Corporations always want to minimize their civil liabilities. It is much easier to do so in a civil cases involving accidents, such as a falling injury, versus a civil case involving a criminal act. Criminal acts are the purview of law enforcement first and foremost. Once that is satisfied civil liabilities follow.
With this Penn state thing all sorts of officials (state employees) engaged in obsfucating or covering up the criminal acts to (obviously) avoid onerous civil liabilities which would follow criminal conviction(s). The covering up is then again another criminal act.
They all colluded to protect the football program, the university, their jobs and ultimately ...the perp.
This is why I’m saying the FBI needs to be brought in.
