“I’ve read JoePa’s version of the events.”
I’d like to see a link to those quotes. There is ONE quote from Joe out there - that “in hindsight, I wish I had done more” (in hindsight, we ALL wish we had done more).
Thats all - there are no quotes from Joe in the GJ Presentment. He has held no press conferences. He has conducted no interviews.
Where prey tell, have you read his version of the events? Or maybe, you just THOUGHT you read his version of the events. Or maybe...just maybe, your mind was made up before hearing Joe’s version of the events. Because he hasn’t GIVEN IT TO ANYONE YET. PERIOD.
BTW, here’s the AG’s office’s take on Joe’s firing:
“We have a cooperating witness [Paterno], an individual who testified, provided truthful testimony,” Hagen-Frederiksen told ABCNews.com, “but two others who were found by a grand jury to commit perjury whose legal expenses are being paid for university. One is on administrative leave. Very interesting development.”
“It’s certainly curious and [has] not been explained yet,” he said. “Speaking as a prosecuting agency, we have a cooperating witness who has not been charged, while two individuals accused of committing crimes continue to be affiliated.”
With the technical problems earlier, I missed reading this post.
from page 6 of the presentment...
“Joseph V. Paterno testified to receiving the graduate assistant’s report at his home on a Saturday morning....”
it goes on to describing the sequence of events where JoePa called Curley the next day.
“...Paterno called Tim Curley, (”Curley”),...to his home the very next day, a sunday, and reported to him that the graduate assistant had seen Jerry Sandusky in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy...”
I don’t know about you, but from where I come from...when an adult showers in the nude with a child and sexually assaults him...that is a crime that should be reported to the police.
In the paragraph prior to the section dealing with JoePa, the presentment states McQueary described to JoePa, “...what he had seen.”
Whatever that may be.
And so we see an odd game of the children’s game of “telephone”.
McQueary sees anal rape in the shower.
He describes “what he has seen” to JoePa.
Joe - according to the presentment - describes showering in the nude with fondling, or something of a sexual nature.
Curley describes horseplay
Shultz describes horseplay or something of a not too serious nature.
And, coincidentally, that is exactly how Sandusky describes it himself during his television interviews....”horseplay”
So...after all of this, in 2002, Sandusky still shows up to Penn State Football events...practices, banquets, overnights at Toftrees, tailgates...with young boys in full view of these men who carried on these strange discussions about him.
