is this defense lawyer learning on the job. hilariously bad at reexamination.

I've watched enough TV to know as a lawyer you never ask a question you don't already know the answer too.

i heard he will be requesting to serve his sentence in a pennsylvania juvenile detention facility

Never really understand the whole suicide watch thing? What do we care? Animals like this should be encouraged...On less inmate to pay for for the next 40-60 years. Should have rope and pills as a standard in all jail cells. Sounds like an UN-Christian thing to say, but it's hard for me to forgive someone that has abused innocent children.

That's the easy way out. Let them suffer the rest of their days. They are the lowest of the food chain in prison. Let him look over his shoulder every day and night experiencing the fear and hopelessness his victims felt.

A lot of people at Penn State knew about this and looked the other way for a long time. This is just getting started for the University and the State of PA.

Looks like Joe knew what more about what was going on with the higher uppers at PSU.

As much as I want to agree with this, I also want to point out that people on long term/life sentences usually die earlier than those who get a death sentence. Apparently they appeal far less since they're not trying to stave off imminent death and don't take care of themselves as well. It's a bizarre stat, and I only know it because it was brought up in a death penalty discussion when I was doing admin work for a law firm.

There's a ton of people who have an eerie fascination with this entire story.

I mean the guys guilty... let's move on.

[Sly Fox]

It is the stench of cover-up that allows the story to have legs. And this one wreaks to high heaven.

looks like a southern/western thing?

It was front page on ESPN/lead story on Sports Center just a few days ago. It's still national in scale.

ok.

[Sly Fox]

It is looking the other way in order to protect JoePa's program that allowed this mess to spiral out of control. The I guess some are quick to forget recent lessons or to continue to pretend like everything is just fine.

[PAmedic]

the whole thing blew up.

it was obviously a mess, those who covered it up are gone and/or will be.

I'm comfortable betting my next paycheck that if this involved a certain university in TX that there would be a lot less interest around here.

as I said. next.

[Sly Fox]

Not from me. I don't get easily riled up but when it comes to sexual abuse of kids it gets personal for me. I've seen the devastation in my family firsthand.

Wow, you would lose a paycheck. This is the single biggest collegiate sports scandal of the modern era at least. The latest email trail seems to point directly to JoePa stopping the PSU administration from going to the police with the information. It's a huge deal and it would be at any university, especially one of the traditional football powers. The overly defensive delusion of much of the PSU fanbase did likely extend the longevity a bit, but it could be Texas, Miami, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, etc. and it would still be a mega story with just as much national interst.

[jbock13]

Or maybe you just don't have anything else to do.

and I arrest people for it.

I win.

[Sly Fox]

Wish you would have been an officer in State College a decade ago and scores of lives could have potentially avoided being destroyed. Instead, the program was protected. Disgusting.
