Wonder how often accused serial rapists are allowed bail?

P.S. However, the concluding paragraph to your linkypoo is just sad FAIL:

This is just the beginning of the liberal democrat scandal of the Century. This will make the Catholic priest scandal pale by comparison. Just watch, over the next 6 to nine months, ... the liberal elitist professors will be taking early retirement, or leaving on long term sabbaticals, sans pay ,, in droves .

The Big Ten has taken Joe Paterno's name off the Big Ten's football championship trophy.

League commissioner Jim Delany said Monday that it is "inappropriate" to keep Paterno's name on the trophy that will be awarded Dec. 3 after the first Big Ten title game.

Penn State fired Paterno, its longtime head coach, last week and investigations are under way into allegations of child sex-abuse involving a former assistant for the Nittany Lions.

The trophy had been named the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy. Amos Alonzo Stagg won 319 games in 57 years, most at the University of Chicago. Paterno's 409 wins are the most by a major college coach.

The trophy will now be called the Stagg Championship Trophy.

Since Sandusky was freed, an elementary school bordering his home has taken steps to ensure student safety. Sandusky's backyard is next to the playground at Lemont Elementary School.

Depends on the jurisdiction. Here, everyone is entitled to have bail set save those accused of crimes where the potential penalty is life. The feds handle things differently.

100K for sexual assault isn't out of line, although a home confinement provision is also pretty standard these days. We have to remember that as per the legal system he's still innocent.

I did not know of--nor cared about--Penn State and college football in general for reasons I will not tangent the thread. The mindless devotion to the Church of Paterno--the amount of power he wielded in not only the university but the state is appalling. The willingness to excuse this behavior from True Believers is only outdone by the willingness of Paterno to cover up these incidents.

--J.D.

I've, until recently, considered Paterno to be one of the finer human beings on the planet. Simply labeling him a coach is a bit unfair, especially from the perspective of Penn State. Sure, he managed to run a competitive program without breaking any major rules and with an absolutely outstanding graduation rate. None of this makes up for his current lapse, to be sure, but it, along with the below does at least partially explain, but not excuse, the sort of denial on the part of PSU partisans.

Beyond sports he brought more money into the academic programs there than one might imagine between alumni support and membership in the CIC. Just membership in the CIC (committee on industrial cooperation) brings in absurd grant money and resources. You get into the CIC by joining the Big 10, which these days means you better have a solid football program along with strong academics. Plus Paterno bought the university a library and made countless other economic sacrifices for the better of the school, although the cynic would point out they were also for the benefit of his legend.

So when you are at Penn State, Paterno's fingerprints are on virtually everything. From the books in the library to the test tubes in the lab, the money behind these things is at least indirectly attributable to Paterno and his program.

So there is a ton of emotional investment involved here, more than would be at any other university. It is a unique situation.

It's been announced that Joe Paterno has lung cancer:

Pretty much people have had to look for idiots to put on talk shows. I suppose there are more such in Pennsylvania--rather par for the course--but in more civilized areas, you have to look. There have been a few who claim "dey coulda let him go with digny!!"

I say he goes with the same dignity the victims of his omission then commission suffered. Make no mistake, to cover up and turn a blind eye makes one an accessory in the eyes of That Hot ADA on Law & Order.

Like earlier accusers, both of the new alleged victims told the grand jury they met Sandusky through The Second Mile charity for at-risk children that he founded in 1977.

"As in many of the other cases identified to date, the contact with Sandusky allegedly fit a pattern of `grooming' victims," Attorney General Linda Kelly said in a statement. "Beginning with outings to football games and gifts; they later included physical contact that escalated to sexual assaults."

One of the new alleged victims, dubbed Victim 9 by prosecutors, claims he was first assaulted in 2004, and the other, called Victim 10, told the grand jury he was assaulted after being referred to Second Mile in 1997.

The ninth accuser, currently 18, was 11 or 12 when he first met Sandusky in 2004. Sandusky took him to Penn State football games and gave him gifts and money, and later sexually assaulted him during overnight stays in a basement bedroom in Sandusky's home, the grand jury said.

The accuser said that Sandusky forced the boy to perform oral sex and attempted on at least 16 occasions to anally penetrate him, sometimes successfully. "The victim testified that on at least one occasion he screamed for help, knowing that Sandusky's wife was upstairs, but no one ever came to help him," the grand jury report said.

Sandusky waived his preliminary hearing. Probably the wise thing to do, although he is passing on a strong discovery tool. The publicity generated by having those children tell their stories in public and the damage that would cause is considerable.

Plus, I don't know how it works in PA, but here at the end of a prelim the prosecutor can argue for a bond increase....

Absolutely. Aside from the horror of the pedophilia acts themselves, the school has taken a major PR hit from the reactions of their own community. They are going to be a joke for the near future. To minimize that, they have to tell the apologists to shut the fuck up.

Westboro Baptist Church To Protest Joe Paterno Funeral

Speaking for her family (which pretty much makes up the congregation) Margie Phelps, daughter of Pastor Fred Phelps tweeted:

“Penn State Penn Rape” rings in Joe Paterno’s earns in hell” He partook of sin for fame & fortune. Worth NOTHING to him now. #PicketFuneral.”

Perhaps if any member of the church knew how to read they would realize that while Joe Paterno was ultimately fired because the administration felt a change needed to be made they would have realized that following the “shower incidence” at Penn State it was Joe Paterno who handed the Jerry Sandusky case immediately over to school investigators. In fact a grand jury cleared the head coach of all wrongdoing in the case

Pyrrho · Post by **Pyrrho** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 1:26 am

Immediately? He waited from Saturday until Sunday. After that, it was out of sight, out of mind for how many years while the alleged perpetrator retained his access to the school facilities--and to young boys.

Oh, and the Phelps ghouls can go to hell without passing "Go."

According to a Talking Head on the radio, the Governor of Pennsylvania ordered all state flags at half-mast for Joe Paterno. However, the Paterno family requested he not attend services. Reason: he was the last to speak on the conference call with the board of trustees prior to them voting to fire the cunt. Apparently his last words and advice to the trustees was, "remember the boy in the shower."

Fuck the cunt, fuck his family, fuck such enablers.

(AP) – Barring a miracle, Jerry Sandusky is going to spend the rest of his life in prison. A jury tonight convicted the former Penn State assistant football coach on 45 of 48 counts of sexually abusing boys. The jury of seven women and five men, including nine with ties to Penn State, deliberated more than 20 hours over two days. Sandusky, 68, showed little emotion as the verdict was read. Judge John Cleland revoked his bail and ordered him taken to the county jail to await sentencing in about three months. Many of the charges carry mandatory minimum sentences.

Sandusky half-waved toward his family in the courtroom as the sheriff led him away. Outside, he calmly walked to a sheriff's car with his hands cuffed in front of him. Almost immediately after the judge adjourned the case, loud cheers could be heard from a couple of hundred people gathered outside the courthouse as word quickly spread that Sandusky had been convicted. Yesterday, Sandusky's adopted son, Matt, told prosecutors for the first time that he had been molested, too.

Though Friday night's verdict prompted cheers outside the courtroom, inside, the mother of Victim 6 did not claim victory.

"Nobody wins. We've all lost," she said before hugging her son.

Not surprised:

Former Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno and other top university officials acted with "total disregard" for the children sexually abused by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky because of their fear of "bad publicity," a report by the university's internal investigation said today.

The report was released at the conclusion of the investigation led by former FBI director Louis Freeh, who was hired to find out why officials who knew of child molestation accusations failed to stop Sandusky or report him to police.
The report said that Paterno, along with officials Tim Curley, Gary Schultz, and former president Graham Spanier, "repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse from the authorities," and it blamed those four men for failing to stop Sandusky and protect other chidlren [Sic--Ed.] from his harm.
