He's not believable. There is no consistency, and the Paterno grand jury testimony, read into the record today, doesn't help matters one bit:
McQueary told him he'd seen Sandusky who was "fondling a young boy" in the showers of the Lasch Building.
"It was of sexual nature. I'm not sure exactly what it was. I didn't push Mike ... because he was obviously very upset," according to his testimony.
"I was in a little bit of a dilemma ... because Sandusky didn't work for me anymore," it continues.
Paterno testified that he told McQueary he would contact the appropriate people at Penn State.
"I have a tremendous amount of confidence in Mr. Curley, I thought he would handle it appropriately," according to testimony. "...I did tell Mike, you did what was right, you told me."
He continued to explain that he couldn't be precise about when he called athletic director
Tim Curley because it was a Saturday, and he probably didn't want to disrupt his weekend.
There is no evidence Paterno did anything wrong, and no evidence the superiors did, either, given what facts were presented to them at the time.
I guess a trial with everybody under oath will have to shake this thing clean.

Now it is official, even if WCSD refuses to admit it: The phony baloney lawsuit was settled on November 21 and a stipulation for dismissal was filed with the court today.
I expressed outrage three days ago when I found out the lawyers had never notified me of a mediation date, and when I did find out and demanded to know how much money the plaintiffs got, the district had the goddamned gall to contact Google and force them to delete the email.
The Board of Trustees and the superintendent need to be run out of town on a rail. Without their approval, no settlement can occur.
