Attorney general's report appears to clear Corbett in Sandusky case

[mikelets456]

HARRISBURG — Attorney General Kathleen Kane's long-awaited review of the prosecution of child molester Jerry Sandusky suggests her predecessor, Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, did not act quickly enough to search Sandusky's home, which may have helped lengthen the probe, sources tell the Tribune-Review.
Agents did not search Sandusky's home until June 2011, even though the investigation began in March 2009, according to a “factual timeline” in the report on the 33-month investigation.
Prosecutors from Corbett's time as attorney general argued that probable cause for such a search did not exist earlier.
But the report appears to hand Corbett this key conclusion: It says Kane's investigators did not find evidence that he delayed the case for political reasons, sources said.
That was one major reason for Kane's investigation, because some Pennsylvanians questioned why Sandusky was not arrested earlier.
“There's nothing in the available document record or witness interviews to support that Attorney General Corbett or anyone else in the OAG executive office at this time gave any instructions on how to conduct the investigation,” reads an excerpt from the report provided to the Trib.

You know she wanted to skewer him, so this really should clear him. They should investigate the wife. She had to know something unless she was passed out on something. The only people I feel bad for are the kids and the players who had their records erased.

This whole mess highlighted what a cesspool the NCAA is.

Jerry Sandusky should have had his 'nads nailed to a barn floor and the barn set on fire.

Anybody that knew of the abuse and did nothing is a piece of garbage.

BUT "erasing wins" !?! Removing national titles?
THAT is true big brother actions.

this is what I thought all along.
She had to be an actual accomplice to be in the house while it was going on.

A hell of a lot of people dropped the ball here, including jo pa.

Either that or she's a complete idiot, which is not out if the realm if possibility.

Paterno was a scapegoat. He reported it to the school administration and the authorities. They are the ones who dropped the ball. He was prohibited from doing any more than that by law, and by the terms if his employment.

About the only thing he could have done and didn't, was have his varsity linemen take care of Sandusky in the locker room.

paterno was king of penn state for decades.

No way will I believe he could not have done more.
He could have pulled all kinds of strings to get that slime barred from the locker rooms.
We are talking about child molestation.

paterno went down in flames for good reason.

Hope he is burning in hell as we speak.
