Are you talking about Rashard Casey?
I know. I don't get these guys bringing up Rashard Casey as an example of PSU misdeeds. I'm really interested in hearing the logic behind this explained...

Madhat- Rutgers 'didn't try to hide the reason they booted' Nelson because it was clear as day. He was arrested and charged with a felony. And 'booted' is probably not a good word choice there
Do I think Kelly was arrested and charged with a felony? No I dont
Was accused of a crime, but the Grand Jury failed to indite him, but indited the person he was with.
Think the reference was because Paterno , even when a player has been arrested for a violent crime, usually refused to punish
that player no matter what is involved.
Casey wasn't found innocent , just not indited and charges were dropped.
The person he was with was found guilty.

Are you aware the City of Hoboken ended up settling a lawsuit with Casey for 'over 6 figures'?
Three strikes, you're out.Was accused of a crime, but the Grand Jury failed to indite him, but indited the person he was with.

Yes.
Cases like that will end up in lawsuits, especially ones that claim civil rights were violated .
It was reported that he received between $100,000 and $300,000.
I would have expected he would have received more and looks more of buying a person off instead of
paying lawyer fees to fight it.
Yes, Grand Jury dropped all charges and Casey later got a $300,000 settlement from Hoboken. But in your mind he is guilty. Yes, that is a great example to use against Paterno.
Trust me, I have my issues with Paterno and don't believe him to be a saint at all, but using this is pretty silly. Stick to the other stuff, lol.
So you think Casey is guilty, should have been punished by Paterno, and the city just cut him a check for a couple hundred grand for fun? Sounds good

Paterno suspended many players for arrests. Usually he used his gut feeling when deciding who and when to suspend. I do think however he lost it towards the end and really became more tolerant of things. There were many incidents that 10 years before he would never have tolerated. Sometimes he got right like Casey and sometimes he got it wrong like Austin Scott who kicked of the team after being accused of rape. The charges were later dropped and the women was charged with false statements.Was accused of a crime, but the Grand Jury failed to indite him, but indited the person he was with.

That women was a nut case. Penn State was not the first place she was run out of. I don't know how Penn State ever hired her out of UConn after the mess she left there. She did have a field day with her 15 minutes of fame during the Sandusky mess. What was never told was the reason she was fired had nothing to do with Paterno or football. Long story short when she took over she eliminated student government, threaten to pull funding from the school newspaper and radio station if she was not given control over content. She basically wanted her office to be able to censor everything like a dictator would. Eventually students revolted and forced the university to fire her. Her biggest baby was student judicial affairs where she eliminated any student representation in it and the appeal process. For those who are unaware of how it works is that student who are charged must testify at a hearing. Guilt is determined by a group of professors assigned by her and preponderance of evidence is used. However the accused are not allowed any legal representation but police may use their testimony as evidence in criminal court. So any attorney would tell a student not to participate which results in an automatic conviction.Pretty sure that Vicky Triponey wrote the book on how Paterno's PSU handled player transgressions.

Did you notice it was from 2007 and it doesn't even mention football? She was the one who tried to cash in on the Sandusky affair.I didn't know who Vicky Triponey was so I Googled her. First article was from CNN titled "The Woman Who Stood Up To Joe Paterno". Second was from a PSU site titled "The Vicky Triponey Timeline of Terror". I just love to see their spin.

So there was actually more evidence that this was going on that they ignored?Triponey is not named in the 267-page report; her experience is laid out in a footnote at the bottom of pages 65 and 66. The section deals with the janitors who were afraid they'd lose their jobs if they reported they'd seen Sandusky molesting a boy in the showers in 2000.
There was a claim by a janitor that another janitor reported to him he had seen Sandusky in the shower molesting a child. The janitor was new and they decided they should not tell anyone because they would get fired.I googled her too, and in the CNN article I saw this which I hadn't heard before:
So there was actually more evidence that this was going on that they ignored?
Agree but it does continue the narrative that everyone was afraid of Joe and that football was believed to be above the lawThere was a claim by a janitor that another janitor reported to him he had seen Sandusky in the shower molesting a child. The janitor was new and they decided they should not tell anyone because they would get fired.
The first problem is that the janitor that supposedly saw the incident has alhztimers and has no recollection of the event. The other problem is the timeline of the events do not line up. The janitor who witness it was not hired until after the janitor claims the event happened. Neither is enough to dismiss their statements but even if true how do you put blame on the university? According to him these guys made the decision on their own. It not like they spoke to an administrator who talked them out of reporting it. There are a 100 other reasons Penn State was liable but to me this doesn't show any malice on Penn State part. The bottom line is how do you ignore evidence that is not given to you. It is like blaming the police for ignoring two witnesses who scared to come forward who do so only after the arrest is made.
