Are you seriously saying that because McQueary's visual observation was through a mirror, that makes it secondhand?
My contention is that before talking to Paterno, Schultz and Curley were going to report the incident to the Department of Child Welfare. After talking to Joe Paterno, they decided that they would only report the incident to the Department of Child Welfare if Sandusky wasn't cooperative (e.g. seeking professional health). This is a change of course, and the intervening event was that Curley spoke to Paterno and "gave it some more thought."
I believe your contention is that they did not change course after talking to Paterno? But in Spanier's response to Curley he speaks as if they aren't planning to notify the Department of Child Welfare. Why didn't Curley correct him if they were still planning to contact the Department of Child Welfare? And if they were still planning to contact the Department of Child Welfare, why didn't that happen? What about Schultz's response to Curley, why did he indicate that contacting the Department of Child Welfare was conditional? Why didn't Curley correct him? It's obvious that all three of them were on the same page - they weren't planning to contact the Department of Child Welfare unless Sandusky didn't cooperate with them. I don't know why you're unwilling to admit this.
Let me make it absolutely clear so you can understand. The only change in course was the talking to Sandusky, instead of just talking to other organization directly without giving Sandusky a chance to talk. You know, basic human right/due diligence, give someone the chance to explain himself before going out to the world, something with huge privacy implication, something they did not witness themselves? Something that could've been libel if they got facts wrong? And like the previous 1998 interview, a chance for Sandusky to explain?
The focus on the change of direction was absolutely not to disengage from talking to other organization. From the email, at the very least they would still talk to Second Mile, regardless of the outcome of the talk with Sandusky. Talking to Welfare is a bit more unclear, but there is also no direct mentioning that they were not going to talk to welfare.
I mean, really, with your perfect English comprehension, don't tell me you don't see that from the email.
You want fact? Here they are again. That's what you call simple and undisputed.
McQueary reported the incident to JoePa Sat. Feb 10
JoePa reported the incident to Curley and Schultz on Sun. Feb 11 Curley, his boss. Schultz the VP overseeing PSU campus police at the time.
Where is your undisputed fact that JoePa knew about 1998? Again, where is the email from or to JoePa, or one email mentioning that anyone spoke to JoePa about the result of 1998 investigation? You know that result when Penn DA decided to drop the case and basically saying Sandusky didn't committed shit?
So where is your facts again that JoePa protected Sandusky? What is his motive? Where is the fact about he wanted to protect his legacy, or Sandusky was like his personal friend that he must protect? Where was the fact that giving Sandusky to authorities, some retired guy not associated with PSU football anymore would hurt PSU football program? Come on, I am still waiting for facts supporting all you people and media's claim that JoePa protected Sandusky for PSU football, his legacy....$6.5 millions later. couple of emails with no direct reference to any of the things you people accused him of is all you got. At best you can say is you "know" something even tho nothing was mentioned specifically.
I will tell you if you go into contract dispute with shite like that, people would just laugh in your face.
