Good guy? He really didn't do all he could to protect the kids. He never went to the police.Good for him. He's the good guy in all of this, yet PSU a-holes made him a villain.
He told Paterno, then university officials. Since then, his life has been hell.Good guy? He really didn't do all he could to protect the kids. He never went to the police.
The way I understand events he told Paterno, then officials, then years passed, then Sandusky came under investigation, then McQueary cooperated with investigation, then his life turned into a living hell.He told Paterno, then university officials. Since then, his life has been hell.
I'm just saying many people would have gone to the police. He didn't and if my understanding is correct it was years between the time he witnessed events and when he suffered for cooperating.Penn State obviously could never provide McQueary institutional cover without implicating JoePa and pretty much everyone else in Happy Valley.
So, they abandoned, roasted, and buried the poor slob because he took on that miserable old man and his henchmen with nothing to lose.....happily, this is one time the courts got it right. I'm still praying that disgusting Graham Spanier.....who, in my estimation, is only marginally better than Sandusky......gets hung from Mount Nittany at some point.
Oh, the one thing I think the jury got wrong was neglecting to put a "1" before the "7" in MM's award. I don't know if the award can be appealed; but if he actually cashes that check, at least it's enough for the guy to finally live a private and comfortable life in a place of his own choosing
Your timeline is correct. I think he tried to do the right thing through the channels. My issue with him is that he didn't leave the channels to do the right thing once he saw that going through the university wasn't working. I'll give him credit for cooperating fully once he was made aware of the official investigation. How they found out about him being a witness is quirky as all get out though. Maybe he should be characterized as one of the lesser bad actors in the whole ordeal, and he trusted his bosses to do the right thing - foolishly.I'm just saying many people would have gone to the police.
