we have now gotten a verdict in the jerry sandusky child molestation trial
of course jerry sandusky the former penn state assistant football coach on
november fourth of twenty eleven he was charged with forty counties sex crimes
against young boys following what was then a three-year investigation then we
saw the number of charges balloon up to fifty one
and then drop back down to forty eight shortly before
the case was turned over to the jury because
three of those charges
pat i believe it was either exceeded the statue of limitations or the witnesses
have been submitted to late
uh... but needless to say of those forty eight charges we now have seen eight
guilty verdict
on forty five of those in this would be potentially of four hundred and forty
two years in prison
it's likely according to n_b_c_ news that weren't looking at it at least
sixty years in prison it jerry sandusky is age
but basically a life sentence is what we're talking about at this point
uh... you know we talked so much on this show about these stories particularly
more often i have to admit not with sports people
but without religious representatives including could increase in the distant
the story last week of a man who
uh... assaulted
a preschool allegedly had raped him back in nineteen seventy five and now he is
on trial for that assault
we have so many complains about the legal system lending itself to this type
of vigilante justice because it doesn't properly
go after some of these child predators
do you think this is a case where justice was quote served in whatever
kind of romantic romanticized a a conception you half of that word or
what do you think about how the legal system worked in this case
well legal system if it worked fine larry this is actually
pretty rapid
what you have the point where the the public accusation was made and the
charges were filed writing that the problem was before the legal system
really got to it that people were reported was going on right and that
sort of societal breakdown i think it's hard to
comprehend dat
the we we talk about sort of give to society is changing people's depends but
as i don't know we didn't society was concert ok used to be molesting under
installer what what's interesting is that there are certain areas where it's
mass and so much that is okay but it's kind of their there's an there's a
culture of cover frighteningly look at the history of the catholic church and
we talked about this so extensively
i think now there's a consensus that there at least have had their there's an
implicit uh... there have been cover-ups and there have been relocations of of
people who have of committed some of these vile sex crimes
instead of reporting them
to police authorities and it's similar in a sense of the kind of culture of
what's good for the penn state football program is priority number one and
whatever the legal or ethical responsibilities are going to fall
secondary to that and there's a similarity there i think what but you're
right that separate from the legal system bread and businesses situations
you have to work out the church uh... where our personality
alter or the doctors use of uh... where it is an issue out
will take your own business right amar edward st step removed from civil
society announced over the legal system
i'm not defending any way shape or form
but there's certainly look at least a veneer over doing something right wilmut
has gotten this diocese voter diocese where there's been a penn state case
so someone chose to do nothing
the beta dealers and all and again there is and that you really about whether
legally they were doing anything wrong in other words
uh... but as far as mike mccreary this father assistant coach who allegedly
witness jerry sandusky in the shower etcetera
as far as we know he actually didn't break any laws he reported it to his
superior right
it was then that there was no further follow-up they didn't get further
escalated law enforcement brought in et cetera
and that's where i don't quite know
who who is the exact person i really have the responsibility of the legal
responsibility to report it didn't right and and i think that now there is
discussion of the same way the new york there's a discussion of changing the law
that says it's illegal
to download child porn but if you were just looking at it on the on the screen
and not
actually hitting download even though really your browser actually does
download every picture you see
that is being kind of address now legislatively
in pennsylvania we also i think the see something similar happened
area hopefully eddie
more tension pressures but saw on your filling these legal gap
uh... and maybe and prior organizations making it very clear what your legal and
moral responsibility is when you come across a jewish is like that so over
that because more more clear
i'm eager to learn that some of the points taken act
uh... prematurely of research on serb occasion unfairly sir but in this case
it is a video close call of duty i don't know about certainly not and foxnews of
mixing up a little bit of the reporting on this jury sandusky particu approx
news is notorious for when he republican does something bad wrong against the law
they mislabeled
than as a democrat very very comedy shows up with the dean extend their name
it's happening illa little too often to be considered cumplea and other
coincidence but we have no evidence that there's any kind of conspiracy there now
we have uh... a little bit of video here where indicating that this is kind of
opposite i'm trying to interpret this myself
maybe it's just a mixed up
talking about the jury sandusky verdict
showing video
of mitch daniels identifying meeting daniels the republican as the
uh... convicted
child that the child powder and you know what i don't think we're going to be
able to put the video up because we're having some kind of technical difficulty
here
but uh... that being said
at least some evidence that it's general incompetence at fox news and not so much
adhered towards making
democrats look bad the fact that they would miss label
uh... mitch daniels as a child predator well either
unless the government to use your guitar at and do you think this this speak to
the possibility of happened
that it's not that
they remain the ends
are always trying to
smear democrat
is that they just have generally a competent staff that's what i'm saying
yeah uh... that i think the fox news business model
is
to not spending money on actual news-gathering right antu spend on
graphics of wardrobe examining and stuff like that and in eighteen years cheek
terror
so if you don't bother with hiring a staff that does
who is uh... whose louisiana photograph
yeah that is indeed that is a veteran suitcase yeah force
