If Chris Brown gets community service and Stallworth gets probation then I seriously doubt that Joe Pa goes to jail. They don't just send 85 year old men with no criminal record to jail, never mind 85 year old men that can afford very expensive attorneys. He's more likely to look at a huge civil suit for negligence and if he does get convicted criminally it will be probation.

I made this chart on my own all by myself and totally didn't copy it from wikipedia.

Neither one of those involved multiple child molestations either. Even child molestation is regarded as a heinous crime amongs murders, rapists, and theives. Also, examples will be made for any and everybody that decides to look the other way when a crime of this nature happens. Not to mention, the nation is watching.

That's the thing. I read somewhere that Sandusky got a retirement package of that a professor would receive so who arranged that package, and why was it arranged after the '98 sexual allegations event? No doubt Joe Paterno was involved in this as well. There is a reason he's calling a defense lawyer, and it's not to schedule a round of golf now that he's unemployed.



McQueary's future at Penn State unclear after private trustee meeting

Acting university president Rod Erickson this evening told reporters to "stay tuned" when asked why Mr. McQueary, who reportedly witnessed the rape of a child by a former football coach, was still employed.

My point being that if someone like Chris Brown who actually commits a heinous crime doesn't get jail time what makes you think that an indirect accessory like Joe Pa would get jail time. Civil Suits totaling millions of dollars are going to be his main problem and this is a guy that had $4 million lying around to build a library.

On a side note I just realized that in high school I wore the Penn State logo on my helmet. Funny to think what that logo represents now.

Just to give you an idea of how much Joe Pa could be in for

Paterno's salary released to public

Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State coach Joe Paterno is a millionaire.

Records released Friday by the university show the 82-year-old Hall of Famer is Penn State's highest-paid employee, making more than $1.03 million last year.

That includes his base salary plus any bonuses, but does not include compensation from outside the university that top coaches typically collect. Paterno's compensation from other sources is not a public record.

The records were released in compliance with a Pennsylvania Right-to-Know law that took effect in January.

Paterno's salary was once one of college football's most closely-guarded secrets until his base salary of roughly $500,000 was made public two years ago as part of an open records request of state retirement data initiated by the Patriot News of Harrisburg.

I agree with you but I was paraphrasing from the penn state neighbor's discussion, and also what I have been seeing on TV.

TV said tonight that two of the charges Joe may face are felonies in the state of Pennsylvania and the violation of the Child Protective Services law can carry a 3 year sentence in jail.

He most likely will have community service / some type of fines, but then again the judge can look how far back joe was covering things up and be stricter on him... I'm not a lawyer so i dont know how that all works.

Penn State Live - Reminder: Penn State to hold commencement ceremonies May 18-20


-- 3 p.m.: The College of Health and Human Development commencement ceremony in the Bryce Jordan Center. Jerry Sandusky, founder of The Second Mile, will speak.


Even back in 2007, they were having this child molester speak at commencement. I really hope all involved die horrible deaths. Seriously.

Here is something to think about. You ever think that Penn State pulls all images or names of Joe Paterno from the campus if its shown he really was involved heavily in the coverup?

Ive heard rumors already of taking his statue down, maybe as a symbolic gesture. I think as everyone digest the severity of what happend and joes role in it students/alumni/school will have a strong desire to separate themselves from his likeness

Only 1 million??...lol Hell the coach here at ECU makes that. That school profits (yes..profits) 50 million a year on Penn State football.

Thats the base salary. He makes more with bonuses and 'donations' from boosters.
