Stellatella sent Sandusky $100. He wrote personal letters to other members of the 1959 Liberty Bowl team that defeated a Bear Bryant-coached Alabama team and asked they also donate. He does not know how much money was raised.
"I know some of the guys sent money," Stellatella told The Associated Press. "Here's the thing, these are horrendous charges against him. But he's still entitled to his day in court. Everybody's prejudged him. He's done horrendous damage to Paterno and (athletic director Tim) Curley and the football program. I don't listen to the news and I don't read the reports of what he did because I would get too upset.
"But he's still entitled to his day in court." I don't know if Stellatella's reason is genuine or not but it's still a valid one. Unless Sandusky is a rich motherfucker that could afford any lawyer he wants in which case this reason falls flat on it's face. He admits he didn't read or follow what's happened. If there's an issue with the court system in the US and the disparity in lawyers, then that's one thing. He's just blindly donating to a person he likes. Sandusky will have his day in court, regardless of hiring a high powered lawyer or not.
You're making a heck of a lot of assumptions for a mere $100 donation. He's making a small donation based on the principal that the guy is innocent until proven guilty. It's not "blind" at all because it's based on a principal that he will hold regardless of the content of the news coverage. $100 isn't going to get him close to a high-powered lawyer, but it's some small support of the idea that the media shouldn't be able to convict someone.

There is no assumption, he explicitly stated he's not following it.
"I don't listen to the news and I don't read the reports of what he did because I would get too upset."
If that's not blind, then what is? He's blindly following an ideal.

I don't understand how Paterno could have reported the 2002 incident upstairs and then acted like nothing happened after no action was taken by his "superiors" in the university administration.
Paterno said McQreary (whatever, weirdly-spelled name) told him something "vague" regarding Sandusky "fondling" a ten year old in the shower. Full stop there Joe. That's enough knowledge that you, as coach and demigod of State College, Pennsylvania, have a duty to do something about. You don't need more details.
And apparently reports or rumors went back as far as 1995, the details get worse every day. It looks like everyone in the PSU administration who should have done something if they knew either did know and did nothing, or didn't know because they didn't want to open their eyes.

The judge who gave Sandusky $100,000 unsecured bail (he didn't actually have to pay anything) is also a volunteer at Second Mile. >.>

Should have recused herself, but I don't think it's a terribly big deal that he is free right now. He's not going to kidnap children and rape them, that isn't how he rolls. He has to have permission to have access to kids and he will never have that again, at least in the near future. Does look really bad though, what was that judge thinking??

That might be true but keep in mind that his house is right next to an elementary school playground. If nothing else it makes people nervous and uncomfortable.

Agreed.

That article does not portray Sandusky as a victim. Just says people are looking for answers as to why he did it, and probes his past

Sandusky has never been charged with anything before this.

Sportscenter just played a damning tape of a telephone conversation with the wife of the Syracuse assistant coach believed to have been sexually assaulting boys. She basically admitted she knew what was happening and her husband's issues and wouldn't do anything to stop it. She even slept with one of the same boys her husband did.
Fuck these people. I hope the rest of their lives are miserable.

It makes me want to accept theism just to send them to Hell.
