It's time to officially Pit Joe Paterno and the Penn State football program.

Yes, I do.

As I said at the time you brought it up originally, I suspect there are significant material differences between what happened to you and the people and scene in the shower room that night. I suspect ages, heights and positions were different, and that your childhood perceptions of some of these might be skewed due to your size and the fact you were a child at the time. A guy broke into my house once and snuck into my bedroom while I was in bed. It was dark and I saw him only in silhouette and told the police he was about 6’1 and 195 lbs. From his fingerprints he was found and he turned out to be 5’8" and 140 lbs. So it’s clear that differences in head height and body orientation can have a significant impact on a person’s perceptions. Distortions of spatial dimensions between reality and childhood memories are something just about everyone experiences whenever revisiting rooms or fondly remembered locations from childhood are common too.

Now, having said that, I am not about to engage in a t cross-examination of you to try to drill down and try to get to all the hoary little details. These people can’t handle paper towel tubes, and even I have no appetite for discussing what happened to you as a real, living person who’s suffered through what you have, as opposed to doing what I’ve been doing which is engaging in an academic discussion on the importance of due process and the need for rules of evidence as opposed to reflexively and outragedly jumping to worst case consclusions and assuming people guilty thereby.

You can keep asking but the answer will remain the same. I’m not going to do it.
