IMO, the media had a lot to do with it.
Look at the recent controversy as to whether or not Penn State should play in a Bowl game. Many have been rooting against them, and the media has been split as to whether they should attend games they're offered, or simply say, "No thanks."
The media hasn't given the team/school a break, and now Penn State won't give Penn State a break.

I think I said this earlier in the thread, but almost everything I've seen posted about this has been "Why did Penn State let this happen?" as opposed to "Why did Sandusky do this?"
Even though I disagree with piling on JoePa, it made some sense. Going after the school as a whole, though, is going too far IMO.

EPIC FAIL
Unbelievable that Sandusky's attorney would make what I assume was a flippant remark, with this kind of accidental outcome. 
Things just go from horrible to staggering...

It's a very common thing to say "dial 1-800-WHATEVERISPERTINENTTOTHESITUATION." If people actually think that the lawyer KNEW this was a gay sex line, they're nuts.

They are picking on this lawyer because they think he is a cocky idiot who has labeled the accusers as liars. He is doing what an attorney is supposed to do but calling children, who may be victims, liars has rubbed people the wrong way. People are angered by the claim that these children and their parents had nothing better to do than to pretend to be abused and to try and accuse (and con) Sandusky.

The fact that news outlets have even reported this made me roll my eyes. I don't know this lawyer (I haven't been playing close attention to this story recently), but folks seem to be taking the focus off Sandusky and keep going to those around him.

Sandusky was smiling in all of the footage I saw yesterday. As I recall from an old Maddox post, that's a sure sign of a pedo.

Fair enough.
It just irks me when the person who SHOULD be getting the heat (Sandusky) take a back seat to any- and everyone surrounding him/her.
I guess I can attribute it to the 24-hour news cycle (outlets need SOMETHING to fill columns), but it doesn't make me roll my eyes any less.

So now one of Sandusky's adopted children is claiming that Sandusky sexually abused him.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/21/justic...html?hpt=hp_t1
The CNN report on this ^^ indicates that the man making that claim was willing / planning to testify for the prosecution.
Is it just me, or does it seem this case just keeps getting creepier and creepier?

It is seemingly getting creepier. I also think it is getting more sick by the day too but that is just me.
