Cliffs notes for those with add here.
?After giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe yesterday, I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps. I am having trouble with going to everyone, but the person involved.?
? Penn State AD Tim Curley, in an e-mail to school president Graham Spanier.
And with that, CNN?s devastating chronicle of the active shielding of child-rapist Jerry Sandusky, the legacy of Joe Paterno is forever sealed. The coach did not merely turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to violent acts against children, but made sure they continued. He was not the dutiful employee passing things up the chain of command, but the commander himself.
Those nominally outranking him ? Curley, Spanier and VP Gary Schultz ? were set to inform outside authorities that Jerry Sandusky was seen assaulting a boy in the football-office showers. A series of emails details the conversation agreeing on a plan to contact the Second Mile chairman, the Department of Welfare and Sandusky to describe the eyewitness account.
That didn?t happen, however, because Joe Paterno made the call: nobody say nuthin? to nobody.
The timeline is easy to follow, the story clear. If you wish to read every word of the emails yourself, you can:
