New Judge in Case
There's a new judge for Jerry Sandusky's trial for dozens of counts of child rape and molestation. The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts has assigned Judge Robert Scott to preside after questions arose about District Judge Leslie Dutchcot's ties to Sandusky.
Dutchcot came under fire when she allowed the former Penn State assistant football coach to walk free without paying bond. It was later discovered that Dutchcot volunteered with Sandusky's charity The Second Mile and even received campaign donations from The Second Mile.
The press release announcing Judge Scott says he has no known ties with the Penn State University or The Second Mile.

Mike McQueery claims he "stopped" the rape he witnessed
According to the grand jury report, a graduate assistant later identified as McQueary said he saw a boy, whose age he estimated at 10 years old, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky in a shower at the Penn State football building in March 2002. The graduate assistant left immediately, was distraught and called his father, according to the presentment. His father told him to leave the building and come to his home, the presentment says.
In the email obtained by The Morning Call, dated Nov. 8, McQueary said, "I did stop it, not physically, but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker room."
"No one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds," McQueary wrote. "Trust me."
The email obtained by The Morning Call is the second to surface from McQueary in which he claims the facts of his involvement are distorted. NBC News reported Monday night that McQueary emailed friends and former teammates, telling them, "I did the right thing you guys know me the truth is not out there fully I didn't just turn and run I made sure it stopped I had to make quick tough decisions."
Asked about McQueary’s statement in the email that he had discussions with police, Penn State police told The Morning Call they were deferring to the university public relations office, which did not return a call Tuesday afternoon. Pennsylvania State Police in Harrisburg, who are heading the investigation, did not return a call.

The only thing I don't understand is how he was able to still work at Penn State, and constantly look Sandusky in the eyes. It would have been too much to just act like nothing happened.
i've been trying to figure out how much mcqueary might have seen sandusky after that cause if he didn't see him, it probably made it easier to believe the administration had actually dealt with it.
i feel like i read sandusky showed up there but i've read so much it starts running together in my head. i think though that might have just been after his initial retirement in 1999 not after 2002 when they took away his keys. from what i can find, sandusky still used satellite facilities for football camps but i can't tell if he ever really used the main campus again and there are no other grand jury incidents after that taking place at penn state so without more info, idk if the two ever saw each other again.
I'm with you on that first part though...I know how I'd want to act, but I have no idea how I'd really react under shock. It's really scary. And I think the case is going to start looking worse and worse for Penn State as the full details of the cover-up come out.
