Spin it all the directions you want but when confronted with the idea that his close friend was raping children Joe Paterno... blinked. And it kept happening.

Joe Paterno is guilty in so far as it was happening under his watch. While he did his part (legally speaking) with the Sandusky incident in 2002, he most definitely could have pressed the issue further given his stature on campus and in the state of Pennsylvania. However, this idea that he actively helped cover for Sandusky for all those years is a different matter. As the prosecutors in the Sandusky trial have stated, there is absolutely no proof of that ever having happened.

The truth is always somewhere in the middle. I do not believe Paterno was the monster many of you claim. But do I think he is totally clean? No.
