re: Would LSU fans have stood up against Schiano like Vol fans are?

Hearsay in this context is when someone says they were told something by a 2nd party that they didn’t actually witness.

That's just absolutely not true.

Hearsay in any context involving criminal law (or civil law for that matter) is a person's out of court statement made for the truth of what they're asserting [FRE 801(c)].

Here, Schiano's out of court statement would be something like, "I never saw that."

In fact, in this context, "McQueary testified he was told by someone else (Bradley)," would not even be hearsay if it were offered to rebut Schiano's inconsistent statement at trial (see above denial).

There are some strict exceptions but generally hearsay is not admissible

No offense, bro. But please don't wade into hearsay exceptions if you aren't prepared to have the definition of hearsay down first.

You certainly could not convict Schiano of anything based on McQueary saying Bradley told McQueary what Schiano told Bradley. And from what I’ve read that’s the extent of the case against Schiano. Pretty flimsy to accuse someone of covering up something.

Not saying a jury would or should convict him of conspiracy, or whatever they would charge him with. But simply because it seems like "hearsay" doesn't mean it is not relevant evidence, especially in child sex abuse cases.






This is all academic anyway. As mentioned before, short of serial murder, an accusation of covering up child sexual exploitation is about as heinous as it gets.

That kind of stink doesn't wash off.

Lots of posters wanted to hire Louisville's slimy AD.

No.

Tennessee fans are just mad the best they could come up with is a washed up Schiano.

They don't want to accept that they are a mediocre program that will never repeat their history.

In fairness the rationale against Miles firing then actually came true. The concern was we couldnt upgrade... And now we have a coach who will never deliver what Miles did.

My understanding is the order was the opposite. McQueary testified he was told a by Bradley that Schiano told Bradley he saw Sandusky raping a kid which Schiano denies. I’m was not aware Schanio even testified. If your order is correct that is different.

However I don’t see how you can prove he’s lying and unless there is some report that was filed or Bradley himself testifies what McQueary said.

ETA: I now read where both Schiano and Bradley deny what McQueary said.

Evidence of what? That he saw a crime and didn’t report it at worst? Seems flimsy to accuse someone of covering up child molestation or being a pedo which the mob is doing. I’d also be curious is this moral outrage would be the same if his record was better.

I respect the turn around but we lost to Troy. Season was ruined at that point.
