He never comitted a crime nor is there any evidence he was involved in anything that happened at Penn State. He had a job fronting for a casino in Pittsburgh; they “fired” him. The Mayor of Pittsburgh, an elected government official, forced him off a local scholarship board. So much for freedom of speech.
