Two years ago I ranted against the prosecutors in the Penn State Sandusky scandal. It was a clear and disquieting case of community madness. Walter Olson dismissed me as being a nut about it.

One fellow, John Ziegler, took up the mistreatment of Joe Paterno by Penn State in his blog framingpaterno.com. After working the cause 0ver a year, Ziegler finally found that Sandusky himself was undoubtedly innocent. John Ziegler now reports that all who know the case now see it as I do. The Penn State BOT is going to review the Free report and there is hope that some judge will let the law and facts prevail. A CATO treatment could give cover to a responsible judge, if there is one in PA. Sandusky’s jury and Judge Cleland felt their duty was to remove a pedophile from the community. Sandusky’s innocence was not considered. The boys all said they had high powered lawyers even though they were considered victims by all. The lawyers were to help with the media. Those same high powered lawyers took Penn State to the cleaners for $60 million.

By the way, Associate Justice Sotomayor’s decision in the Skilling case was brilliant.
