Either way, if his story changes, or they do not find him credible, he could be up for perjury... He needs to say the same thing that he said before under oath... If not, he could be in plenty of trouble...

They have his statements under oath. If they feel that he is changing his story, they can bring him up for perjury... Period... I am hoping that he doesn't face them though. "Some of you want to make him criminal?" No. Not me. I am just saying, if you change your story under oath, its perjury... And he would be in trouble. That's the law

All of these victim's cases would be tough on their own - basically the victim's testimony vs. JS's testimony - no physical evidence, most of the alleged sexual abuse happened years ago, Victim's #2 case now might even be a problem as MM's testimony appears very impeachable and we are not sure if Victim #2 was located and if located whether he would testify for JS or the prosecution. The prosecution's strong point would be the number of these cases reflect a pattern of behavior by JS. I would be suprised if any of the Victims' cases do not make it past the preliminary hearing, and then we will have to wait a year or two for the trial. The outcome of the Curley/Shultz preliminary hearing will be the more interesting of the two.

Agreed knight, I'm looking forward to hearing the results of the Curley trial...

??? I am not attacking Mike... I just hope that his story doesn't change. I do not know what to believe, as I was not in the room, and do not know what he saw, said he saw, etc. All I was saying is that what PSUGrad91 was saying is true. If his story changes, he is in trouble, because what was relied on to draft the GJ presentment were his statements UNDER OATH. However, what Naplesalum said is also true. They are not his exact statements, rather a summary as to why there may be enough evidence to go forward with the case against Sandusky. And FYI, I do not chase ambulances lol Thanks though. The hostility has made me laugh. It's obvious that you want to fight, even though I am not attacking anyone lol If his story changes, it is true he could face perjury charges... Did I say it was likely to happen? No. Did I call him a liar? NO. I am sure, like you said, he saw something disturbing... Who would want to make that up??? I am waiting to hear what he says, just like everyone else... I merely said it's possible that he could be in some trouble- IF his story changes and he is no longer viewed as credible... I commented on what others said. And commented on what the law is... What you did was flat out insult me... Petty arguments... Something I do not like to get involved in... Nonetheless, I am doing so here... So have fun making some off pudding snide comment about what type of lawyer I am again lol

MM has a lot of things to worry about . . . the least of which is perjury. Witnesses' accounts change all the time, even in multiple sworn proceedings. I'm not suggesting that MM is going to "change" his story, but prosecutors almost never file perjury charges because one of their own witnesses tells two somewhat contradictory stories under oath. Prosecutors threaten such action all the time, but almost never do it.

Agreed ramblewood, the actual amount of times that they are filed is few and far between. But one has to wonder with the incredibly public nature of this trial... The court of public opinion would certainly turn on MM and perhaps force the hand of the prosecutor, which also happens a lot. But at any rate, I am hoping for the best possible result for my school... But at this point, I am not even sure what that is... A mess that will probably get worse before it gets better... The truth will definitely come out though... Definitely hoping for the best though over these next few weeks... WE ARE

I just want this to be over... I will def be listening up though... Will be interesting to see what happens.

I concur. I think that it is safe to conclude that since the AG did not file perjury charges against JVP, that JVP's testimony about "fondling or something of a sexual nature" that he reported to Curley & Schultz is consistent with what MM testified that he reported to JVP. And with the recent reporting in the newspapers of Dranov's testimony, I think that backs this up.

BTW: Live in Bellefonte and will not be traveling thru town to work tomorrow. So working @ home and will be monitoring the news periodically for Hearing updates.

Cheers!

I apologize for the misreading of the post. I am just sick of everyone attacking psu, joe, mike. We are turning over rocks and making what if post like we are espn. If mike tells a different story then fine go after him. But you can say that about a lot of witnesses. Mike seems to be bring out hatred like he is the reason joe is gone. Mike is psu. Mike mike would rather be coaching right now then sitting at home receiving death threats. We all should be supporting a witness to this sick crime not throwing out what ifs. Because ther is a very good chance mike has given up his career for something he never wanted to see or witness. Why could he just be like aloof the other psu coaches who do not work late.

No you are right. I knew I remembered "believed" to be in there . I shoukdve double checked but dont want to read that thing anymore.

Thanks for the replies to my post. Didn't mean to start a disagreement amongst PSU fans. I am a physician and the legal process is interesting to me. Still trying to figure out the Casey Anthony and OJ trials!

I guess the story will be that he heard the slapping sounds that JS's attorney will try to introduce doubt if it is possible that it was "horseplay". Seems McQueary's testimony may not be as inconsistent as it has been portrayed and assumed in the media...

We are all sick of the ESPN bottom line destroying the PSU program, Joe and Mike... we are all on the same side in that we want due process for the victims and the truth about Joe, the PSU program, Curley and Spanier to come out. It starts tomorrow...
