And again, lest someone accuse me of "sticking up for Paterno even though he didn't do what he should have done," based on the information I have seen, I would agree that Paterno's response should certainly have been much more vigorous than it was. He should have pressed McQueary for enough details to understand what to do. He appears to have not done that, though we really don't even know that. Maybe he did. Maybe McQueary refused to tell him. We do not know.

And I'll also say that it looks like Paterno had enough information about Sandusky to prohibit his use of university football facilities, and should also have done that. So yeah, this looks very bad for Paterno. Paterno, who used to be considered a model of moral behavior.

If I were investigating this, I would be very curious about what Paterno knew and didn't know and about what he said and didn't say, and to whom. And I would seek out that information as part of my investigation, which would precede judgment. Apparently, some here would do those steps in a different order.
