The Pre-Trial Motions will be over by September and that will determine the start of the trials shortly after and the reasons for the delays has been and always has been the Interlocutory Appeals permissible under Pennsylvania Law in Child Abuse Criminal Cases. It allows a Defense to challenge every ruling by Judge on the Pre-Trial Motions and what can be charged and admitted into evidence.
Smart Lawyer's delay this type of Trial as a strategic tactic and I knew a Person once falsely accused of such Abuse and he had an excellent Attorney that delayed the Trial for 13 years and won the Case. Unfortunately, he never regained his name, job, or reputation back. If it ever happens you, or a your family or friend and they are innocent you would expect the same rights to defend yourself or your loved one, but that is why we all have Constitutional Rights.
They apply to all of us and to stop, prove, or find someone Guilty or Not Guilty at any Trial. The Penn State Three have Rights too and very good Attorneys too, paid right now by Insurance of Penn State under dispute.
There is no problem for such delays keeping in mind how long Victim Voices were ignored, then alleged covered-up, sealed, then unsealed, Sloppy Slow Investigation with Grand Jury Illegal Leaks, PAOAG Elections, Judicial Scandals & Elections, Counts and Charges dropped, New AG that discovered erased Email & Porno, Convicted of her own Grand Jury Leaks, the first Judge be removed due to a Brain Tumor, and Appeal Decisions now before Higher Courts.
Finally, Judges, Juries, and Lawyers will deal with the remaining Criminal & Civil Lawsuits, and Sandusky Post Conviction Relief Appeal and like someone told me a long time ago, get into the Judicial process, get ready for a long drawn haul of delays, decisions, and yearly not monthly outcomes. I can wait for many people put their time in this process and let the Trials & Lawsuits play out?
In the meantime, Penn State University put in the Penn State University Policies 2012 Reforms and Penn State Football Errors Past can move on without impact by Sanctions on Penn State University anymore.
Pitt & Penn State have a Game in 24 Days at High Noon. I am glad, I no want to excuses anymore, just post, talk, and watch some Football again on a historic series that should not have ended if the place, by a coach above his own University Employer with a Lack of Institutional Control over him, but the Victim's Voices have prevailed with far more Honor than his Selfish Winning that Shamed his own Name.
