Court ruling in favor of Jerry Sandusky

Certain retirement accounts and pensions are exempt from garnishment, at least in Michgan. If the funds are not comingled they would not be able to be touched. 

Exactly, this is not a completely bad thing, it allows for more damages to be paid out to his victims. The only worry would be limitations on garnishment to pay damages, I have no idea what they would be. 

does castration cost?

But I hope that those people hire good attorneys, file a restraining order to cease any payments and then litigate the hell out of this.............$58,000 a year doesn't go very far in defending litigation of this magnitude.

This guy is the ultimate fucking evil dick.

I think it more has to do with how Penn. St. fans have gone to the mat to defend Paterno when it seems very likely he, at the very least, employed a see no evil approach to the Sandusky thing.  Makes the whole place seem kind of scuzzy.

All that said, I agree that people seem to want continued wearing of hair shirts and rending of garments when it might be best to let everyone move on.

Speaking only for myself, although many others likely agree, I do blame Penn State in large part for the rape of many children over time.  The problem is that, at high levels, the administration turned a blind eye to what had happened with Sandusky.  And when they forced Sandusky out, the school left him the keys to the freakin' lockeroom!  It was - in many ways - like when OSU's president Gee said that "Tressell might fire me" which isn't funny.  It tells you that your priorities are fucked up.

Further PSU hate comes from the fact that many of their trustees and other folks are trying to whitewash the Sandusky scandal, rather than own it, all in the name of propping up the legend of Joe Paterno.  To the extent that this goes on, my attitude is that Penn State can FOAD.

For all of that, I feel bad for PSU students, athletes, faculty, and fans who are mortified by what went on at their school.  If they aren't apologists, I not only don't despise them, but I feel they are victims too (on a vastly lesser scale).

Paterno and PSU administrators covered up Sandusky's actviites when they MUST have known full well about them.  The people who covered up the scandal seemed to be be concerned with the damage it could do to Penn State and the football program than they were with the damage done to the children.  

In fact, their loyalty to the football program and Sandusky enabled Sandusky to continue perpetrating his crimes against children.  An irrationally large and vocal percentage of the fanbase cannot or will not face that fact.

When you can turn a blind eye to Sandusky and feel he was "punished enough" by not being able to become the head coach to ensure he did not futher stain the program and the institution, you are doing the very thing you sought to prevent.  

The university, the entire fan base, the people of Pennsylvania (who ultimately run the public school) may not have been directly responsible, but it happened on their watch, and they are going to have to shoulder that stain for a while, a good long while, and perhaps they should.  No football program was, or is, worth that bullshit.  

I do not feel their fans should not root for them, or have pride in their unversity and the good things it did, and still does, but those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, and I as a fan would want to ensure everybody associated with my program fully understood that many things in life are more important than football, and that the safety of children is at or near the top of that list.  

When outsiders sense the PSU community represents that, the stain will dissapate.  Until then, it is difficult not to portray the place with a broad brush.  

He was convicted of crimes dating before his retirement.  The problem is the law was changed in PA to take away state pensions from pedophiles in 2005 and Sandusky was already retired then.

The 26 victims who got payments from Penn State agreed not to sue anybody (that includes Paterno, Sandusky, Spanier, Schultz and Curley among others) as a condition of receiving the settlement.

There are 1 or 2 victims who have not signed or received money from Penn State.  They could sue Sandusky, but that wouldn't approach a large and just compensation that Penn State could provide.  So I think Sandusky won't be sued.
