They were reporting this on NBC Nightly news also
It is based on an e-mail that McQueary sent to his friends, and which was obtained by NBC.

Whoa...
Why is his attorney not stopping this?

Is there a good reason his lawyers would allow this to happen, given the nature of what he is accused of doing?

Absolutely
Sandusky is setting up a future Ineffective Assistance of Counsel appeal. After all, there is no better way of showing that I HAVE A TERRIBLE LAWYER than a primetime interview.
Thanks
When I first read this, my initial reaction was, "Because an interview with Bob Costas would be the first thing that would come to one's mind when faced with child sexual abuse charges...."

A lawyer who in his 40s
A lawyer who in his 40s impregnated a 16 year old while serving as her lawyer.
He also says that they're going to have kids, including the McQueary one, say it never happened. Which is pretty laughable. However, he says "We think we found him". So he's announcing on public television that "he thinks" he has a case to defend Sandusky.

I'm not taking any side here
I'm not taking any side here at all, just posing a hypathetical question:
If Sandusky goes to trial and a jury finds him not guilty. What happens next? I'm not saying this will happen, merely looking at the situation from all angles. How does the University respond to such a verdict? How does Joe Pa respond?
Disclaimer: by no means do I side with Sandusky or think he's innocent. I'm merely opening up a topic for debate.
Remember Who You Are!
He has pretty much admitted
He has pretty much admitted his guilt, but if he was somehow found innocent? Hide. Quickly.
As for PSU & JoPa, the damage has been done. I doubt they will mention it ever again, even if he is found innocent.
COYS and lets go Detroit FC!
Yeah I mean stranger things
Yeah I mean stranger things have happened I suppose. Today they said the judge that set his bail had volunteered for 2nd Mile at one point and I believe she's taking some heat for not disclosing that information prior to taking the case. It just makes me wonder how political this will get before its all said and done.
Remember Who You Are!
legally....
Lawyer here. Be clear: "Innocent" of criminal charges does NOT mean "it never happened." It means, "prosecution didn't prove the crime beyond a reasonable doubt."
I was taught that proof at trial is like a scorecard. Let's say all the evidence at trial must add up to 100 points. "Beyond a reasonable doubt" means the prosecution has to have at least, like, 92 points, defense no more than 8.
Whereas, in civil liability, the plaintiff v. defendant is decided on "preponderance of the evidence" -- the one side with 51 or more points wins.
So, maybe the evidence says Sandusky did it, 80 to 20. Not guilty, in that case. But, we can't say "oh so he didn't do it." Because by 80 to 20, we'd say he did.
CASE IN POINT: OJ. He was not guilty of criminal charges. But a civil jury found him liable for wrongful death, i.e., he caused the deaths. How is taht consistent? B/c the criminal jury found "reasonable doubt," however, the civil jury still found the "preponderance of the evidence" that he did it.
So essentially he's going to
So essentially he's going to be in deep shit no matter what. They're just going to figure how just how deep the shit is?
Remember Who You Are!
One other point, is that at
One other point, is that at the civil trial you don't have the option of not testifying. Being examined, cross or direct by a good trial lawyer can be like a day in hell. Plus you also have the additional charge of dealing with perjury should you lie and the boys and girls on the criminal side of the bench go after you again.
The O.J. thing
The O.J. thing was quite different. There was no reasonable doubt; that was a classic case of jury nullification. That is unlikely to happen in this case.
I'm sure if he's found not guilty
Sandusky will search for the guy who REALLY molested those boys on every golf course in Pennsylvania.
"I love him, he's a great coach, he's a great mentor, he's a great friend. He's every single thing you want a college coach to be, and he does it flawlessly." -David Molk
My guess
There's a big difference between "innocent" and "not guilty." So, even if Sandusky somehow wriggles out of this, people will still assume he did it (see: Jackson, Michael).
And even if he does, there's probably a big-ass civil suit in his future.
Confused
It doesn't say when the interview took place. Is this current or old footage from previous allegations?
why...
is this freak show actually getting any television time period? I mean this is kinda no I dont mean kinda this is freaking absurd.
21 years of coaching and every senior who stayed had at least 1 big ten title... That is what " Those who stay will be champions" will really get you Ohio native Bo Schembechler.
This is probably more significant than everything else
But in the end ESPN and the news has sucked any bit of me wanting to actually hear more about this story away. I mean, I couldn't even watch the start of the Michigan game Saturday because they were showing Joe Pa's house. As normal, ESPN blows up everything until everyone is sick of it and then move on to the next thing and do it again.
You couldn't watch the start
You couldn't watch the start of the Michigan game? Was that an out of state thing? Because we got it here.
Go Blue! Always!

It was an out of region thing, everyone who had to watch on espn instead of abc missed the first drive of the game thanks to inexplicable post-game coverage of Joe Pa's house/press conferences. I almost broke things.

Yikes. I would have broken
Yikes. I would have broken things too. Especially since we scored on that first drive.

Yeah, pretty much.
There were about 150 Michigan Alumni at the game at this one bar in DC, and the grumblings started about 3:45. Several minutes later, as people noticed on their cell phones that Michigan was already up 7-0, people were yelling at the bewildered staff. After about the first 6-7 minutes of gametime were up, they managed to put on a silent feed from the ESPN 3 webcast, which mollified people for a few minutes, until people were griping about the sound. It was a total mess.
"You know, for a bartender/bookie, you're pretty judgmental."
This happened to us in
This happened to us in Boulder. Luckily the bar had wifi and we had an app to watch ESPN on the phone. Good backup option for the future. Someone at the WWL should be fired over that one.
ABC coverage in Ohio
covered the thrilling end of the WVU-Cincinnatti game. I was listening to the game on the radio because all my streams were Joepa drivel.
Abort, Retry, Fail?
I was somewhat nonplussed...
as to why ESPN was showing mail delivery time at JoePa's house instead of an actual live football game.
I'm so happy
someone else felt my frustration. I was on Skype with some friends in Michigan and they were perplexed that I was forced to watch the post-game presser for PSU and happily informed me that I was missing Toussaint rumbling for some sort of 80 yard run.

Does anyone know if I can hear/watch the interview streaming online? This student needs to get work done, but is very interested in what that dirtbag has to say for himself.
Not live
But I'm sure it'll be on NBC.com later.
maybe sandusky's legal counsel
Is from the same firm that allowed harvey updike to call paul finebaums show at least 3 times from when he admitted he poisoned the toomer corner trees.
"So I come out of Ohio Stadium after we beat the Buckeyes, and right there on the hood of my friend's car, some one took a dump, in the shape of an 'O'. no shit. Oh, sorry, bad pun."
I think we have a candidate for tasteless TV interview
of the year. Although I can understand NBC's desire to boost their ratings, giving this disgusting excuse for a human being the chance to con people into believing he's innocent is wrong. Unless of course Sandusky comes clean on national TV which I strongly doubt he'll do. The only thing that would make this worthwhile is if Costas throws off the journalistic gloves and grills Sandusky mercilessly until he becomes a whimpering blob.
But, I really, really don't understand why Sandusky's lawyer is letting him do this. Maybe he strongly advised against it and the moron is going ahead with it anyway. He must really feel like he has nothing to lose I guess.
"You owe it to every man, woman, and child in the State of Michigan to beat the Buckeyes and silence their fans! Now go out there and make it happen!"

Mike McQueary maintains that he did not just run away, instead claims he stopped Sandusky from raping the child before fleeing the scene.
