She was just arrested for lying to cops in the Nassar case.  Max is 4 years prison.

I just don't get it.  I don't condone, but understand someone lying about money they have laundered and stolen.  I understand about lying to cover your own rear end about behavior you have committed.  I don't understand why you would lie to protect a child molester doctor.  What does lying do to protect you?  Why lie to cover up for him?  What a wicked web we weave....

DENIAL, GUILT and SHAME for LOOKING THE OTHER WAY

I had 8.5 hours of depositions today of former school board members who were in power when a coach abused three middle school aged boys, now men (two of which are my clients), over a many years.  

Their lack of remorse and inability to take responsibility would make most criminal defendants blush.  

For nearly three decades I’ve been a lawyer, and irrespective of the many challenging cases and clients I’ve had over the years — often in some horribly gruesome cases — by far the most accountability resistant people I’ve encountered are people who look the other way when there are HUGE RED FLAGS, BANNERS and CREDIBLE ALLEGATIONS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE. 

Something about the cognitive dissonance created when an adult failed to follow their fundamental, anthropological mandate to protect a child, and are now confronted with the truth.  They, like JoePa, deny to the last day that they knew or should’ve seen the warning signs.  The rationalizations, justifications, and excuses are sickening.  

The abusers live in the fourth circle of hell, but the enablers, those who knew better but looked away and denied, they in eternity will reside in the fifth circle.

Tim Izzi is on the horn right now with his financial advisor to help pitch in. He said he's doing it for all the "survivors" and will be wearing a teal ribbon to boot. In other news, it's been a tough year for Tim.

They didn't let her turn herself in?  That's cold.  But not as cold as if they had arrested her tomorrow at the end of the day.

What exactly are they alleging she did?  This confuses me, but I'm not very smart. 

"Simon told State Police investigators that she was aware that in 2014 an MSU sports medicine doctor was the subject of a Title IX investigation. The AG's Office says in the court documents that Simon knew that Nassar was the subject of that 2014 investigation."

I'm confused by that as well.  Wondering if it's a typo perhaps?  At the end they have a quote from her public statement saying she had no knowledge prior to 2016.  But as your quote says she actually knew in 2014.   I'm wondering if that's the discrepancy she had with her official story.

 

Had she done something in 2014, my family members would not have been victims.  Fuck Lou Anna Simon, Kathy Klages, and all who covered this up.
