CHICAGO-(EQUAL JUSTICE PARTY)-THE LESSON IS THAT THE PENN STATE TRUSTEE'S COMMITTED THE GREATER CRIME BY OVER RE-ACTING AND DISREGARDING THE DUE PROCESS AND EQUAL PROTECTION RIGHTS OF THE ACCUSED. The critical error committed by the Penn State Trustee's in immediately firing the UniversityPresident, the Athletic Director and Coach Joe Peterno before anyone was even convicted of any crime, evidenced that the Trustee's disregarded the most basic fundamental American principle, the presumption of innocent, which requires the government to prove the guilt of the alleged criminal defendants, Jerry Sandusky, Athletics director Tim Curely and President Graham Spanier and these defendants are relieved of any burden to prove their innocence.
Coach Joe Paterno did nothing wrong according to the Pennsylvania' attorney general. Paterno had met his obligation under state law by reporting the allegations to his boss. The Trustee's had no right to fire Joe Paterno under the circumstances. What ever crime may or may not have been committed by Sandusky and the two Penn State Officials, it pails in comparison to the crime committed by the Trustees of Penn State.
The Penn State Trustee's trashed what is referred to by the Latin expression Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat,the presumption of innocence. Which is the American bed rock principle of U.S. Justice, that everyone is considered innocent until proven guilty. Application of this principle in the U.S. "Is the most important legal right of the accused in a criminal trial. The burden of proof is thus on the Penn State prosecution, which has to collect and present enough compelling evidence to convince the trier of fact, who is restrained and ordered by law to consider only actual evidence and testimony that is legally admissible, and in most cases lawfully obtained, that the accused in this case are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If reasonable doubt remains, the accused are to be acquitted." The Penn State Trustees did not wait for anyone to be tried, they in effect lunched Coach Joe Paterno, Jerry Sandusky, Athletics director Tim Curely and President Graham Spanier and trashed the American principle of he presumption of innocence. It is the Penn State Trustees that are guilty of the biggest crime in this scandal and should all be terminated.
