A YouTube channel called WorldSportsDocu has just released a 30-minute documentary on the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State. It’s called “The Dark Side of Penn State.”
As you begin watching, you may think it is just another regurgitation of the biased and scandalized media accounts that have populated the mainstream airwaves and promoted Sandusky’s guilt, but halfway through the video, the filmmaker – who is also presumably the narrator – departs from the mainstream narrative and hones in on a few important and damning facts about the accusers.
The mini-documentary created by WorldSportsDocu is called “The Dark Side of Penn State”
FR readers will already be familiar with most of the information that’s presented in the film, but it does a commendable job telling the story visually and selecting notable facts that inspire doubt in anyone who hasn’t studied what actually happened.
Most of the evidence presented in the second half appears to be taken from John Ziegler’s website, framingjoepaterno.com, and his podcast, With the Benefit of Hindsight.
Interview with Victim #1 Aaron Fisher’s neighbor, who says he’s 100% certain that Fisher is lying about his abuse
Quotes from others who know Aaron Fisher
Beyond challenging Aaron Fisher’s credibility as an individual and alleged victim, the narrator points out the impossibility Fisher’s story considering he claimed to be at Jerry’s every weekend… with no other kids. Strangely, however, Victim #9, Sabastian Paden, also claimed to be at Jerry’s house every weekend during the same time period, yet they never met.
Narrator: “After staying there for three years, [Fisher] should have at least one friend. He does have one friend, or should have had, because there is this one other boy who stayed at the same place where Aaron stayed in Jerry Sandusky’s house, more specifically, in the same basement, same bedroom and on the same bed. Aaron previously stated he stayed at Sandusky’s house every weekend, from 2005 to 2008 and the other boy, he said the exact same thing.”
The film also delves into Mike McQueary’s role, his changing timeline, and the many holes in his “shower boy” story, not the least of which is the shower boy himself denying the claims outright.
Excerpts from “shower boy,” Allan Myers’ statement to Joe Amendola, Sandusky’s attorney, before trial:
Narrator: “If we were to take it as truth, then Mike McQueary put an innocent man and legendary coach into prison. According to this next excerpt, upon the advice of his father and Dr. Dranov, Mike McQueary eventually took his concerns to legendary head coach, Joe Paterno at his home. Apparently, because Mike McQueary did not actually witness anything sexual, they did not suggest he contact the police, nor did they feel called upon to do so. Again, if that excerpt is true, then maybe the students were right to be upset. A beloved legend that belonged to their school was thrown to prison, left to die. These two men [Fisher and McQueary], as John Ziegler had said, were the pillars of convicting Jerry Sandusky, as they were the major events that brought this case to light.”
The narrator concludes the film by saying: “This story is one for the ages, but we’ll never know what truly happened. This video aims to present both sides, but the third side, that’s a mystery.”
But is it really a mystery? Between the work of Mark Pendergrast, John Ziegler, the late Frederick Crews, Ralph Cipriano, John Snedden, the Frank Report, and others, there is more than enough documentary evidence to prove Sandusky’s innocence.
Yesterday, a commenter on the video (@larryboyer8796) said:
Good summary- it’s the cliff notes of some of the issues with the case. To cover everything would take hours but once all of that is known, this case isn’t tough to figure out at all.
To which the creator (@WorldSportsDocu) responded:
Thank you for watching, there’s is definitely a lot to unpack. Possibly worth making this into a whole series. Appreciate your input.
The FR encourages @WorldSportsDocu to continue his investigation and encourages everyone to share the truth about Sandusky far and wide.
In the future, there will be studies and courses in law schools and ethics classes around the world about Jerry Sandusky and his wrongful conviction.
