The Board of Trustees for Penn State chickened out today, declining to hear a letter sent by this writer and 60 other people asking the university trustees to examine evidence of Jerry Sandusky’s innocence.
Since Penn State was primarily responsible for this innocent man being in prison for 12 years, one would think an institute of higher learning would want to hear the evidence of a drastic miscarriage of justice.

But it would cause shock if they even agreed to look at the truth. When is a man’s life worth more than the fundraising goals of Penn State? Especially since enrollment and fund raising are in decline.
The Penn State Trustees met yesterday at Old Main.
In any event, I sent emails to all trustees. One of the trustees, Anthony Lubrano, was reportedly ready to take the floor and see if the board might consider examining the evidence, as if finding out the truth ought to be a university’s goal.
Lubrano should have been heard at the end of the meeting when a call was made for “new business.” Instead, the Chairman, Matthew W. Schuyler was overheard, saying, “Don’t introduce Anthony.”
Schuyler called on someone to make a motion to adjourn so no new business, or for that matter, the old business of the railroading of Jerry Sandusky, was heard.
Board trustee, Mary Lee Schneider, a woman rumored to be terrified that the whispered truth that Sandusky is innocent might come out and hit Penn State where it hurt$, seconded the motion to adjourn so fast that it is believed to have surpassed the speed of sound. Her mouth was seen moving even before the words could be heard—almost as if they had planned in advance.
Schneider, known for anything but transparency (unless she is making a high profile donation, wants to make sure she virtue signals dramatically), is part of a faction on the board, which not only wants to avoid addressing the truth about Sandusky’s innocence, but also actively seeks to keep him muted in prison. Sandusky is 80.
After all, she might reason, the value of one old man’s life is little compared to the importance of her role as trustee elected by the board representing business and industry, a combine not normally interested in matters of justice or truth.
Revisiting Sandusky will be a financial loser, she no doubt calculated.
Anthony Lubrano has examined the evidence of Sandusky’s innocence, something other board members have so far declined to do.
Matt Shuyler, Board Chairman.
Just before the adjournment, the timid Matt Schuyler, looking a little as if he was about to weep, said, under his breath, but loud enough to be heard, “Don’t let Lubrano speak.”
We get it. The exoneration of Sandusky, which will come sooner than anyone realizes, will have an enormous impact on the reputation of Penn State, since they got it wrong twice. They can run, these Penn State Trustees, but they will not be able to hide.
A tidal wave is coming; the evidence is coming out soon. It will hit Penn State like a bolt from the blue, like an avalanche, pacifying none.
The plain fact is the Sandusky accusers lied. Penn State enabled the liars, and Sandusky is innocent. And I’m going to prove it.
The 62 people who have signed the letter to Penn State trustees asking them to investigate Sandusky’s innocence are intelligent and knowledgeable, who put their names out publicly – so different are they in courage than some of the Penn State board.
Now of course, there are good people on the board who care about the truth, and they have been no doubt deceived by the group of trustees that puts money above truth or a man’s life.
Jerry Sandusky with Joe Paterno
I want to help Schneider and Schuyler consider things other than money or her reputation, so I hereby challenge them both to a public debate on the issue of Jerry Sandusky. We can do it live on Jeff Byers radio show, if he is willing, and I believe he would be.
