Paterno is innocent until proven guilty
in a court of law.
We aren't talking what's legally right surrounding his departure in particular.
He's not being charged at present
He's not going to go to prison at present
All the man did was lose his job for being too apathetic. In a lot of cases you don't need evidence of anything to fire somebody. It's not any type of legal proceeding. There was rumors of sexual assault in his locker room and all he did was contact his superiors (according to the court documents). It's not like it was a rumor of some guy stealing copy paper or q-tips from the trainer's office. It was rape. Of a child.
He made a bad judgement call and got fired for it. That happens every day. Why should he be special?
