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?

i meant Paterno probably gave the guy the benefit of the doubt when he heard the report. he turned him in and the investigation turned up nothing.
