Agreed. Unless there was some statue of limitations absolving him, I think he would on trial right now as well. I'm not sure what would actually stick, and what wouldn't, but this isn't a court room, and I'm more of a Law "enthusiast" than an expert on all things legal.

As for the statue's fate, I was more so trying to spark some thought and conversation on the decision to come, it's acceptance, consequences, and motivating factors. I, personally, don't have a dog in the fight, but if you're asking my take, then I can try to explain in a few sentences:

In short, I think it should stay on campus. I'm on the fence as to if it should remain outside the stadium, or be moved over to the library he put up on campus. I know that over his career, he did a lot for that campus, and that shouldn't be forgotten. The dark spot of his career is the mid/late 90s, when he and the others swept Sandusky under the rug shouldn't be forgotten either. But I don't think that should define Paterno's entire legacy. Whether it will or not, will yet to be seen, but my money is on the former. This sentiment may not be popular but, in a nutshell, there is more to that book than this one chapter, and I would hate to see this become the title.
