Jerry Sandusky, murderer?

Jerry S. murdered the childhood of several young men. He also murdered the career of Joe Paterno, and several other employees of PSU. Now, in the wake of JoePa's death from cancer over this past weekend, it appears Jerry might have helped to murder Joe Paterno. The pain, shame, and sadness Joe P. experienced from being fired over what JS did certainly made his chances of surviving an already extremely dangerous illness even smaller. The resulting media frenzy made it worse. This is one of the side effects of childhood sexual abuse, that go beyond the damage to the survivor. Lots of collateral damage occurs, to witnesses, society, and people connected to the event. No surpise though, that it has such insidious and long reaching effects, given the horrible nature of the crime.
regrettingly,
Michael

p.s. On another more positive note, I've had two interviews, and a phone call, in my job search for drafting. Hope it breaks wide to the positive, soon.
