From the PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE:
It took 33 months to arrest Jerry Sandusky.
State attorney general’s investigators knew since late last year about eyewitness testimony accusing Sandusky of raping a boy, who appeared to be about 10, in a Penn State University locker room shower in 2002. Yet prosecutors, who started their investigation in March 2009, waited until this month to charge the former assistant football coach.
The length of the investigation, most of which Gov. Tom Corbett directed when he was attorney general, has become a debated part of the national scandal that has rocked Penn State and tarnished its image.
“I am very troubled by the delay, as are many pundits,” said William C. Costopoulos, a Lemoyne defense attorney. “The eyewitness account, once reported, should have resulted in immediate arrest.”

EDITOR: All logic suggests that the coverup was for three times the 33 months. During that period, then Attorney General Corbett (elected in 1994) may well have been the ‘Cover Up In Chief.’
Corbett is a totally self-serving, arrogant Governor. He’s like a cat on a hot tin roof right now as his failure as the Attorney General to pursue the offenders at Penn State on behalf of the victims is coming to light. He should be removed from office before he can come up with a way to block the ongoing investigation. If for no other reason than he is also a person who may have been part of this sad, sorry and sordid coverup.
