This is about as high profile of a case as their could possibly be, leaving the smallest opening could result in massive consequences for the DA.

I know how an investigation works and am well aware that it can take years. It's hard for me to believe that's is purely a coincidence that they just happened to get their ducks in a row the week after Paterno set the record, but you're right that I'm not giving them the same benefit of the doubt that I'm giving Paterno (and you're not giving Paterno the same benefit of the doubt that you're giving the DA). I guess that's wrong of us, but we're not costing anyone their job or their reputation. We're just idiots on a message board so we can blame whoever we want based on our snap judgments and preexisting biases. We should be able to expect a more measured response from reporters, but sadly, we can't.
