1. Corbett waited until there were at least 10 victims before making an arrest...

"No one has suggested that Sandusky should have been arrested before evidence was gathered. Common sense dictated that at least two or three solid cases be assembled before an arrest was made, and numerous prosecutors with no ax to grind have stated that strategy would have been a viable one."

"But, as has been stated in the media, Corbett waited to have at least 10 cases before making an arrest, which just boggles the mind."

"Once several victims were identified and an arrest was made, with the spotlight on Sandusky, more witnesses would have come forward. More importantly, Sandusky would have been closely watched and children would have been safe. But that didn’t happen."

"Instead, a predator was given three more years to victimize his prey."

This is from the article linked to in the OP.

Well, there's nothing like having a pedophile enabler for a Governor. Words are not sufficient to describe how deplorable this man's actions and inactions are...and they continue on and on.
