Penn State Scandal: Mike McQueary's Changing Story Destroys Credibility

The Penn State scandal could be much deeper than anyone initially anticipated, and former graduate assistant Mike McQueary may be making the case even more convoluted.

After the grand jury indictment was released to the public, there was an outcry questioning why a then 28-year-old McQueary didn’t immediately intervene when allegedly he saw Jerry Sandusky raping a child.

While the indictment explained clearly what the prosecutors believe happened that day, it's McQueary’s need to defend himself that could sink the Sandusky case.

McQueary said in an email obtained by the Allentown Morning Call:

"

In the email obtained by The Morning Call, McQueary wrote that he "did have discussions with police and with the official at the university in charge of police" following the alleged incident involving Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant coach, and a boy. McQueary also wrote that he "is getting hammered for handling this the right way or what I thought at the time was right. I had to make tough impacting quick decisions," McQueary wrote.

"

The last thing the prosecution wants to see at this point is one of their key witnesses, especially one of the only people who may have ever seen the activities happening as a third party, clouding the water with stories to cover his own tail.

Former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky is a monster if all of these allegations are true, but the court has to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he committed these crimes and McQueary may have undermined all of that work.

If McQueary wants to clear the air and protect his name, he needs to be completely honest to the grand jury.

Otherwise Jerry Sandusky may have a chance to be found innocent of these brutal crimes.
