Naw, man, only some of it is hearsay. Need help understanding the difference? I'm here to help you. I'm hoping to help you.

House Judiciary GOP
@JudiciaryGOP
It’s literally all hearsay evidence. What a joke.


/2 So if a player comes up to you and says "hey coach I went to the team doctor for a bloody nose and he grabbed my genitals instead," that's not hearsay because he's not repeating an out of court statement, it's something that person perceived.

/3 But if people came to you and said "hey coach a bunch of people are complaining that the team doctor is perving on them in the showers and doing gratuitous genital exams," that would be hearsay, because they're talking about other people's statements.

/4 Now, say you were being sued for something -- say, some sort of grotesque dereliction of duty for failing to report or stop the serial sexual abuse of people under your care -- and a witness said "I told coach about it and he said 'I have nothing to do with this.'"

/5 That's not hearsay either, because in that case you're a party opponent and a statement of a party opponent is not hearsay. Just like first-hand witness testimony about what Trump said would be a statement of a party opponent in, say, a prosecution of Trump

1. Not to mention the fact that it's actually eyewitness testimony.

6. When is OSU going to get around to prosecuting this jerkbag ?

11. Why should they,

I don't think the NCAA did anything to them, I could be wrong.

15. You obviously do NOT know what you're talking about.

When Gym Jordan was a coach on the OSU wrestling team, he was told by student wrestlers on the OSU wrestling team that the team MD was sexually-assaulting students in the showers, during exams and masturbating in front of them and did NOTHING about it.

N O T H I N G.

This has NOTHING to do with NCAA. It's about sexual abuse that he turned a blind eye to and there have been DOZENS of witnesses that has gone under OATH and said so.

Please don't post responses to things you don't now about in the first place.

7. Pretty damn easy

To understand no way in hell Gym should have been within a mile of this committee. Which is exactly why McCarthy insisted he be on it, or they would not play in any reindeer games.

INCREDIBLE ass whuppin he just got.
