ok, who wants to defend Mcqueary now [View all]

From today's testimony:

"McQueary said he saw Sandusky was behind a boy he estimated to be 10 or 12 years old, with his hands wrapped around the boy’s waist. He said the boy was facing a wall, with his hands on it.

He said he peeked into the shower several times and that the last time he looked in, Sandusky and the boy had separated. He said he didn’t say anything, but “I know they saw me. They looked directly in my eye, both of them.”

Now, I'm not the best in crisis situations, but my feeling is that this is not how someone in shock reacts. Someone conflicted, maybe, but that is no defense for not doing a damn thing to stop the abuse!! Some people are just missing a vital part of their soul.
