There's no need to be neutral about Joe Paterno. We have clear-cut evidence that he enabled Sandusky's predatory actions for *decades*. Paterno could've addressed the issue and protected those kids from a known child molester/rapist - but he turned his head the other way and chose to ignore the magnitude of the situation. Sorry - you don't get the "oh we'll be quiet and neutral about this" treatment when you do that. I don't agree with denigrating him viciously now that he's in the grave - but he shouldn't be celebrated, and statues/memorials *certainly* shouldn't be erected in his honor.

As for Rose - the trial should play itself out, but there is significant fact-finding already done. He wanted to run a train on a woman who repeatedly told him she did not want to participate - and there are serious questions about whether she expressly consented to having sex with Rose and his crew the night of the incident. We don't know enough to throw him in jail and brand him a rapist - but we do know enough about his actions towards this woman to form an opinion as it pertains to character assessment.
