He is the key witness for the prosecution. People who testify against their higher ups often are not prosecuted.

I don't know that answer, but would point out a few tidbits from the perspective of an attorney. Several articles mention that the failure of a University to report possible child abuse (and that is putting it way too gently) is a Federal offense. The Feds have a whistleblower statute to protect the job of the person who turns in the offender. No one has mentioned who finally brought this matter to the attention of the authorities after all of these years. The PSU Trustees have not only affirmed that McQueary will neither be fired nor demoted, they have also taken affirmative steps to protect him. If I had to speculate, I would go with the theory that McQueary's conscience finally got to him, he reported the events to the authorities, and that he is protected under a state or Federal whistle-blower statute. -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- Helen Huntley (727) 823-3801 www.helenhuntley.com -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
