Felony Friday Ep. 014 - Could Jerry Sandusky Be Innocent? A 2nd Interview with John Ziegler
Today we welcomed John Ziegler back on Felony Friday for a followup interview on the Jerry Sandusky scandal. John was a guest on the 8th episode of Felony Friday. That episode received such a strong reaction and I received so many questions, that it made sense to invite John back on the show to answer the questions and dig deeper into some areas of the case that have been completely ignored by the mainstream media. For those who aren't familiar with John Ziegler's work, he is a nationally-syndicated radio host, documentary filmmaker and author. John is also the creator of the website The Framing of Joe Paterno, which is where he houses all of his research, interviews and videos dedicated to analyzing the evidence that the mainstream media created a false narrative in the Jerry Sandusky story.
What we talked about:
- John Ziegler discusses the allegation from 1998, from an 11-year old boy later to be known as "Victim 6," that Sandusky picked him up in a shower and gave him a bear hug from behind. More than a decade later "Victim 6" testified that he did not perceive the episode as sexual. The authorities declared the allegation "unfounded" at the time and no charges were filed. John Ziegler shares the reasons why he believes nothing nefarious happened during the 1998 incident and cites his hour long prison conversation with Jerry Sandusky as evidence.
- What were Sara Ganim's, David Jones' and Scott Paterno's roles in aiding and abetting the creation of the media firestorm that led to the firing of Joe Paterno and the Salem Witch Trial environment leading up to the Jerry Sandusky trial? John Ziegler shares the importance of a very angry phone call he received from Scott Paterno after interviewing Sandusky in prison.
- Mr. Ziegler discusses Sandusky's odd interview with Bob Costas. John speculates why Sandusky's lawyer allowed him to be interviewed and why it was during this interview that he thought for the first time that Jerry Sandusky could be innocent.
- Out of all the victims John Ziegler says he is most positive that Matt Sandusky is lying. He references a Matt Sandusky interview with Oprah as evidence of his deception. Check out John's video critiquing the Oprah interview as well.
