BREAKING:The Paterno family has instructed their lawyers to form a committee of experts (link is up)
to review the Freeh Report. They vehemently disagree with the conclusions he drew, and they want the experts to review his presentation.
Don't have a link yet. The report is from Don Van Natta who works for ESPN and has been following this since it began. I am looking for a link, and will post one as soon as I find one.
.........
I am beyond outrage and into some other unnamed emotion.
Suffice it to say that they are beyond denial and in their own world. They are going to keep this alive and more dirt will come out when other investigations are through.
They will NEVER accept that he was anything but a saint.

Paternos to conduct own review
Joe Paterno's family has instructed its lawyer to form a "group of experts" to conduct a comprehensive review of the facts and conclusions presented in the Freeh report.
"We are dismayed by, and vehemently disagree with, some of the conclusions and assertions and the process by which they were developed by the Freeh Group," Wick Sollers, the lawyer for the Paterno family, said in a statement Monday. "Mr. Freeh presented his opinions and interpretations as if they were absolute facts. We believe numerous issues in the report, and his commentary, bear further review."
The Paterno family also said it will ask its team of experts and lawyers "to go beyond the report and identify additional information that should be analyzed." A review is also planned on Freeh's presentation of the facts at last Thursday's press conference in Philadelphia, Sollers said. In addition, the Paterno family has asked the Freeh Group to preserve all its records, notes and materials collected during its seven-month investigation of the Jerry Sandusky matter.

"The process of reviewing the report and other relevant information is going to be a complicated and time consuming exercise," Sollers said. "It took the The Freeh Group roughly seven months to conduct more than 400 interviews and review three million documents. We do not expect or intend to duplicate this effort but we are going to be as thorough as reasonably possible. In the meantime, our attorneys have asked that we not make any further comment on this matter until they are ready to provide an update on their progress."
Sollers pledged that the Freeh report will not be "the last word" on the matter, pledging that the family's inquiry will be "as thorough as reasonably possible."

... and or did nothing when made aware of Sandusky's action with children
and that allowed more children to be abused*. The Paterno family would be smart
to let this matter lay because this will not end well for them. Joe said he never
used email but the facts now show very damning emails were sent by Paterno.
* Sandusky took boys with him on bowl trips
