Paterno Family to conduct their own probe

Lawyers for the family of Joe Paterno say they will do their own investigation of the late Penn State football coach's involvement with the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case, reiterating that they disagree with a report that concluded Paterno and others withheld information that could have prevented further abuse.

In a statement emailed to NBC News, the family said it was "dismayed" by parts of the report released last week by Louis Freeh, the former FBI director who conducted an investigation for the university in the Sandusky scandal.

The Freeh report concluded that Paterno and other university leaders "repeatedly concealed critical facts" relating to assistant coach Sandusky’s child sex abuse from authorities.

Paterno's family say they will not be issuing any further comment until they have done their own review.
