Which is of course why the A9 and Paterno family wants all proceedings sealed and PSU and the NCAA have opted for total openness...... Oops--that's not quite the way it is, is it?
That is exactly how it is.
- The A9 were fighting for both access and openness. They were offered access, and caved on openness. This, of course, satisfied their own curiosity but is a FAIL on openness.
- The Paterno's got depositions from a slew of parties. They could have pressed the point in a trial. But, their own curiosity satisfied, they caved. FAIL on openness.
