Earlier today, the Penn State Board of Trustees issued a statement explaining their decision to fire Joe Paterno and Graham Spanier back in November. Shortly after, the Paterno family fired back with an unambiguous statement criticizing the Board's descision and respond.

A pre-trial hearing for the Jerry Sandusky case was held Monday morning in Bellefonte to discuss the defense's request for a more specific Bill of Particulars.

The Penn State Board of Trustees issued a statement using the mass Penn State listerv and the new Penn State Openness website regarding their decisions to fire former President Graham Spanier and former football coach Joe Paterno. The statement can be found in its entirety below:

If you're like me, you're also an alien to the sport of twirling. Yes, it's a sport, people. I saw it with my own two eyes yesterday at the Blue Sapphire Classic at Rec Hall.. After a few minutes wondering if I'd stumbled into an episode of Toddlers & Tiaras, what I found was a whole lot of talent, energy, and enthusiasm.

A pre-trial hearing has been set for 11 a.m. today in Bellefonte, where Jerry Sandusky's defense team will argue for a more specific Bill of Particulars. Last week, upon the order of Judge John Cleland, the prosecution released a Bill of Particulars that included a list of the identities of the ten alleged victims, as well as the dates, times, and locations where the alleged crimes were committed.
