Reporter after the university commissioned an investigation led by former fbi chief lieuy freeh our lives are about children and making them better, not hurting them. Reporter it was a massive fall from grace. He was fired, his statue taken down. Now the family is fighting back, calling the freeh report a rush to injustice. The report claims there is no evidence that joe paterno deliberately covered up known incidents of child molestationly Jerry Sandusky to protect penn state football or for any other reason. Dick thornberg spoke to espn. They state they carried out 430 interviews of individuals. None of those were among the principaled persons involved in these events. Reporter within hours, freeh fired back, calling the report selfserving. Hes standing by the findings that the most powerful people at penn state failed to protect the children against a sexual predator for over a decade. Theres no question that the right thing was done. But the freeh report, for what it is, was a lot of hearsay. There were a lot of interviews with people who said they may have thought they saw something maybe sometime a long time ago. And that was used as a powerful tool to bring down not only joe paterno, but the man behind all the hard to believe something was going on that many years and no one knew to stop it much earlier before it came out publicly.

Reporter what i call the adele fact. You had a lot of stripped down performances. Elton john, singing. Rihanna did a soaring vocal performance. Carrie underwood, just her singing. Adele has done this in the past and its taken the awards by storm. Its not some big dance number, its just about the music. A lot of people wanted to prove that they could sing and they did. Beyonce was there last night, did not perform. And you mentioned rihanna. How was her big performance with sting . Reporter that was probably one of the highlights of the night for sure.
