We previously mentioned that Sue Paterno is finally speaking up in defense of her late husband Joe Paterno.

Now that her family's own personal investigation into the whole Sandusky scandal is complete, she feels that she can confidently say her husband did the right thing.

The original report, the Freeh report, painted Paterno as a bad guy, who cared nothing about the child victims of Sandusky.

Sue went onto Katie to explain how the report reflected a man who she did not know.

She claims that his life was built on honesty and integrity. Doing things the right way.

It must be so hard to hear your husbands name dragged through the mud, so soon after losing him.

Check out the video (above) to hear Sue telling Katie in her own words about her own report into what had happened.

Almost a full year after the Penn State scandal and Joe Paterno's death, his widow Sue Paterno is finally speaking up!

She spoke up to defend her husband, who's legacy as the winningest coach in football history was tarnished due to his failure to act when news of Jerry Sandusky's sex abuse reached him.

We previously mentioned that the Paterno family was launching their own investigation into Joe's action back when things first were brought to his attention.

Pennsylvania's Auditor General Jack Wagner has called for serious changes at Penn State.

And no, we didn't just make up the term auditor general.

Wagner has asked PA's governor, Tom Corbett, and state lawmakers to demand Penn State's "antiquated" power structure be reorganized.

He said that the power at Penn State was cut-off from outside eyes and in the hands of too few people.

Wagner believes that the conspiracy of silence surrounding the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse case would have been uncovered sooner if the distribution of power was different.
