I could be wrong, but my take on Jay's comments about "innocent until proven guilty" are that he was making reference to sandusky, not paterno. I read his comments as him saying that, at the time, there was no proof that sandusky had been raping young boys, and there had even been a police investigation into prior allegations against sandusky that resulted in no charges being filed against him, so paterno likely didn't think it was actually happening, or at least not to the extent that the details in the grand jury report say that it is. Thinking in this mindset, merely reporting the info to his superiors and washing his hands of the entire matter doesn't seem so bad.
At least that's how I interpret what Jay was trying to say.
