On the day he was fired, former Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno allegedly told Mike McQueary that university officials improperly handled the allegations about convicted serial child sex-abuser Jerry Sandusky and that the university would try to scapegoat him, McQueary testified Monday morning.

McQueary, a former football player and coach at Penn State, and a key witness in the prosecution of three former administrators charged in the Sandusky sex-abuse scandal, told one of the administrator's attorneys that Paterno also told him not to trust the university's former general counsel, Cynthia Baldwin.
