Jerry Sandusky accused of child molestation (2 Viewers)

[Gachi]

I don't think that getting abused as a child makes you abuse as an adult. That would suggest that childhood sexual abuse changes one's sexual orientation, which I think is completely absurd.

A sex offender is a sex offender, regardless of what the preference is (young boys or young girls). Sandusky is a sick pedo and he's lusted after young boys since he hit puberty.

You can't tell me any different.

I hope to God they lock up this pervert.

The people who witnessed him abusing those kids need to be right next to him.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Guilty!! 45/48

 

[Raider Nation]

Crazy scene.

 

[shadyridr]

yes!

 

[identikit]

Guilty on 45 of 48 counts per New York Times

 

[tri-man 47]

The jury is back with a verdict. Should be announced soon.

I can't in any way imagine it would be a hung jury with this quick of a decision (especially with 48 counts). Looking forward to hearing him declared "guilty." ...and there we have it!

Change sexual orientation?

Works for me. Welcome to prison, Jerry.

Reminds me of the old westerns were people packed a lunch and went to watch the hangin'

 

[HellToupee]

Outstanding verdict

 

[Raider Nation]

Hopefully he has to serve them consecutively.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Now the Civil trials!

 

[HellToupee]

Might as well ruin what could have been his last weekend

 

[identikit]

442 years assuming maximum sentences.

60 years assuming minimum sentences.

 

[Raider Nation]

Time for a title edit.

 

[Man In The Box]

Bye bye, #### head.

Anyone expecting prison justice for Jerry Sandusky is going to be disappointed. Protection is always for sale in the can and Sando has plenty of jack. Plus, he's minimum security/PC all the way. With or without a conviction, he'll die of natural causes.

Why would he get minimum security? He will convicted of raping several people correct?

He's got serious problems no matter where he goes. Minimum security means that more people have a shot at him. Maximum security / solitary means that he's surrouned by more hard-core felons who can gain rep by harming him.Honestly, this is one of those real-life "welcome to hell" moments that we're witnessing. I feel bad for the guy, despite then fact that he's catching every ounce of justice that he has coming his way.

 

[flapgreen]

Wow

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

What's next? Is McQueary, Curley, Spanier, or anyone else facing cover-up charges or is this over now?

 

[Todd Andrews]

Lets exhume Paterno and try him next.

So a Sandusky defense lawyer (not Amendola) just said on CNN that Sandusky "has always been a law-abiding citizen ... except for these charges." Was laying out ground for appeal.

You gotta figure the only way the defense could make people hate Sandusky even more is to appeal and make the victims testify again.

Study: 30% to 60% of pedophiles were abused as children, vs. 4% of non-pedophiles

 

[Good Posting Judge]

One of the charges he was acquitted on was the rape charge that was tied to the McQueary testimony. He was found guilty on other charges that were tied to that particular victim, however.

I'm not a lawyer, but "first time offender" isn't typically grounds for an appeal.Sandusky is ####ed. And rightly so.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Lawyer throwing his client under the bus now.

And its 45 counts. I hope the dissolution is Second Mile is somehow suspended as well. Whatever money is in that charity should be earmarked for victims.

On CNN, Sandusky co-counsel Karl Rominger says judge's decision to allow janitor's hearsay could end up overturning entire case on appeal

 

[tri-man 47]

As an aside, Bellefonte is a beautiful little town set in the Pennsylvania hills. I stayed there several years ago when my son has a volleyball tournament down the road at PSU. I'm sure it drives the locals crazy that this trial, now, becomes their memorable claim to fame.

 

[BeaverCleaver]

His attorney is a moron! He basically says everyone involved during the trial and process were great yet he wants to appeal.

They didnt like that the victim didnt testify i guess. Might be good for psu in the civil trials though.

 

[Mark Davis]

Anyone else find this scene kind of odd outside the courthouse?

 

[Sea Duck]

Can someone tell me what channel the press conference is on? I'm watching CNN but all I see is a rock concert.

I thought this seemed a strange choice in a case with a preponderance of evidence. This is a 74 year old man, if he can run out the clock, gee whiz. He's still held in custody awaiting appeal I hope.

 

[Mark Davis]

This is exactly what I mean. I didn't expect a pep rally. Somehow I expected it to be a solemn factual statement and q&a session.

 

[Mark Davis]

Could anyone hear what the guy was yelling at the Attorney General?

Sounds whacked.That would only affect a few of the charges, I would think.

 

[Quint]

the police need to put this guy on suicide watch. no easy way out for this dirtbag.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Prosecution could #### now. The verdict spoke for itself. Get this chick off the stage.

I could see him being whacked like Dahmer was and nobody would bat an eye

 

[Judge Smails]

Good. Have fun Jer. I picture the Colonel who was getting slapped silly in the cell in Boogie Nights. Good start.

 

[fatness]

A crowd that had gradually gathered outside the courthouse all day, erupted in cheers when they were told the 68-year-old former Penn State legend was convicted on 45 of 48 counts of child sex abuse.

The jury deliberated 9 hours yesterday, re-heard 2 hours of testimony today, and deliberated about 8 more hours today. Glad they paid attention to details and gave it some thought. Glad he got convicted, too.

Very glad that it turned out the way it did.

 

[Smack Tripper]

That's one down, a sad day no matter how you slice things that we reached this, but at least we have justice for those who's innocence was stolen.

Now, you need a Nuremberg at Penn State to set a real example.
