Sam Stellatella, a three-position player in the 1950s for Penn State, is trying to raise funds for Jerry Sandusky's legal defense.

Stellatella has donated money and has urged other former players to do the same.

"I told him he's going to need a million dollars to defend himself," the 73-year-old Stellatella told the Associated Press. "He called me back and said, `What am I going to do with this money?' I said, `Use it for your lawyer because you're going to need it.'"

But, then again, half the country thought OJ was innocent.

Stellatella:

***He’s done horrendous damage to Paterno and (athletic director Tim) Curley and the football program. I don’t listen to the news and I don’t read the reports of what he did because I would get too upset.***

Huh????????????????

Brain damaged!

[Dallas59]

According to Rush...$250 million in lawsuits from the victims.....Yeah, lets defend this guy...

[Psycho_Bunny]

“But he’s still entitled to his day in court.”

Yes but, why you’d fund it is a little confusing.

[Farmer Dean]

I think Jerry will kill himself before he goes to trial.

Former Penn State receiver and running back Rich Mauti organized what he hopes will be one of the largest gatherings of former Nittany Lions players to stand on the sideline ever, in an effort to show support for their embattled program.

Mauti sent emails to more than 800 former Nittany Lions and asked them to attend 12th-ranked Penn State's home finale against No. 19 Nebraska on Saturday. He wants players who took pride in wearing the school's classic blue-and-white uniforms, and fondly represented their university years after they played their final down, to return their thanks to a program -- not just former coach Joe Paterno -- that gave them so much.

By midweek, Mauti said about 75 players had agreed to attend.

I don’t know, he seems really brazen.

[Third Person]

Or Jerry will be killed before the trial.

[JudyinCanada]

I thought the same thing. I also wondered where the heck he is while out on bail. Does this guy have a wife? Family? I can’t imagine “standing by your man” under these circumstances.

[KarlInOhio]

He's done horrendous damage to Paterno and (athletic director Tim) Curley and the football program.

And an untold number of children... but mostly the football program.

“Or Jerry will be killed before the trial.”

That was my thought.

[SoKatt]

Revolting. This cowardly excuse for a “man” walked in on a child being raped and did NOTHING. I don’t see how anybody could defend him.

[Farmer Dean]

I thought about that too.The Gay Mafia will not like being exposed.

[CASchack]

Sounds as if PSU had its own NAMBLA chapter.

[Mathews]

Birds of a feather...?

[Travis McGee]

Circling the wagons around a top-level Soddomite rapist.

[KantianBurke]

SICK SICK SICK!

[sodpoodle]

He thinks his $100 is an investment?

73 year-old co-conspirator or loose brain cells?

[Mountain Bike Vomit Carnage]

Knock yourselves out, fundraising fools.

But, then again, half the country thought OJ was innocent.

And the other half watches (probably only a fraction of the other half watching only a fraction of the time) an absurdly prosecuted case featuring broken chains of custody (the detective carrying around vials of OJ's blood all day and into OJ's house), planted evidence (the blood on the socks and the back gate complete with anti-coagulant following the above detective's visit), the first responding detective having just left the scene of the crime, where he was alone, then immediately entering OJ's property alone without cause and "discovering," way behind a guest house, all by himself, a bloody glove, a glove that didn't fit, no witnesses, no unambiguous physical evidence, and think he must be guilty.
