Jerry Sandusky, the former Assistant Coach for Penn State, was found guilty today of molesting children. The high-profile began last year when almost a dozen people came out, revealing that Sandusky has molested them, which then resulted in the firing of Penn State Head Coach Joe Paterno.
Sandusky was found guilty of at least some of the almost 50 that were levied against him. The jurors deliberated for two days, starting yesterday.

Sandusky's stepson also stated yesterday that his father had abused him. However, jurors were not aware of this as they were sequestered.
Sandusky faces up to 400 years in prison.
The best and most salient point of the whole day!!!
This should be a cautionary tale as to what that sort of activity brings.
What an utter shock...yuk yuk.
He’s facing “prison justice,” a thing far more horrific than anything the legal system can formally do. For the rest of his life he will be in perpetual terror, waiting for the shank that will inevitably end up in his innards, unless he chooses to spend the rest of his life in 24/7 solitary. Unless he absolutely believed in God and Hell, he should have hanged himself or eaten a gun. Now he’s sure of pure Hell for the rest of his life on earth and, possibly, for the rest of all time. Many people in this kind of a spot would bet on there being no after life and done what Hitler, Himmler, Goebels, and Goering did and commit suicide.
Don’t get me wrong PSU fans and alumni, you had a great program, unfortunately the folks in charge there have ruined it.
I think she knew all along.
Supposedly, the wife avoids the issue to deny the idea that she is married to a pedophile and will then face the consequences.
Yes, she is guilty IMO. Her son ... she sacrificed.
Wow. Just wow.
What kind of woman could deny the molestation of children under her own roof, by the very man who swore to "love & cherish" her? A man with whom she had adopted SONS?!?! That is simply sick. SICK. As sick as what he was doing.
I read they took him away in handcuffs having revoked his bail. I was worried about the damage he might yet do also. He’ll never see the outside again except through windows as he is taken for sentencing.
I realize it’s not an option, but from a pure justice standpoint, this case calls out for the death penalty.
Justice would be served by a quick bullet to the brain, after a short but suitable appeals process, giving him time to get right with his maker.
Right on and the time is now! Parents should use case for good and DEMAND they stop promoting this evil/perversion in the schools. And have some of the these victims speak out on the parents behalf. Campaign URGENT!
Just more proof that homosexual faggots have no business in leadership positions.
Sandusky got what all sex perverts deserve. That said, I don’t like tbe PA AG out in front, preening for the cameras and campaigning for the next election.
He is done. This story is just as sick as a story could be. The damage was ongoing while the University turned a blind eye. Whatever money the regents have housed up will be binded and lost. The Lord has stepped in.
I hope he gets raped in prison 45 times.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I hope he gets raped in prison 45 times every day.
There, all OK now.
Wow I’ve never seen anything as unprofessional as Sandusky’s lawyer giving an endless public statement minutes after the verdict, during which he prejudiced his client’s appeal again and again.
Sure S was guilty but imho the lawyer was defending himself to protect his future business.
That was the weirdest press conference by a defense attorney after losing a trial I have ever seen!
He praised the jurys verdict!
He agreed with their verdict!
He said the verdict was fair!
Is this incompetence? OR...
WAS THAT A SET-UP FOR A POOR COUNCIL APPEAL?
DID THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY JUST FALL ON HIS SWORD?
DID THE DEFENSE JUST TAKE A DIVE?
Or be able to adopt!
It reminds me of Bob Uecker’s line in Major League 2: “Taylor must be thinking...I don’t know WHAT the Hell he’s thinking!”
