Verdict Reached in Sandusky Trial; Will be Released Momentarily
Pundit Press ^ | 6/22/12 | Aurelius

Posted on 06/22/2012 6:33:05 PM PDT by therightliveswithus

The jury in the Jerry Sandusky child molestation case has reached a verdict. The media has received a twenty-minute verdict notification, which means that the result will be announced in twenty minutes.

Jerry Sandusky is a former Assistant Coach for Penn State 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 faces 48 counts against him and up to 400 years in prison. Most legal analysts have predicted that he will be found guilty on most, if not all, charges.

Several minutes before the verdict was reached, the jury asked for clarification on testimony that a janitor gave. The janitor stated that he heard that a fellow employee had witnessed Sandusky had raped a child. This, however, is hearsay because he did not witness it himself. The jury was certain how to apply this to their deliberation.

Amendola throwing Matt Sandusky under the bus. Matt was going to testify about his history with Jerry Sandusky. Scummy Amendola said “he was always disturbed.”

I liked that even the little old ladies booed and heckled Amendola. Well done fellow PA moms!!!

Prosecutors being cheered!

That was the weirdest press conference by a defense attorney after losing a trial I have ever seen!

He praised the jury’s 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?

One pederast down and several million other NAMBLA predators to go.

Where else do you think the “gay community” comes from besides these filthy whackjob “chicken hawks”?

In addition, when somebody asked him what his client told him and what he told his client when they learned that son Matt was going south on them, he didn't hesitate for a second to reveal all the details about their privileged conversations.

She was reading prepared text. She told her staff to write 2 speeches, one for guilty and one for not-guilty. Pathetic.

Actually Salvation is correct.

We can judge peoples actions and even punish them but we cannot consign them to hell. The final disposition of their soul is God's job.

TSgt, that's a hideous statement to say about a fellow Freeper.

While I can't speak for Salvation, from Salvation's posts here on Free Republic, it's easy for me to assume that Salvation was referring to my Savior Jesus Christ's Promise of Redemption for His followers, for those who asked Him to Forgive them their sins, for those who accepted His Grace.

Yes, if Sandusky asks for forgivesness, repents, whatever you want to call it — we cannot be the judge. God alone is the judge.

On earth Christ is perfect mercy.

At the moment of our death Christ is perfect justice.

Agree, it sure does sounds like the defense attorney took a dive. Poor counsel from a defense attorney could very well be cause for a mistrial and possible dismissal at some point in the future and all leading to an eventual re-trial. Ugh.
