I predict - Sandusky will never go to trial and never see a jail cell.

I agree.

Watch for Penn and the charity to come up with the funds to settle out of court.

A hefty settlement for victims and castration for Sandusky would settle things for me.

What good is it that he sit in jail? No one will touch him in the sports world. He will probably leave the country.

You don't pay attention to the news right?? Sandusky isn't going for a plea deal. They've been plastering this for a week (seemingly so).

That came out after my post.

Here's the headline today.

"Karl Rominger, Sandusky Lawyer, Claims Accused Penn State Coach Was Teaching Hygiene Habits"

Right. Don't drop the soap.

<smile>

I’m not so sure about that. Its not looking good for him about now. We’ll see.

I agree this has happened the way it should. we will see. To me the evidence is overwhelming. But I'm not on the jury. The whole affair is very sad. I am happy to say I was wrong.

The jury was sequestered before this latest bombshell landed.

Apparently the son was willing to testify. Good thing he waited until after the jury was out or there would have been a mistrial for certain.

I couldn't believe the one line the defense used.
'Don't blame Jerry for this Penn State mess and the shame it brought Penn State. He didn't bring the charges.'

Yeah, right. He was 'only' the perp.

If I was on the jury, that would just piss me off.

That does kind of take one's breath away.

Why?

From my understanding they were holding him in reserve in case Jerry testified, then they would bring him up.

BREAKING: Jury finds former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky guilty in 45 of 48 counts.

It's a shame it took this long to get him.

I was wrong. Justice won this one. Should be in jail rest of his life. Very sad story. A predator. Won't be treated well there.

I believe that certain heads should roll at Penn and that those who knew about this and did nothing should be held accountable and beyond. For me that includes the late Joe Paterno. I have a dear friend who works for Penn, and this whole scandal has sickened her to the core, not only because it destroyed an institution she so dearly loved and believed in, but because she knows the good that still exists, even though all people are seeing right now is the dark and evil. I hope that they are held legally accountable and not given immunity from legal or financial consequence. Likewise, I hope that the good that does exist can blossom in the midst of this tragedy, off the playing field, because there is a whole new generation of students who have hopes and dreams at Penn State. They should not be punished or robbed of a future because of Sandusky's evilness.

This is a great opportunity to look at what part big money athletics has played in the destruction of the american university.....you could throw all the leaders of Penn St out and that would solve nothing. We have as a collective allowed this situation, by that I mean allowed those who bring us athletic success to get away with conducting all types of sin, calls that this is all the fault of a few evil people are examples of scapegoating conducted by idiots.

You have just contradicted yourself...allowing a man to be abused behind bars when that abuse was foreseen is an example of injustice, so you are saying that justice lost.

You should probably get out of the prediction business...

PSU is gonna have to drop football for some indeterminate amount of time and may even have to change its name, the initials could be read as Perv State University.
