and the massive cover-up by penn state is starting to leak out. they had files and emails about the situation. they said the one guy Curley lied to the grand jury so much that they couldn't even rebutt all the lies that there were so many. i hope all those people who defended penn state and paterno apologize at the end but i doubt they will.
ya .. fucking brutal ... :(
Defense attorneys rarely ask their clients if they are guilty directly.
The problem with him is, I think he thinks he did nothing wrong.

The witness then breathed heavily. He followed with a deep sniff of his noise, then hung his head and openly wept.
"He … "
More sobs.
"He put … "
There was another prolonged sigh. An attempt at a breath. A loud cry.
"He put his mouth on my privates," the witness said through a broken voice, seemingly just trying to spit it out.
"I spaced. I didn't know what to do with all the thoughts running through my head. I just blacked out. I didn't want it to happen. I froze."
yeah ... i get that ...
but there's no way in hell i could live with myself if my job is to inflict emotional and psychological anguish on someone ... or try to get someone i know is guilty off on a technicality ... no thanks ...
I couldn't either, initially was pre-law in school, but after talking with my father who practiced for quite a few years as a defense attorney I opted out quickly. I saw his spirit slowly die over the course of my lifetime and I think a lot of it had to do with constantly defending the same people for the same things.
It isn't always a glamorous job, and people don't really respect lawyers, especially criminal defense attorneys...until they need one.
oh, kind of off topic, but Technicalities are often another word for (civil) rights. It keeps the cops honest, nothing wrong with that...if we didn't have them we would be seeing wrongful convictions all over the place.

My sister is a criminal defense attorney and she won't go near sex crimes. Lots of money for those lawyers in drugs and guns though.
Everyone has the right to their day in court though. I couldn't do his lawyers job.
They still quake and cower from burdening that power
You should have been helping to guide their lives
Assisting them to forge a course
But instead of being under your guidance
They were under the weight of your force
They were numbers-in-waiting while you were a scout
They are still numbered and full of self doubt
Eyes downcast they live with shame
You walk around
While they go unnamed
You should have been a hero
But instead of looking up to you
They were looking up at you
From their knees
Skinned little knees
Repeating their pleas
To stop – please
Stop
Tortured little souls, some living hand to mouth
To wind up in your nasty hands and your filthy fucking mouth
You infected their lives and permeated their nightmares
They will never be the same
Subjected to your sickness
While you skulk behind your fame
You took them by their little hands and forever fucked their minds
with the slimy agonizing touch
with scales and festering pustules and bile and vomit
that ooze from the black and putrid heart
of a child molester

wow, what a fucking nutcase. i understand wanting to stick up for a long time friend but holy shit some of her comments are just off the wall. what kind of gym and ymca does this nut job go to? it really is frightening how some people in this world think.
not shocking to me ...
some people still say george bush was a good president ...
Well... I suppose, facts don't matter as long as, based on her gut feeling, she knows Sandusky is a saint. Because... only 8 out of thousands of kids, what's the big deal, right?
And yeah... what kind of totally fucked up YMCA does she go to? From the photograph of her... I'm going to take a wild stab at it and say, she's not much of a gym rat.
Hail, Hail!!!

I would not bet on this man getting too much time. Probably pay some money, say he's sorry and get right back to coaching..........IT'S THE AMERICAN WAY!
I mean for all of us who played sports growing up, wasn't having a coach in the shower (we all remember needing a shower after sports when we were 10) showing us all how to wash ourselves. Where is that roll the eyes emocon.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I guess it only takes one, but I agree with you.
If you look at all the recent Penn State Alumni polls, it clearly shows that even they think less of their University.
The quote that killed me was that the University President (and Joe Paterno) knew the details of McQueary's account, but didn't go public to treat Sandusky "humanely." I'm still floored by the complete and utter lack of reality these guys were living in and that the NCAA has not done more to sanction this football program. The cover up happened to protect the "program." It's that cut and dried. Children could have been saved if the Asshole Joe Paterno had just put an end to it and said to hell with what happens in our stupid little game.
There's also a great article on The Slate about why there's really no reason for Sandusky to plead out (which most in his situation would have already) - his age. Even a plea would mean life behind bars. No threat of death penalty (my addition - the article does not mention that). Perhaps, the threat of that would have spared these folks their latest agony.....
From testimony yesterday, she supposedly didn't hear one boy's cries for help while he was being raped in the basement of the Sandusky home.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
as for the wife ... i'm not too sure what to think ... it wouldn't shock me if she was oblivious ...
i think she had to know
it couldn't have gone on as long as it did without her knowing something was very very wrong
"what a long, strange trip it's been"
maybe ... i don't know ...
this happened about a decade ago and dude would have been in his late 50's along with his wife ... they would have been married for like almost 40 years ... i can see her being totally oblivious considering they adopted a bunch of kids ...
I'll say this - I too don't know, but it just doesn't make sense to me for this to have happened only once in their home. Chances are it was a regular-basis type of thing (pedophiles tend to be that way) and if you're living with someone THAT long, you just don't "don't know".
I'm guess she put on blinders and earmuffs - willful oblivion.
