    i read yesterday that the da held back many other victims (including matt sandusky) in case he gets off on these charges
    so would the DA be holding them for a retrial with new charges from new victims? i guess it was smart to not go all in, just in case...

    this is probably because most of these jurors have ties to penn state and if they went all in and he got off they could not bring a new trial.

    deliberating midway into day 2....asking to re-hear testimony....

    should the prosecution worry? the longer deliberations go the better the chances are for the defense...

    on the other hand, there are 40 something counts. perhaps they are going through and being very thorough with exactly what he is guilty of....

    definitely interesting though. i thought it was an open and shut case....

    I'm thinking your 3rd paragraph is the issue. 48 counts left after prosection removed 1 and judge removed 3 others.

    They listened to very specific testimony - McQueary and Doctor who testified about same victim (who happens to be one of the 2 unidentified victims). My guess is they come back not guilty on charges related to that one if they have questions (but still might find guilty). Hard to believe they would need to hear on that 1 if they thought not guilty on all the rest.

    they may be looking for inconsistencies in the testimony. 48 counts is a lot to keep straight. the jusry does not have an easy task with filtering through all of that. even if 10 counts relate to that one victim and he is acquitted of those and convicted of others he is still looking at some serious jail time.

    Exactly. But, they still have to give a verdict on every count even if it's can't come to a unanimous decision. So, with a jury being that deliberate, I find it hard (not impossible) that they found him not guilty on everything else without needing to hear testimony.

    Now, if they start asking for bits of each victim, we may have an OJ jury.... But, that being said, we're not there yet, and other than the normal concern prosecutors would have, I don't think this on its own is disconcerting.

    He only really needs 1 count to stick to be put away for life considering his age. But, you never know....

    um....
    Sandusky's lawyer Joe Amendola told reporters late Friday afternoon that a complete acquittal would be "a shock" and he'll "probably die of a heart attack" if his client beats all the charges.

    When I heard of the verdict yesterday, I was a bit taken aback by my blood-lust. It's really a sad situation all around.

    Glad justice was (and will hopefully continue to be) served upon that fucker.

    Jailed thugs locked up alongside serial child molester Jerry Sandusky ridiculed him during his first stint at Centre County Correctional Facility in December, singing lyrics from a Pink Floyd song: "Hey, teacher! Leave those kids alone!" according to a report.

    A former inmate told tablet newspaper The Daily that the disgraced ex-Penn State coach had his own cell in the sex offenders’ unit when he spent a night at the jail following his initial arrest.

    The 22-year-old former prisoner, identified only as Josh, said the other inmates were barred from talking to Sandusky.

    But, as soon as the lights went out, they taunted him with a few famous bars from Pink Floyd's 1979 album, "The Wall."

    "At night, we were singing 'Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone,' " Josh said, quoting the lyrics.

    Josh told The Daily that everyone recognized the 68-year-old coach from newspaper and television reports about his horrific crimes.

    Sandusky returned to the central Pennsylvania lockup on Friday after he was convicted on 45 counts of child sex abuse and endangerment.

    He was immediately placed on suicide watch.

    I'm pretty shocked he didn't try to off himself when he was out on bail.

    I had the same reaction. Sandusky is evil.

    It reminded me of the time, it was about August of last year when I heard about a doctor who targeted infants to two year olds because they didn't have the ability to tell anyone that their doctor was molesting them orally. Doctor videotaped what he did. There were quite a few victims there as well. I remember being extremely angry. What a horrible person.
