            M.J. own kids never had a bad word to say about him, makes me think he was innocent and targeted for being out there and rich. IMO0

 I don't want to go off topic on MJ...but that really tells us nothing. I've seen kids suffer horrific abuse and cling to the abusive parent. Sometimes they don't understand that it's abuse...they've been taught abuse is love. They may have been taught to protect the parent and will deny and defend. Sometimes only one child is abused in a family. Sometimes perps won't abuse their own kids, but they will abuse other kids. It's kind of like when Mel Gibson's ex-wife said he never abused her. So fucking what? If he abused one person it doesn't matter if he abused anyone else. /rantBinauralJam wrote:M.J. own kids never had a bad word to say about him, makes me think he was innocent and targeted for being out there and rich.

 Yes. Mom of girl confirmed. But, I think age of consent (at least at the time) in PA was 16. So, no law was broken. Then, the married and had another child, but have since divorced. Mom of girl says he's a great father (to the couple's kids - sorry, couldn't resist), and that all that matters.
 Still kind of wacky. But, I guess what do you expect? This is clearly a case that only someone trying to make a name for themselves would take. He's really in a no lose situation. If convicted, well, the client was guilty. If he gets him off.....well, I think there are tv shows about the kids of someone that did that.
 That is crazy....got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...0

 I didn't see that in my search that they are stuck at an emotional agecomebackgirl wrote:
 Actually true pedophiles do have the mindset of a child. They get stagnated at a certain age, often due to abuse, and truly relate on an emotional age as if they are the same age as the child. MJ seems to fit the bill perfectly.pandora wrote:My opinion is MJ had the mindset of a child.
 Due to horrible emotional and physical abuse he never grew past
 the young age of puberty emotionally.
 I will always believe he enjoyed the company of kids because adults
 were never trusted subconsciously.
 Kids were like him, kids were who he could relate too.
 His motives were far from the motives of predators.
 Michael was messed up by the world ... a boy forever lost.
 Sandusky is another story entirely, in my opinion,
 he is your classic child predator in all respects.
 His words chosen with fore thought to mask the truth.
 He is devious, calculating, manipulating, and in classic denial as to his sexual identity.
 He didn't lie in most of the interview.... he omitted truth and twisted truth.
 The one telling question he stumbled over says it all. Took him a minute
 to change sexual attraction in his mind to something else ... love.
 It is what pedophiles do...
 they say they are showing love when they assault.
 Like the love that two adults share and show through sexual contact.
 This they truly believe often because, as children at the hands of predators,
 they were told this.
 but it certainly covers a lot of traits and characteristics ...tactics used to exploit the children.
 And also the different types of pedophiles ... never knew it was so complex.0

 It's very complex...seems to run in families to a certain extent...whether that is due to biology or environment or both we don't know for sure. There is definitely a vast difference in those that sexually abuse kids...those that are primarily attracted to kids of a certain age and those that abuse when there is an opportunity. It's very complex and very interesting, but I really prefer to work with the survivors. Never had an interest in working with offenders.pandora wrote:

 Agreed. Truly sickening. When you read the grand jury report there is so much consistency among the stories...same grooming tactics - and he admitted to a bunch of them during his interview.EmBleve wrote:Sandusky is a sleazeball creep.

            Any chance the defense team throws out there that Sandusky was abused
 as a child hence why he abused children ?My drinking team has a hockey problem

 That would conflict with the story that he "is innocent." Looks like they are just going to try to poke holes in the prosecution's evidence. It's got to be beyond a shadow of a doubt for the jury.

 yes, his interviews are very telling. I'm just like 'are you kidding me?!?!'. I haven't read the report, but just the things he has said on his own seem to validate the accusations.comebackgirl wrote:

 Call some expert witness to say his childhood was so bad he can't help himself

 The report is very telling. The stories are so similar. And there are at least 2 eye witnesses to actual assaults and a bunch of witnesses to some other sketchy interactions.EmBleve wrote:

            McQueary says he halted assault in ’02
 By Mark Scolforo, Maryclaire Dale and Genaro C. Armas
 Associated Press / November 16, 2011
 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - A former Penn State graduate assistant cited by a grand jury report as claiming he saw an ex-assistant football coach sexually abusing a young boy in a campus locker room shower says in an e-mail he made sure the act was stopped and then went to police - contradicting what the report says.
 ...McQueary, now the football team’s wide receivers coach, told a friend from Penn State that he made sure the 2002 shower assault he witnessed was stopped and went to the police about it.
 ... McQueary, who has been placed on administrative leave and did not coach in Saturday’s 17-14 loss to Nebraska, wrote: “I did stop it, not physically . . . but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker room . . . I did have discussions with police and with the official at the university in charge of police . . . no one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds . . . trust me.’’
 How did he not run up and beat the shit out of Sandusky then and there?15 years of sharks 06/30/08 (MA), 05/17/10 (Boston), 09/03/11 (Alpine Valley), 09/04/11 (Alpine Valley), 09/30/12 (Missoula), 07/19/13 (Wrigley), 10/15/13 (Worcester), 10/16/13 (Worcester), 10/25/13 (Hartford), 12/4/13 (Vancouver), 12/6/13 (Seattle), 6/26/14 (Berlin), 6/28/14 (Stockholm), 10/16/14 (Detroit)0

 house of cards ... let's hope it all comes crumbling down ... if the police were in on the cover up - it'll be much harder to expose ...0
