Hell, all he needs is one of the dumbasses on here on the jury and it's hung.

A few things that stood out to me:

First, why on earth do the interview?

Playing the horseplay card is amazing - unreal. Who thinks that is okay?


The hesitation on the sexual attraction was atrocious. And the full answer wasn't much better.

How is lawyer could sit there and be okay with this - most likely even scripted it, it shocking to me.

The comments on how JoePa never talked to him about any of this was intriguing

And why doesn't the state attorney have the identity of the shower victim? Un real.

No, no, I was being sarcastic. He admitted to showering with them and "horseplay." I might even be talked into accepting it if he'd been in there while the whole team was around so there wasn't any question what was going on. Pretty hard to make that fly when it's the dead of night and you're alone.

Yep. It's barely plausible until you consider setting. IF he were like these kids' father and IF it were in the day and IF they had been playing sports and IF there were others around it is plausible because of Sandusky's age. When Sandusky and Paterno were young men there wasn't as much paranoia about child molestation so it could be conceivable that someone could take a shower with a kid and it not be viewed as instantly damning. But when you combine everything --no less than 8 accusers, and an eye witness late at night, it is absolutely an airtight case.

I think the man is sick; however, if the defense really knows the identity of the kid that McQueary says he saw these actions being done to, and he just comes out and blasts McQueary and denies any of that happening then things will get interesting.

Funny the attorney said we have identified and then costas asked so you have found them but the commonwealth has not? And then the attorney said we think we have. Even if the victim in 2002 says nothing happened there are still many other accusations

Something to ponder...what if there is one "victim" the defense identifies that lays out the story Sandusky stated and then there is another victim for the prosecution that comes forward with mcqueary and his story

How anyone that witnessed both the crime and this interview and not want to stomp this clown's ass is beyond me.

I imagine there will be lots of kids who went through the program testifying to vouch for his character. Hopefully it won't be persuasive.

This is a big part many people fail to realize. John Ritchie on first take the other day said that everyone that met him thought he was the kindest, most respectable human being that they had ever met. The cover-up was obvious, but prior to that I could see where people would scoff at the notion of this supposed great man doing these horrendous things. What Ritchie said the other day was very telling in how everyone viewed Sandusky before all this came out.

Will be hard for a jury to look past detailed testimony from even a few no matter how many speak to this great character

Sadly, however, at the end of the day those testimonies would be a he said/she said type of deal if the two boys who the janitor saw and McQueary saw come out and deny everything.

Will also be hard to find a jury that has not been influenced or already heard of the story. Well maybe there are. I'm sure there are some people who haven't but not very many I assume

Still have other testimony from the grand jury report from victims saying touching at his house and the event at the Alamo dome among others.

Haven't followed every single testimony closely. Did they have witnesses to this, or are the victims just telling what occurred. Trust me, I'm not defending this man at all, I'm just scared that if the two biggest pieces of evidence (the eyewitness account by the janitor and McQueary) end up with the defense showing the two boys denying both accounts then it could get him off. Let's hope if these events happened as McQueary and the janitor said, that these two boys could somehow muster up the courage to get this sick man behind bars.

We always come down on people that hide behind lawyers. Now when we have a guy that doesn't, we condemn him.

I'm not saying that the interview helped his case in the eyes of the public, but I'm just saying... I know I would want to get my side of the story out if I knew I was innocent of something.

Heard part of the interview... it was chilling (to me anyway).

Reminded me of Micheal Jackson claiming it was all in fun and not sexual.

I wonder three things:

1. why he just doesn't admit he is a pedophile. It is a medically categorized disease. It will at least make the jury have to think twice about his mental state before sending him straight to prison.

2. Who is his lawyer? Does he have the super powered team of OJ Lawyers, or what exactly?

3. I wonder if he isn't doing this in order to cause over saturation, and by that I mean like in the Casey Anthony trial. There were far too many people saying she was guilty from day one and it swayed the jury to a degree. What if they try and use the media outcry against this (partially his own doing) in order to claim the jury could be tampered or mislead by information before/during the trial. Yes, it's a longshot, but I would try everything I could think of if I were his lawyer. If he even gets half of these accusations found innocent, then he will have been the best lawyer since Daniel Webster.

The janitor apparently has dementia now and isn't fit to testify. That's not going to help the prosecution.

I think it's smoke and mirrors. There's no way to tell when the defense drags some kid up there if that is the alleged victim or not. The janitor has Alzheimer's, so he won't be testifying. I think the state can probably get in what he said he saw to his coworkers though. Then you have McQreary eyewitnessing the rape. I think they've got him.

Apparently, the alleged victim of the 2002 incident could be one of Sandusky's character witnesses. If it is true that he denies being abused and/or molested, that puts a whole different spin on this case.
