He is trying to say that he was just horsing around. Being a jock. You have no excuse tobe in a shower with a young boy no excuse! That attorney knows hes guilty
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.
Purely hypothetical situation:
A is in charge of watching over young B for a day. A and B have been playing football on a hot, sunny day; both are sweaty. B's parents sent a bag of clean clothes for him to change into if he ended up getting dirty, sweaty, etc. The only shower in the immediate proximity is in a now empty locker room in a facility that has janitors who have dementia. A lets B shower by himself. When B is out, dried off, and changed, A then gets in the shower. When A comes out of the shower, B is gone. B is never found again.
Is A at fault for any type of negligence?
Do you think the prosecution has any duty to produce a victim for an alleged crime?
"Your honor, I had to take a shower with the young boy because if I waited until he was done to take my shower, he would have been kidnapped by those evil janitors. If anything, you should be thanking me for doing my duty as a responsible child care taker." Seems like a really good defense.
I think the prosecution should make an effort to find the victim and get his account. But given the age of the boy at that time and the eyewitness account, no, I don't think the lack of a victim casts doubt on the case.
I think they're going to have to find the boys he actually did the deed too. Either that or this peice of trash won't get what he deserves. Our justice system works this way.
Touching them, horsing in the shower isn't going to get him put away for very long if at all.
In this case, I find it very credible. The eyewitness had no ax to grind against Sandusky, was upset by the event and reported it to Paterno (which probably wasn't easy for him).
Why make up this hypothetical situation when you think horseplay with grown men in the shower is a-ok?Purely hypothetical situation:
