I know people said the same thing about OJ and Casey Anthony, but with all the evidence out there, is there any chance this guy can walk free???

Well, he walked around Happy Valley for...13 years(?) as a known, eye-witnessed child rapist, so you never know. He was literally caught, naked, in the act of raping a child, and was able to continue to show his face in the offices on campus on a daily basis.

No way. This is way different than those were. There are multiple witness-victims to this thing. Plus, it's not one event, it's a prolonged series of crimes.I know people said the same thing about OJ and Casey Anthony, but with all the evidence out there, is there any chance this guy can walk free???
Plus, the whole thing literally killed Paterno when he finally woke up and realized the part he played, and it ruined Penn State's rep. They'd put him away for those things alone. Or the child abuse alone, either one. They're gonna make sure somebody pays, and he's the main guy, all the guilt of others is peripheral to him. In combination, all of that is gonna get him locked up forever.

BTW, question for any lawyer-types here, because I just don't know...
I know that every court tries to get an unbiased jury for a fair trial. How in the hell did they find people that didn't know about this Sandusky thing?

Well I believe 5 or so of the jurors did or currently do go to Penn St, so I'd imagine they were aware of it.
Oh, and I'm very glad that he's going away for his crimes, I just wish something was done about it much sooner.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think that doesn't matter in this one because Sandusky made a big deal about wanting/insisting that his trial be in that venue.BTW, question for any lawyer-types here, because I just don't know...

Sandusky will be held at the local jail until he can be evaluated by the state prison system and assigned accordingly. He is expected to wind up in protective custody, away from the general population, for his own protection. That likely means 23 hours a day in a 6-by-8-foot cell. In other words, a concrete box of hell.

I just can't imagine how anyone can enjoy cheering for Penn State anymore. The cover-up was so widespread. I believe all the coaches knew, many of whom are still with the program. Tom Bradley, Larry Johnson Sr, Jay Paterno, Mike McQueary, Joe Paterno, I believe every single one of them knew. Some knew since 2005, others knew since 1998, others probably knew before. Heck, Dan Connor was rumored to have been punished for making prank calls to Sandusky's house about his preference for young boys. The University has denied it, but I refuse to let them insult my intelligence.
I could be wrong about all that, but I think my feelings are shared among many. I feel bad for Penn State alumni.

Interestingly, the coach that Dan Connor supposedly DID prank call about being a pedophile was Joe Sarra. Joe Sarra came to Penn State in 1984 via his employment with...you guessed it....The Second Mile. Also quite peculiar is the fact that Sarra was demoted to Special Projects Assistant to Paterno in 1999, the same year Sandusky "retired" in the prime of his career (after the child rape incident in 1998).
Sarra "retired" in 2005, just months before District Attorney Ray Gricar mysteriously disappeared right after the McQueary-witnessed incident happened.

Not saying it didn't play a factor but age and cancer was more. Your argument would be a little better if he was younger, this slant sells better but is hardly accurate.Plus, the whole thing literally killed Paterno when he finally woke up and realized the part he played, and it ruined Penn State's rep.

Complete speculation that anyone besides JoePa and McQueary. They've all denied knowing besides them and I'm not going to level that accusation without any clear evidence. What else are you going to say that players, support staff, administration (other than Curley/Spanier) knew and did nothing. I think Penn State replaced all but two assistants btw, Tom Bradley/Jay Paterno are no longer on the staff. This could all be the case, but I think it's irresponsible to single them out just on gut.I just can't imagine how anyone can enjoy cheering for Penn State anymore. The cover-up was so widespread.

One point I will agree with you on is if I were a Penn State alum or employee, I would be utterly embarrassed to be associated with the school.

Well, either folks throughout college football knew something was up, or else somebody at Penn St told Sandusky to stay retired or else... because there's no way that guy would not have had a ton of over-the-moon job offers...
As for the fired Penn St prez... I see where a senior priest in PA got convicted for crimes related to child abuse, not for what he did but for what he didn't do... and there's a bishop somewhere who's about to go on trial for the same thing, which is letting a known child abuser keep at it... if monsignors and maybe a bishop go to jail for that, I don't see why a college prez wouldn't...

A bit off-topic, but I must say one of the reasons I love sports is because the content is so much lighter. I was thinking during last night's Orioles game, it just wasn't the same as the normal win since it came at the same time as the verdict. I'll admit I take sports way too seriously sometimes, this really puts that into perspective.
