Guilty on 45 counts. "The jury, consisting of seven women and five men,
many with direct ties to Penn State, deliberated for 21 hours over two days. On the evening of June 22, 2012, the jury reached its verdict, finding Sandusky guilty on 45 of the 48 counts against him. Specifically, Sandusky was convicted of the following charges and counts: eight counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, seven counts of indecent assault, one count of criminal intent to commit indecent assault, nine counts of unlawful contact with minors, 10 counts of corruption of minors and 10 counts of endangering the welfare of children."
With respect to the "research" of the often-fired radio talk show guy, John Ziegler,
Paterno family lawyer Wick Sollers said:
βThe release of the audio recording of Jerry Sandusky is a sad and unfortunate development. Sandusky had the opportunity to speak, under oath, during his trial and he chose not to do so. Releasing a recording at this time, nearly a year after he was found guilty on 45 counts, is transparently self-serving and yet another insult to the victims and anyone who cares about the truth in this tragic story.
βThe Paterno family would prefer to remain silent on this matter, but they feel it is important to make it clear that they had no role in obtaining or releasing this recording. Moreover, they believe that any attempt to use this recording as a defense of Joe Paterno is misguided and inappropriate. I encourage anyone who wants to understand the facts of this case to go to Paterno.com and read the reports of former Attorney General Dick Thornburgh, former FBI profiler, James Clemente, noted pedophilia expert, Dr. Fred Berlin and the King & Spalding legal team.
βFrom the beginning, the family has been committed to due process and a careful, objective examination of the facts. This is the path they will continue to follow.β
Over the weekend, Paternoβs son, Scott, tweeted: βWhy would we oppose Zieglerβs analysis if it credibly exonerated Dad? We oppose it b/c it seeks to do so with a false narrative."
What is most damaging to the Penn State community is the continued attempt by some to deny what has been proven.
