Her husband wrote in his 2001 autobiography "Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story"

There are no words.

Shes obviously evil. No kind person would wear that awful lime green sweater where others would have to see it.

Her testimony was straight up creepy. When asked if she and her husband slept in the same bed, all she responded with was that he usually went to sleep before she did. That's it. I hope he takes the stand today. It'll be a freakshow.

Wearing lime green with black really does cast doubts about one's soul.

She's going to say whatever she needs to to cover both their asses. She knew something was up. She is a classic enabler.

I'm just going to hold my comments and let the jury figure it out.

After the fiasco involving the McMartin Preschool in California, it can be challenging to develop an opinion on such a sensitive issue with some much press coverage involved. However, the victims here are not preschool kids, but teens who are testifying about incidents that only occurred some years ago.

justtray		2012-06-20 12:14:15 PM

She should probably go to prison alongside him. She's clearling covering for him, and herself.

Thank god for double standards, amirite women?!?

She's either as evil and farked up as he is, or in so much Denial she no longer acknowledges reality.

"None of this stuff that happens to kids ever happens in the public arena..." said Dr. Martin Finkel, a pediatrician with 30 years of experience treating abused children.

Jerry Sandusky, 68, is charged with 51 counts of abuse involving 10 accusers. Prosecutors say he met his victims through the charity he and his wife founded, groomed them, and sexually abused them in motels, in his home and in the Penn State football building.

Nothing more private than then football building of a public university.

Owangotang		2012-06-20 12:22:52 PM

There is no reason to have anything to do with the NCAA and especially college football as long as Penn State eludes the death penalty.

MugzyBrown		2012-06-20 12:23:03 PM

Not a lot of talk about the two officers who lied under oath about if they prepped accusers about what other accusers were saying about Sandusky.

I'm these officers and the prosecutor who knowingly put them on the stand will face perjury charges.

Reminds me of that wife who killed a minivan full of family, kids and friends by driving after a bunch of shots and some marijuana at 9 am. Then everyone who new her was like NO WAY, IMPOSSIBLE, NOT HER, WE'VE NEVER SEEN HER TAKE DRUGS OR DRINK!

He apparently only did it there late at night when he expected no one else to be there. IIRC, McQueary went in because he couldn't sleep.

There is something that's bugged me for some time that really crystalized during McQueary's testimony. He said that he heard skin on skin slapping from a room away. That means that it must have been awfully quiet in that shower during an anal rape. No grunting and certainly no screaming. Now let's talk about penis size for a moment. Are you going to tell me that he is so under endowed that he could rape a ten year old boy and that boy would be quiet enough to hear the skin slapping from a room away? Just look at Sandusky. He's a big guy. He's got big hands. He's got a huge nose. Not only do I think that he's not under endowed (and I'm not trying to be gay about this), but I think he's hung like a frickin' steed. Not only would there be a lot of noise from any ten year old boy, but I'd bet there would be screams of pain. Yet nothing. I would also venture that there would be tissue damage and permanent scarring.

These accuser have made, short of murder, the most serious of accusations and should be held to the highest standard of proof. Any of the accusers who have maintained anal rape should put themselves up for an examination for scar tissue. Not only is a man's life at stake, but these accusations have unjustly tarnished one of the most noble institutions in all of athletics and arguably the legacy of the greatest man in all of athletics. There should be a very high standard of proof.

AirForceVet: After the fiasco involving the McMartin Preschool in California,

Reminds me of the one in Wenatchee Washington. Forty-three adults were arrested on 29,726 charges of child sex abuse, involving 60 children in 1995. Every single charge disproven and overturned. Unfortunately after many had already been incarcerated for years and lost their children. I don't think the sandusky trial will turn out like that. But it is why I try to reserve judgement until after the trial. People get flat out crazy about this shiat. Understandably of course, but still.

Gunny Highway		2012-06-20 12:30:47 PM

I am still looking for a good guy in this story. I am beginning to think there are none.

I'm not making anything up.. officers were on tape coaching up one of the witnesses.. They testified they never did such a thing.

I went to school with three of the Sandusky kids and went to the same church as the Sandusky family.

Locker rooms. Penn State football locker rooms. Where the expectation of privacy is assumed. He wasn't raping the boys out on the 50 yard line.

MugzyBrown: ftfy. if you're going to go. go all out.

I'm not making anything up.. officers were on tape coaching up one of the witnesses.. They testified they never did such a thing.

Earlier, defense attorneys closely questioned two Pennsylvania State Police investigators about whether they coached some of the alleged victims to provide damaging details about Sandusky's behavior with them.

One of the troopers, Cpl. Joseph Leiter, now retired, acknowledged to Sandusky defense lawyer Joe Amendola that he told some of the alleged victims that they "wouldn't be alone" if they came forward because "there were others." He also said he told one witness in an April 21, 2011, interview that investigators had interviewed as many as nine other alleged victims.

"I don't want you to feel ashamed about what happened," Leiter told the alleged victim according to a recording of the meeting played in court. "I don't want him (Sandusky) to take advantage of you ... We need you to tell us as graphically as you can about what happened to you. Remember, you are not alone."

Asked by prosecutor Joe McGettigan whether the officer ever told witnesses what to say, Leiter turned to the jury and said, "No."

But Amendola later read Leiter portions of the interview transcript in which the investigator told the victim others had reported abuse that progressed to oral sex and rape.

Also on the transcript was a conversation between a lawyer for an alleged victim and Leiter discussing how to get the witness to open up about what had happened to him. At one point, while his client is out of the room, attorney Ben Andreozzi asked Leiter: "Can we say at some point in time we have interviewed other kids?"

Gunny Highway: I am still looking for a good guy in this story. I am beginning to think there are none.

I would say the good guys are the victims who have testified. Who knows how many others this guy hurt, but there are those who have put themselves on the record about horrible incidents in order to get this guy thrown in jail. It's just pathetic that the good guys in the story were abused teenagers and not the adults who could've stood up at any point to protect them from any further harm.

This is what I was getting at. I don't see anything inproper at all in there. I was just posting the facts, since Mugzy wasn't going to, and instead wanted to frame the argument in a dishonest way.

Just for the sake of clarity, do you think Sandusky is being framed here? Do you think he's innocent?

He's probably guilty, but if I was on the jury now I'd be leaning towards acquital because I believe any misconduct by the gov't in prosecution should lead to an acquital.

This.

I'm not sure anywhere in what I posted that shows ANY type of misconduct. The prosecutor even read the transcript. Please point out 1) Where exactly there was misconduct prior to the case and 2) Who, and what specifically was lied about under oath.

Amendola seems intent on proving that the police are somehow willingly being duped by a cabal of young men looking to get rich. He has no answer for McQueary's testimony, no answer for those creepy letters, no answers for the statements made to the mother of one of the victims back in 1998.

That said, it just takes one Penn St die hard fan to make this a mistrial.
