The Verdict Is In: Jerry Sandusky Guilty on 45 of 48 Charges

Speaking to Bob Costas helped to convict him before the trial began.

 

Jerry Sandusky, long-time football coach at Penn Sate University was just found guilty on 45 of 48 charges. Even his attorney had little faith in the outcome.

Sandusky came into the court room looking quite somber, but showed little emotion as the charges were read.

He was sentenced to 60 years in prison and has no chance ever to be released. He is 68 years old, and obviously will die some time in the future while living in prison.

His entire family attended the closing session of the trial. The local crowd cheered the verdict loudly.
