Dottie denial... wonder how she is going to deal with this.. live with it.

All of these comments are interesting .... but I feel we are ignoring the mindset that created them.

A valid university is for highter learning ... the jock aspect is "extra curricular" and should probably be paid for by those who feel this is the way to a degree.

We certainly should not fund scum bags like Sandusky .... or Paterno.

It's time for a complete reevaluation of what our higher education program is about.

(Suggestion: "Higher Education" ....not grunts)

Well done jurors. I ,too, once served on a sexual assault of a minor case and it is not an easy job. It is absolutely essential to start with the premise that the government must prove its case. But if they do, convict the SOB!!! Again WELL DONE and thank you.

just remember jeffery dahmer was in pc but they still got him cant wait till i read what they finally done to ole jerry

If Sandusky is placed in a general prison population, he won't last a month. Just like that Boston pedophile priest Geoghan.

prison guys be a little more creative this time more than just a mop handle

His lawyer was a bad joke. Any money he was paid should be returned. Ineffective assistance of council. Sand. probably guilty but that atty. is a moronic media whore who didn't care a whit about his client. Attorneys should be banned. They are organized criminals.

"Lack of emotion confirms....."

This kind of judgmental comment from jurors always bothers me regardless of "proven beyond doubt" quilty verdict .

Nobody from this juror panel is an expert on human behavior. Interpreting human behavior is an expertise learned and acquired by well trained professionals...not everyday average Joe's, aka our peers. It is a well known fact humans behave differently in identical situations.

I am still bothered by similar comment by a juror after Martha's conviction. He found her guilty because he did not like her attitude. Or Peterson's "body English".

And yet, a defendant with excellent lawyers can be found not guilty partly based on catchy slogan, " If it does not fit, acquit"

it seems common sense won out. unlike the casey anthony fiasco. he should get at least 20 years and sent to a maimum security penitentiary for the security. nobody likes chicken hawks more than the prisoners. he will need alot of security.

Having been through an emotionally draining ordeal for months and seeing the hopelessness of his predicament and being powerless to alter it, his lack of emotion after the verdict didn't prove squat.

"Lack of emotion comnfirms..."

This kind of post-trial feedback comments from jurors always concerns me.

Humans behave and react differently under identical situations. Interpreting human behavior is an expertise learned and acquired by well trained professionals...NOT by regular Joe's, aka, our peers.

I am still bothered by similar judging comment from Martha's trial. He found her guilty mainly because "she had an attutude". Or Peterson's "body English".

Yet, a well funded defendent with shrewd lawyers can be found not guilty partly based on a catchy slogan, "If it does not fit, acquit"

Raven; there's nothing I said that contradicts what you're asserting. I fully agree that it's the attorney's job to provide a proper defense. But I think attorneys need to keep in mind that they are also known as counselors, and when the dust is all settled it would provide me at least with some solace to hear that they counseled him to do the right thing morally. Do you have sons? How would you feel if your son, having been molested by Sandusky was forced to come forward publicly and be abused in court by him again through his lawyers? How would you feel about an attorney if he was your father/brother/son and he participated in this public humiliation of someone who had already been privately violated without at least counseling the violator to stop his criminal behavior? Of course if Sandusky continued to maintain his innocence and refused this counsel, then the best defense should be made and I think it was here, but the outcome was pretty predictable wouldn't you agee? The other part of your comment I question is; just because none of the attorneys you worked for did the right thing, does that mean it's not still the right thing? It makes them look like money-grubbing villains in cases that are so open and shut like this one and in the Conrad Murray case. After the initial facts came out it was obvious he had zero chance of an acquittal; wouldn't it have been better law and better humanity for the lawyers to counsel Murray to try to obtain some leniency by taking responsibility? Just asking. Lawyers have a pretty bad rep in our society and though I don't feel a blanket contempt for them like many people do, in this case they really look ugly unless it comes out that they urged Sandusky to cut it out and cop to what he did.

Say all you want but it is a "Very Sad" day for all involved. Anton, don't even GO THERE!!!

I hold Penn State equally responsible. They became aware of his little secret yet never called the police. Sandusky knew he had this oddity in personality disorder and should have obtained medical help. I'm not sure what mental issues cause men to do such things, but they seem to come from all walks of life and are cursed with a disorder that they can't control. I've read about it over and over, where apparently normal men in all other respects have this sickness. I'd rather be a alcoholic, gambler or womanizer. At least it's accepted by society as a quirk in personality. But these mendestroy their life, their families and everything they own to practice this weird crime. I'm not even sure if they feel any guilt at all or even think they did something wrong. So damn strange.

This where all rabbit animals should got for the rest of their lives and that is a fact.

The guy will probably go to a rich man prison where he will be catered to,

"We did not have the evidence that that very first charge happened," Harper said. "We were in agreement ... that we could not convict him of that first count."

What was the evidence for the other counts? I'm still just trying to figure out if there was ANY evidence other than testimony (video, audio, text, email).

Maybe now Penn State can start reforming its entire image. Penn State has the reputation of being the most over-the-top, out-of-control party school in the country. The Penn State graduates I have met appear to have all majored in binge drinking, and have taken it up as careers after graduation. They also seemed to demonstrate a smug superiority about their alma mater. Perhaps now all that will change. It will take decades for Penn State to be perceived as anything other than "that child molester school" by the general public.

A juror in the Jerry Sandusky trial said Saturday that the look on the former Penn State football coach's face as the guilty verdicts were announced was "confirmation" that they had made the right decision.

Huh?

If he had broken down in tears, would you have felt you made the wrong decision?

You sound like a highly skilled face reader.

I am a straight 68 year old and I wish all you would stop saying Jerry is a homosexual. He is NOT, he is a pedophile, pure and simple. I am extremely proud of that Jury (especially after all the comments re: too many Penn Staters on the jury), where in PA would they find ANYONE who doesn't have some feelings for Penn State? The DA putting the pics of the victims when they were children was, I think, the best strategic move of their case. How powerful! I also think the jury did a wonderful, thorough job, and that juror was just stating his own validation of how he voted. If you are going to send someone to jail for life (even a pedophile), you want a small token of validation - at least I would. It wouldn't mean that I had any doubts about how I voted. Now on to bringing the rest of the scumbags (who did nothing when they could've stopped all the bad acts after 1999) to justice. I want to see them in a jail cell also. Dottie has a lot to answer for (something had to "feel" wrong to her throughout all those years). May she live to regret everything she DID NOT do.

KUDOS to this jury for having the guts to find him guilty. When I heard they all had ties to Penn State in one way or another, I was worried. The facts are overwhelming - the truth is so painful for these innocent kids. And the fact that they were in a program for troubled youth when the jerk assaulted them is even more painful and hard to accept. The words coming out of the defense attorney's mouth last night almost made me gag. Surely he cannot believe what he was saying................................And as for Sandusky's wife, Heaven help her - she will have her own hell to pay. She would have had to be blind, deaf and downright stupid to not know what was going on. Love is supposed to be blind but I don't think there was any love in that relationship..................now it will be interesting to see what the Penn State fans have to say. This has been a difficult time for the school and students - but the fact that some continued to defend him again makes me question what they could be thinking. I'm sure there will still be some who think he's innocent - and what about Paterno.....................just what did he really know and when and why didn't he do something.

I have a problem believing that pedophiles don't believe that what they are doing is wrong. I need some facts about this. Alcoholics, drug addicts etc. know they have a problem but hearing that pedophiles don't believe they have a problem is difficult to fathom.

I'm hearing this but still can't believe that this is really true. "It's an illness"...."they don't believe that what they are doing is wrong" .....is what I'm hearing and it's the first time I've heard this. I ALWAYS thought these sick people with their sick fun know that what they are doing is WRONG!!!! Am I the only one who always thought this way?

My God, these are children.

60 years. min. isn't going to bring back what those boys lost. Just give him life and be done. 60 years will be life for him anyway. He will die in prison. He will be given a cell by himself, that's what they give child molesters. Special treatment!!!Need to put them in regular inmates,right!!! He wouldn't last a day

The Paterno's, Penn State University, dottie sandusky, or any other person who didn't say anything when all this was happening for the past 15 years need to keep their mouths shut at this point! No one is going to believe that you are on the right side of morals, human decency, or the law for you to be patronizing the victims. Why couldn't they be more verbal when all this was happening and stop countless other boys from this guys awful hands of abuse. They are just as guilty as this low life who was protected by so many.

Anyone who is affiliated with those who protected sandusky needs to distance themselves far and away from them. They don't deserve any compassion or companionship of anyone to be so calassed about the well being of the victims. It was such a selfish act not to say anything.

Too bad that don't cut his dick off also. Not to mention what I would like to do to his wife, and all the rest of the big shots that knew at Penn state and kept it under raps in order to bring in money to the football gods. Sick what sports has become t allow this.
