Not if the victims testify.

And I expect the locals that want to absolve Joe Pa will fry Jerry because they will blame him for what happened to Joe Pa.

Disagree. Jury nullification happens in the face of overwhelming evidence. It'll be interesting to see, but I see the locals line of thought being something along the lines of, if Sandusky is innocent then it proves Paterno acted correctly in not starting a witch hunt against him. Legacy restored.

It should be noted that Sandusky was granted the ability to see all except 3 of his grandkids. Those 3 are currently involved in a custody ruling between Matt Sandusky (Jerry's adopted son) and Jill Jones, Matt's former wife; so the judge that ruled today deferred the issue of visitation for those 3 kids to the judge involved in the custody dispute.

Jill Jones alleges that Jerry Sandusky has had inappropriate contact with her 5-year-old son. The other 2 two kids are girls who are 7 and 9 years old. The mother doesn't want those 3 children to see their grandfather - we'll see what happens.

Judge nixes Sandusky request for two-month delay in start of trial

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -- The judge in Jerry Sandusky's 52-count child sex abuse case on Wednesday rejected a defense attorney's request for a two-month delay and indicated he was reluctant to push back the May 14 start of jury selection.
Judge John Cleland's eight-page memo and order said a postponement should only be a last resort and would require concrete justification.
"Absent extraordinary circumstances presented by either the commonwealth or the defendant, postponement of the trial date will only be considered if required by the demands of selecting a jury and providing for their care, conflicting demands on courtroom space, or similar logistical complications," Cleland said.
Cleland did grant Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola three extra weeks to file a catch-all pretrial motion that had been due Thursday, and ordered prosecutors to disclose addresses and phone numbers of witnesses within seven days. He also adjusted other pretrial timetables.

Original version had the ped aggy logo on the lion. Obviously, the lawyers forced him to remove it.

Also: in the original the scarecrow was Joe Pa.

that said.. I still don't understand what the hell that image is supposed to be or what comment it is trying to make. It makes no sense to me..so I guess I am missing the point.

I was afraid it was just me. I've looked at it several times, and my reaction is always "...huh?"
