Objections raised over Sandusky defense's subpoena use

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Jerry Sandusky's lawyers have been improperly issuing subpoenas and using them for a fishing expedition to aid his defense against child sex-abuse charges, prosecutors said in a court filing Friday. The attorney general's office asked a judge to have the subpoenas withdrawn and to force Sandusky's lawyers to show how information they are seeking is relevant to the criminal case. Among their claims is that lawyers for the former Penn State assistant football coach sent subpoenas to police and others that improperly revealed the names of alleged victims.
"The commonwealth need not underscore to this honorable court the spectacular irresponsibility of treating secret information in that fashion," state prosecutors wrote.

Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola, citing a gag order in the case, declined to comment on the merits of the prosecution motion, but said he would respond in a court filing next week.
Attached to the prosecution motion were examples of the subpoenas that provided a glimpse of defense strategy as the trial date nears. Jury selection is scheduled to begin at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte on June 5.
From the state police, Amendola sought copies of an accident report involving the young man described as "Victim 1" by the investigative grand jury, and any documents that the state police have provided to the Freeh Group, the firm hired by Penn State to look into the Sandusky matter.

Part of Jerry Sandusky case might unhinge over date of alleged abuse, Penn State lawyers say

Mike McQueary's story is changing again.

In court paperwork filed Monday, prosecutors say the alleged sexual incident the former assistant Penn State football coach claims to have seen between Jerry Sandusky and a young boy in a locker room shower didn?t actually happen the Friday before spring break in 2002.

Instead, they wrote, new evidence shows it happened on Feb. 9, 2001, about 13 months earlier.

And lawyers for two Penn State officials charged with lying about the incident say the 2001 date puts at least part of the case beyond the statute of limitations.

Isn't that something that would have been found out a while ago? Like when Paterno had to defend why he didn't do a damn thing after the meeting with McQueary. If it's me and somebody tells the world they talked to me about an adult raping a child in 2002 when it actually happened in 2001, I think I would clarify that.

As appalling as this is I'm really starting to believe that Sandusky is absolutely going to get off, and when he does he will be welcomed back into the Penn State community as a martyr and as evidence that the evil media just wanted to destroy Joe Pa because they couldn't stand his Success with Honor.

Looks like the 'failure to report' charges will be dropped for Curley and Schultz, since the shower incident is now officially in February, 2001 and the statute of limitations for that was past when the charges were filed.

They'll still be tried for perjury, which will probaby be a tougher charge to get a conviction on.

I don't think he will walk, but I do think the dog and pony show going on right now will end up in a mistrial and maybe then a change of venue (that desparately needs to be done IMO) will happen.

Good luck finding someone in State College that Sandusky hasn't already Sanduskied, much less someone who hasn't already formed an opinion.

I am simply at a loss how the venue hasn't been changed.



Someone page Ubet to come explain why I'm wrong about that......oh, wait. :evil:

The fact that they're going ahead with a "trial" there shows just how inbred these people truly are.

"Come on, guys. No Newspapers, news shows or facebook while you're on the jury. Scout's honor." What a fucking joke.
