Jerry Sandusky trial: Defense questions police about possibly leading boys to tell the same accusations

State troopers acknowledged on the stand this morning that they told potential victims of Jerry Sandusky that there were ?others? and that Sandusky appeared to have a ?defined progression? in an attempt to ease their minds and get them to open up.
During the second day of evidence from the defense, attorney Joe Amendola questioned the troopers about leading the men who would eventually become known as the eight
accusers.He read an excerpt from an interview alleged Victim 4 had with retired trooper Joseph Leiter:
?Before you start again I just want to let you know, you?re not the first victim we?ve spoken to,? Amendola read in court from a transcript of a taped interview, which Leiter said was accurate. ?We interviewed about nine ... and you're doing very well. You have been repeating word for word pretty much what other people have been telling us.
?A lot of what you?ve told us is very similar ... there is a pretty well defined progression of how he operates ... especially when it goes on for an extended period of time, leads to more than touching and feeling ... leads to oral sex.
?I don?t want you to feel ashamed because you are a victim in this whole thing. What happened happened. He took advantage of you. We?re not going to look at you any differently ... but we need you to tell us as graphically as you can what took place.?
Leiter and trooper Scott Rossman said they tracked down and interviewed dozens of men -- 50 or 60 -- who were listed within Second Mile files, and spent days going to their homes, knocking on doors, asking if anything inappropriate happened between them and Sandusky.
Many of them were reluctant, they said.
One of them crawled up in a fetal position at the end of his couch when he talked to police, Leiter said.
But he said he never interviewed any of them more than three times and never told them what to say.
Out of the dozens of interviews, only six accusers emerged as alleged victims in the first grand jury presentment that led to charges of child sex abuse against Sandusky.
The stories of the accusers evolved during those police interviews.
The troopers also acknowledged that at least one of them -- the 28-year-old known as Victim 4 -- brought his attorney with him. And at some point during a break, that attorney suggested Leiter tell him that he wasn?t the only one to come forward.

Jerry Sandusky trial: Witnesses defend ex-PSU coach as friend, mentor

Nine character witnesses took the stand this morning to talk about the good reputation that Jerry Sandusky enjoyed before charges were filed against him last year.
Their testimonies were brief, and there was little cross-examination by prosecutor Joe McGettigan. Prosecutors say Sandusky met his alleged victims through his children's charity, The Second Mile.
Witnesses this morning included:


  • A Bellefonte woman and former Second Mile child who has known Sandusky for 17 years, accompanied him to football picnics with players, and learned to cook from his wife, ?Dot,? during dinners and sleepovers at his house.

  • A 33-year-old Milesburg man who spent three or four nights at the Sandusky home, and went to football games with Sandusky in the 1990s.

  • A 25-year-old military veteran and expecting mom who testified that Victim 4 was ?a dishonest person and embellished stories.?

  • A mother of 14 who has known the Sandusky family for 40 years, and said even though Sandusky was ?always busy as a football coach,? he took the time to take her son, who has Down syndrome, to dinner and celebrate his birthday. Sandusky would say, ?Who?s the best?? And her son would reply, ?Jerry.? She grabbed Sandusky?s shoulder in a show of support as she left the stand.

  • A retired professor of microbiology at Penn State who has known Sandusky for 35 years, was his neighbor, went to church with him and played piano at his mother and father?s funerals. He occasionally saw boys with Sandusky at church.

  • A retired professor of civil engineering who was also Sandusky?s neighbor. Their kids grew up together, and he saw a lot of interactions between Sandusky and kids.
?Among our children among our grandchildren he is a father figure, and he?s also respected for what he did professionally,? said Jack Willenbrock.
On cross-examination, he said he refused to listen when people talk now about Sandusky and the charges he faces.
?We are not the ones who are going to judge what Jerry Sandusky did, and when people started talking about it we decided we didn?t want to hear it,? he said. ?We never approached the issue of the Sandusky situation.?

  • Lance Mehl, a former Penn State defensive player and linebacker for the New York Jets for eight years. He is now a probation officer for juvenile court in Ohio.

  • A retired Bellefonte guidance counselor who knew Sandusky through football camps and offered to be a character witness.

  • A 28-year-old expecting mother and former Second Mile child who said she went to college: ?Thanks to Jerry, half my tuition was paid.?
Also this morning, Patriot-News reporter Sara Ganim was subpoenaed as a defense witness. However, the subpoena is "precautionary," so she doesn't need to leave the courtroom. Ganim won a Pulitzer Prize for her work on the Sandusky case.

unaired portion of the Costas interview.

I just watched the CNN clip.

Costas asked if he used helping "Kid 1" as a way to take advantage of "Kids 1, 2, 3, etc."

Sandusky doesn't even indirectly deny it.
says something like "you may see it that way ... i didn't seek out every child for sexual contact ... there are many that I had no contact with who I helped in many, many ways"


no, he doesn't admit it.
but his lack of even sorta denying it is quite interesting.

Implicit in this is that he DID seek out some for sexual contact, no?

Fuckin sick bastard.

that's what it sounds like.

Sick doesn't begin to describe him.
you're on fucking TV, not under oath in court.
you can at least LIE ABOUT IT to try and cover it up.

not only does he seem to think what he did is perfectly acceptable behavior, he almost sounds PROUD of his accomplishments.

Jerry Sandusky trial: Prosecution may use full Bob Costas interview with Sandusky, report says

NBC is reporting that the prosecution in the Jerry Sandusky case has asked the network to verify a transcript of Sandusky's November 2011 interview with Bob Costas.
An untelevised portion of the interview quotes Sandusky: "I didn't go around seeking out every young person for sexual needs that I've helped."

According to NBC News: "On Friday, a prosecutor from the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office contacted an NBC News lawyer asking the network to re-authenticate a full unedited transcript of the Costas interview. Because the network had already released the transcript, and it had been published on a Pennsylvania news website, the network agreed."The Centre Daily Times has the transcript on its website. According to the posted transcript:

  • BOB COSTAS: (18:58:59:00) But you're a man who by his own admission has showered with young boys, highly inappropriate. Who has continually put himself in the presence of young boys, volunteer high school coach, volunteer at a small local college, even after ? you were largely disassociated from Penn States. Multiple reports of you getting into bed with young boys who stayed at your house in a room in the basement. How do you account for these things? And if you're not a pedophile, then what are you?
  • JERRY SANDUSKY: (18:59:30:00) Well I'm a person that has taken a strong interest. I'm a very passionate person in terms of trying to make a difference in the lives of some young people. I worked very hard to try to connect with them. To make them feel good about themselves. To ? be something significant in their lives. Maybe this gets misinterpreted, has gotten depending on ? I know a lot of young people where it hasn't. I have worked with many, many young people where there has been no misinterpretation of my actions and I have made a very significant difference in their lives.
  • BOB COSTAS: (19:00:28:00) But isn't what you're just describing the classic MO of many pedophiles? And that is that they gain the trust of young people, they don't necessarily abuse every young person. There were hundreds, if not thousands of young boys you came into contact with, but there are allegations that at least eight of them were victimized. Many people believe there are more to come. So it's entirely possible that you could've helped young boy A in some way that was not objectionable while horribly taking advantage of young boy B, C, D, and E. Isn't that possible?
  • JERRY SANDUSKY: (19:01:01:00) Well ? you might think that. I don't know. (LAUGHS) In terms of ? my relationship with so many, many young people. I would ? I would guess that there are many young people who would come forward. Many more young people who would come forward and say that my methods and ? and what I had done for them made a very positive impact on their life. And I didn't go around seeking out every young person for sexual needs that I've helped. There are many that I didn't have ? I hardly had any contact with who I have helped in many, many ways.
  • BOB COSTAS: (19:01:47:00) Are you sexually attracted to young boys, to underage boys?
  • JERRY SANDUSKY: (19:01:52:00) Am I sexually attracted to underage boys?
  • BOB COSTAS: (19:01:55:00) Yes.
  • JERRY SANDUSKY: (19:01:57:00) Sexually attracted, you know, I ? I enjoy young people. I ? I love to be around them. I ? I ? but no I'm not sexually attracted to young boys.
Sandusky is charged with 51 counts related to the sexual assault of 10 boys, some of them on the Penn State campus and all of them he reportedly met through his children's charity, The Second Mile. Sandusky denies the allegations.
His trial is expected to wrap up this week. The defense has indicated that Sandusky suffers from a personality disorder that makes him need to be the center of attention, and has presented witnesses to say that some of his actions, such as showering with children, are not unusual in the sports world.
