Typing while listening to report...

Judge's instructions to jury apparently require them to only consider the "intent" of Sandusky. Showering, soaping up, back cracking not necessarily criminal without a "sexual intent".


JESUS [censored]ING CHRIST they are gonna let him walk!!

I think they'll hang. I doubt you can find 12 dillusional Paterno synchophants on that jury. But I also doubt you can find 12 people who aren't in that town.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- The judge overseeing Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse trial has thrown out three of the 51 charges in the case, leaving the former Penn State assistant football coach facing 48 counts.

Judge John Cleland has dismissed two counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse related to the alleged sexual abuse of an accuser known as Victim 4. Cleland says the charges did not bear out what testimony revealed.

In his ruling, released Thursday morning, Cleland says he would have been required to set aside any convictions on those counts, because "the verdict was not supported by the evidence."

He also dismissed a count that he says was the same as another charge.

Cleland also ruled against a defense motion to dismiss five counts related to a boy who was allegedly seen with Sandusky by a janitor.

The perception has to be Jerry is not a threat or they wouldn't have let him out on bail..so I see the Jury either finding him not guilty or a Hung Jury. The defense was non-existent but I wouldn't have called it a vigorous prosecution either. Happy Valley just wants this to go away..the victims are irrelevant when matched up against Joe Pa's legacy and PSU's reputation.

If this jury comes back Not Guilty, just watch all of the subhumans at BWI cry foul over the media coverage of Sandusky/SecondMile/Paterno. They will claim to be martyrs of an overzealous media that convicted him in the court of public opinion.

I assure you that if this jury gets it wrong (quite possible), that will happen.

Probably mentioned earlier, but if there is any positive in this horrible scandal it's that OOC fanbases get a first hand glimpse at Penn State fans and their 100% irrational behavior.

I don't like to compare scandals, but I can compare fan reactions.

In 2010, UGA's AD got a DUI and was with a woman who had her panties on the floor of his sports car. He was fired within a week and the alumni/subway alumni supported the move 100% (with many crying to withold his compensation).


Can't Penn State fans just do the right thing and distance themself from him? Is it that hard to turn your back on scandal?

Exactly and WHY I hope the Feds will get involved and take it out of the locals hands..its almost like trying Hitler with a jury of Nazi party members.

Even if he's convicted, he'll probably just be required to pick up trash at the stadium after games.

You know, for years, PSU has been ultra-secretive about virtually everything. When one of joPa's players got into trouble, the details were always vague and the punishments were "handled within the program". A few years ago, it took a lawsuit for them to release joPa's salary.

It never made sense to me why they would be so cautious about disclosing information to the public. It's all starting to make sense now........

Jerry Sandusky trial: Media threatened with penalties for reporting verdict before adjournment

News reporters and their affiliated media organization will face sanctions if they report the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse trial verdict before court is adjourned, Judge John Cleland ruled in a decorum order this morning.


The verdict will be announced count-by-count, in order by count number. Sandusky, a 68-year-old former Penn State coach, is charged with 48 counts related to child molestation.


Court will not be adjourned until the verdict has been recorded, the jury members are excused and any motions raised by the attorneys has been argued and decided. The time court is adjourned will be noted in the record and compared against the time any news organization posts or otherwise distributes the verdict, the judge ruled.


A sheriff in the courthouse annex also told reporters no one is allow to make signals from the window of the third-floor courtroom.


Any early postings will result in sanctions against the reporter and the news organization. Once court is adjourned, media can report the verdict from the courtroom.


The gag order restricting lawyers and witnesses from speaking about the case will be lifted upon adjournment. Any jurors who wish to be interviewed will be available a half hour after adjournment, and the interviews will be moderated by a court representative.


Jurors' names will not be released without their consent.


The jury is expected to begin deliberating by 1 p.m. today following closing arguments.

I don't know what the suspense is about.... I can already tell you what the verdict will be and their statement ...


"we the jury find the defendant Joe Pater... Jerry Sandusky... NOT guilty on all accounts. WE ARE PENN STATE"

PS: just so everyone is aware .. this is highly sarcastic.
