Disgraced Former Penn State DC Jerry Sandusky (convicted child molester)

Fucking trash.

PSU looks extremely bad if JS is found guilty on all charges and it looks like a community coverup if he is found innocent of all charges. I think that the best outcome for PSU is if JS is found guilty of some charges, but not the most horrific charges (anal rape).

If there is no conviction related to MM's testimony, the PSU administration looks "slightly" less irresponsible for failing to report. I wouldn't be surprised with that outcome since MM didn't see penetration, the victim didn't act distressed, and the victim didn't file a complaint.

Hard to do when your whole self image was created on being morally superior to every other university on planet earth. Pretty tough to be objective under those circumstances.

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).

Sources: Adopted son as possible witness helped keep Sandusky silent



BELLEFONTE, Pa. ? Jerry Sandusky decided not to testify in his child sex abuse trial after his lawyers were warned that prosecutors would call a surprise new witness ? one of the defendant?s own adopted sons ? who was prepared to deliver damaging testimony about his father, sources tell NBC News.
Matt Sandusky, one of six adopted children of Jerry and Dottie Sandusky, was observed by NBC News entering the courthouse, accompanied by Pennsylvania state troopers, on Wednesday morning as the defense was preparing to wrap up its case? and apparently still wrestling with whether Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State defensive coordinator, would take the stand.

To be honest Missouri fans have proven themselves to be more than a little delusional over the past year or so. The official party line is that Missouri turned down the B1G, was the SEC's first choice & is historically a top 25 program with unlimited potential.

That being said I see them falling right in line with the normal SEC brand of crazy....taking credit by proxy when Auburn buys it's next undefeated team in 2020 chanting "SEC SEC SEC". Texas A&M is Penn St with actual jack boots & buzz cuts.

Speculating:

Sounds like he had a change of heart after hearing testimony he knew wasn't true or something similar. Probably refused to testify originally.

Or maybe his testimony would only be relevant to refute specific testimony that Sandusky would have made...i.e., he didn't know what actually went on in the basement, but he would be able to refute details he tried to provide that would make it sound like innocent activity or non-secretive...or something like that.

This.

the prosecution was obviously going to get sandusky to say something that would open the door to a series of rebuttal witnesses that would have been a real trainwreck for the defense. not having sandusky take the stand is the best move the defense could have made.
