Jurors asked a question relating to the case of alleged Victim 8 at about 2:45 pm in the
Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case. Jurors are in their second day of deliberations.
In the Victim 8 case, a janitor testified he saw Sandusky grab a young boy's hand as he left the coaches' locker room one night in 2000, and his colleague who had been in the locker room cleaning became very upset, saying he saw a "dirty man" licking the boy's privates.
The jurors' question was about the legal term "
excited utterance" and about circumstantial evidence. The judge reminded them they can't only rely on what the testifying janitor said, but must first believe there is some other evidence of a crime, too.
The janitor who said he witnessed something that night suffers from Dementia and couldn't testify.
The defense has argued that wasn't enough evidence to even bring charges but the judge ruled the jury would decide.
