Penn State releases statement on Sandusky trial: June 22, 2012

Today Penn State learned that a verdict was reached in the case of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Gerald Sandusky. Mr. Sandusky was found guilty of 45 of the 48 charges filed against him.

The legal process has spoken and we have tremendous respect for the men who came forward to tell their stories publicly. No verdict can undo the pain and suffering caused by Mr. Sandusky, but we do hope this judgment helps the victims and their families along their path to healing.

The Board of Trustees and current administration maintain a steadfast commitment to pursuing the truth regarding Mr. Sandusky?s actions. While we cannot change what happened, we can and do accept the responsibility to take action on the societal issue of child sexual abuse?both in our community and beyond. The University is committed to ensuring that our campuses are safe for children and to being a constructive participant in building greater awareness of child sexual abuse and the practical steps that can be undertaken to prevent, report and respond to such abuse.
The University has already established a confidential counseling process for victims of Mr. Sandusky?s conduct, and that process remains open. (For further information, please visit http://live.psu.edu/story/58590.) While counseling is critical, some victims have sought and continue to seek a direct dialogue with the University to discuss the University's responsibility for Mr. Sandusky's actions
Now that the jury has spoken, the University wants to continue that dialogue and do its part to help victims continue their path forward. To that end, the University plans to invite victims of Mr. Sandusky?s abuse to participate in a program to facilitate the resolution of claims against the University arising out of Mr. Sandusky's conduct. The purpose of the program is simple ? the University wants to provide a forum where the University can privately, expeditiously and fairly address the victims' concerns and compensate them for claims relating to the University. Counsel to the University plan to reach out to counsel to the victims of Mr. Sandusky?s abuse in the near future with additional details.

The expert defense attorney that CNN had on said he's been in that kind of situation himself. His attitude was basically, "tough [Mark May]". and that it wouldn't be a winner on appeal. I'm no lawyer myself, just passing along what I saw on TV on this topic.

The same expert said he thought the hearsay testimony of the janitor who is no longer competent to testify is more of a possibility for a successful appeal. That would only concern a handful of the charges though.

I concur with Geragos. It's not a winner on appeal. It's still bull[Mark May] though. The prosecutors had this case before a grand jury in March 2011, filed an indictment in November 2011 and were still turning over documents weeks before trial. That's like getting a 20-mile headstart in a marathon.

The hearsay is more of an appeal issue and I'm surprised the judge let it in considering the strength of the other evidence in the case. It's not worth risking a reversal to let in the janitor's statement. They already had overwhelming evidence of guilt.
