When will this fucker accept his punishment
HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Jerry Sandusky lost a bid for a new trial Wednesday when a judge rejected his argument that his lawyers were not given enough time to prepare for the three-week proceeding that ended with a 45-count guilty verdict.

Judge John Cleland's 27-page order said lawyers for the former Penn State assistant football coach conceded that their post-trial review turned up no material that would have changed their trial strategy.

"I do not think it can be said that either of the defendant's trial counsel failed to test the prosecution's case in a meaningful manner," Cleland wrote. "The defendant's attorneys subjected the commonwealth's witnesses to meaningful and effective cross-examination, presented evidence for the defense and presented both a comprehensive opening statement and a clearly developed closing argument."

He also rejected post-sentencing motions regarding jury instructions, hearsay testimony and other matters.

Sandusky is serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence for sexual abuse of 10 boys. He has maintained his innocence and vowed to appeal.

Sandusky lawyer Norris Gelman said Wednesday that while he had not read the decision, Cleland's ruling means the defense will appeal to mid-level Superior Court within the next 30 days.

New Pa. AG to Investigate Corbett's Handling of Sandusky Case

Keeping a campaign promise, Pennsylvania's new attorney general appointed a special deputy today to investigate Gov. Tom Corbett's handling of the Penn State child sexual abuse case and why it took so long to bring charges against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

The appointee, H. Geoffrey Moulton Jr., is "a highly respected former federal prosecutor who will assist us in providing a comprehensive and independent examination of the facts,'' Attorney General Kathleen Kane said in a news release announcing the move.

Kane, who was sworn in last month as the first woman and first Democrat to be elected attorney general, said she would make the findings public "once the facts have been uncovered," but she did not set a timeline for completing the probe nor comment further.

She had pledged during her campaign last year to investigate why it took the attorney general's office nearly three years to charge Sandusky.

Jerry Sandusky already had his day in court, I'm trying to get Joe Paterno, effectively his day in court

You know what, let's do that. Let's charge the evil dead son of a bitch, dig him up & force him to testify under oath.

(In response to a statement by one of the victim's attorneys)
I do find it interesting that they don't say anything about what happened in the shower that night, I'm not saying he wasn't abused, I'm not saying he's lying. I'm saying he's telling the truth on Nov. 9, 2011 and that Joe Paterno was railroaded here.

When I'm looking to vindicate someone, I always turn to the convicted pedophile for the real low down. Those guys are goddamned brilliant in front of juries... whether a court of law or a court of public opinion.

This one has slam dunk all over it.

FACTS! EVIDENTS!

Dooooo Process...
