Jerry Sandusky is distraught over the NCAA penalties issued to Penn State's football program for the school's handling of his child sexual abuse scandal and maintains his innocence as he awaits sentencing, his defense lawyer said Wednesday.
Attorney Joe Amendola told The Associated Press in a phone interview that Sandusky told him that even if people believe he is guilty of the crimes for which he was convicted in June, it would be "ridiculous" to think Penn State administrators engaged in a cover-up.

"He said, 'To do what they're doing to Penn State is so unjust,'" Amendola said. "He loves the program and he loves the university."
Amendola said Sandusky has asked county jail officials to remove him from what is effectively solitary confinement.
"He continues to believe that the truth will come out at some point, and that he'll get another trial or another opportunity to establish his innocence," Amendola said.

(5,756 posts)Sandusky is absolutely the last person who needs to be heard from regarding the sanctions he caused to be imposed on Penn State. Why any network or news outlet would give this man a place to be seen or heard is a mystery to me.
Of course that mystery does clear up a bit if I take the cynical route and just accede to the fact ESPN is more interested in clicks on their website - hence higher ad prices/revenue - than they are with allowing the victims of Sandusky to heal.

(26,219 posts)Guilty of 45 counts, PSU tore down Paterno's statue, 111 games stricken from the record (congrats Bobby Bowden!), 40 scholarships lost, 4 years worth of post-season blocked, $60mm to NCAA to be used for prevention of child abuse, $13mm to the Big10 in revenue sharing losses... and that doesn't even count the lawsuits lining up waiting on Schultz & Curley's trials and potentially (hopefully) Spanier's.
All that -and all this depraved fuck has to say is that "it makes him sad" and "the truth will come out"?
At what point does it crack into his thick skull that just *maybe* he did something wrong? Thank God I work with numbers and not people. I can't imagine being assigned to even feed this insane POS.
