...and this perp is still claiming his innocence and calling himself a "victim"! What a narcissist!

Some notes about the sentence and Judge Cleland's comments:
Regarding the Verdict:
"I'm not going to sentence you to centuries. It makes no sense for a 68-year-old man. This sentence will put you in prison for the rest of your life."
Also, some have stated it was a smart move on Judge Cleland's part because it takes away the appeal argument of the Judge throwing the book at Sandusky by sentencing him egregiously.
On the Appeal:
Judge Cleland stated for the record that even in the event that on appeal charges for Victim 8 (the excited utterance by the janitor who now suffers from dementia - defense will appeal on "hearsay" evidence) - the sentences for that particular victim are to run concurrent with other sentences, so it will not affect the minimum 30 year sentence.
To the Victims:
Probably the most poignant statement made today was by Judge Cleland when he spoke directly to the victims:
"It is for your courage and not for your assault that you will be remembered."
I have said since Jury selection that Judge Cleland is an amazing man and has handled this case at all times with extreme care, handling attorneys, the defendant, the jurors and all of the witnesses fairly and respectfully.
Thanks isn't enough Roxine. Thank you for sharing. I'm in tears now.
Jerry Sandusky delivers one final hateful, haunting response to his victims
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaaf-...ateful--haunting-response-to-his-victims.html
...........There was no acknowledgement of Sandusky's crimes, no apologies to the victims, no signs that he cared or even understood the path of destruction he left in his wake here. Sandusky maintained his innocence and vowed an appeal. Then he flaunted his depravity in open court. ...........
"An insult to human decency," McGettigan called Sandusky's statement.
"Like all conspiracy theories, it flows from the undeniable to the unbelievable," Judge Cleland scolded.
"You tried to attack us as if we had done something wrong," Victim No. 4 said to him directly. "You have no morals."
Another unwitting assault finished, Sandusky switched tactics for the second part of his plan................
"I look at those walls and I see light," Sandusky joyously declared. "I see letters of support, I see great memories. I see family and friends. I see those who overcame big obstacles."
You can't touch me, he was saying. You can't hurt me after I've lived such a righteous existence. These bars and walls and razor wire are powerless to that. Then, worst of all, he said he would remember more.
He would remember the kids.............
Go ahead and put him in prison, he was saying. He'll be thinking of them, reliving his time with them, enjoying a look back at every single act they experienced together.
What we call despicable and criminal, Jerry Sandusky calls a "blessed life." ............
The only hope is that it wasn't effective, that it won't stick with those frightened kids who became powerful men, and that the hateful, harmful words of Jerry Sandusky just drifted off into the Bellefonte air, soon to be forgotten like the shrinking pathetic man they took away on Tuesday to die.
I heard he mentioned "Seabiscuit" in his diatribe. WTF was that about???:waitasec::waitasec::waitasec:Jerry Sandusky delivers one final hateful, haunting response to his victims

That's exactly what I was hoping for too. That would be justice. We can only hope.Perhaps he has some dementia starting. That would make me happy because i don't want him reliving any of his "memories" with all that idle time :banghead:
what i found interesting is the last comment by a neighbbo that the word on the street was: "keep your boys away from Sandusky." if this is true, and why would they make it up, it is a DAMNiNG indictment of happy valley and the great penn state community.
what it means, imo. is that Freeh was absolutely correct in his assesment and that it was WAY WORSE than we know. personally i have no problem believing that. "keep your boys away from Sandusky"...imagine what that means in terms of the community at large and the athletics department and the administration in particular.

Are they keeping JS in solitary or general pop? How is he being treated?
With all due respect, why do you care? He's been dealt with and sentenced fairly, he's never getting out of prison. End of.
I don't "care", only for the fact that he has a lot of money, and money can talk in prison. I hope he is NOT getting any special treatment/privileges. :rocker:
Okay, since the mods haven't responded- I'll let you know it's against TOS to dictate what topics threads other posters post on. Obviously some of us aren't done with this case, and will not be told when to "move on"!:banghead::banghead::banghead:I don't care what he is getting in prison. Its still prison. He's there for the rest of his life, and that's that. His "victims" won, and I am slightly puzzled by the tendency of some to take a glass half empty approach about this.
Justice was done here, thanks mostly to the courage of the young men who testified against him, so why the need to obsess about him further?
He's gone, forget him.
