Governor Corbett Offers Statement on Sandusky Guilty Verdict
Harrisburg Governor Tom Corbett today released the following statement on the conviction of Jerry Sandusky in Centre County Court:
First, I want to thank the jury for their willingness to serve on such a difficult case, Corbett said.
I also want to commend the multiple victims in this case who had the courage to come forward and testify in court, confronting Sandusky, and proving beyond a reasonable doubt that he is guilty of these reprehensible crimes, Corbett said.
The agents and prosecutors of the Attorney Generals Office, as well as the Pennsylvania State Police, also deserve a great deal of credit for todays verdict. They pursued every lead, gathering evidence from multiple victims, in order to bring this man to justice, Corbett said.
