I know the juror's are sequestered but things happen. If they hear about this, is there a risk of a mistrial? Feeling a little paranoia creep in.

Updated timeline re Matt Sandusky:
(Amendola wonders how Jerry could have turned into a full-bore pedo at age 55. He's about 46 when he focusses on Matt. Who was earlier?)
Excellent article posted by WM: placed into the Timeline chronology, it** shows :
1977: Jerry Sandusky, recently promoted to defensive coordinator at Penn State, forms "The Second Mile," an organization with the mission of helping troubled young boys, particularly those from absent or dysfunctional families.
Jan. 1, 1982: Penn State wins its first national championship with a 27-23 win over No. 1 Georgia.
**Sales from his football book, “Developing Linebackers,” provided the seed money, along with donations and celebrity golf tournaments that would soon become an annual affair.
**In 1981, The Second Mile bought a 20-acre plot on Bernel Road for $64,000.
** 1982: The next year, the state licensed The Second Mile to serve as a private foster care agency.
** By October 1982, at least three foster children – all boys, ages 10 to 18 -- lived in the house. An article in The Daily Collegian, the Penn State newspaper, described a typical day: Doing chores, playing games and going on picnics with the house parents, a couple chosen by Sandusky and The Second Mile. Each resident had a member of the Penn State football team as a mentor.
**In 1983, The Second Mile hired Jack Raykovitz, who had recently finished his Ph.D. in school psychology at Penn State. In its early days, Raykovitz ran the day-to-day operations of the charity, which included week-long camps -- first for boys, then also for girls -- on the Penn State campus. He signed off on licensing documents for the foster care agency. For a short time, state records show, he also provided psychological counseling to some of the foster children.
M 1985 or 86: Matthew Sandusky had joined The Second Mile around age 7, along with his younger brother, Ron Heichel, a bigger and more rambunctious kid than shy and reserved Matt. Hiechel later says he was jealous of the attention Jerry paid to Matt.
1986: Jerry Sandusky is named Assistant Coach of the Year (says Wikipedia)
Jan. 2, 1987: Sandusky's punishing defense intercepts Heisman-winning quarterback Vinny Testaverde five times, lifting Penn State to a 14-10 upset of No. 1 Miami and the school's second national title.
October 1987: In an interview with NBC News, Sandusky discusses his affinity for working with children: "I enjoy being around children. I enjoy their enthusiasm. I just have a good time with them."
1988: Jack Reykovitz becomes President of Second Mile
In 1988, records show the charity stopped actively operating as a foster care agency, but it kept its license active through 2011
M 1989: Sandusky entered the lives of the Longs as a mentor when Matt was 10 years old, via The Second Mile charity
November 1990: Praise for The Second Mile's work with children is widespread. President George H.W. Bush names The Second Mile one of his 1,000 points of light.
1993: In Touched, JS says that when Matt was entering eighth grade JS convinced Matt’s mother to an agreement whereby Matt would study and spend time with the Sanduskys. In exchange for which he would be rewarded with money, part of which was to go into a college fund for him, and part of which was to be cash in hand. Matt would have to sign a contract. (see pg 101 of Touched)
For a while Matt did better in school, then slid back after he goes to the Orlando Citrus Bowl with Jerry and family. At a baseball game, Matt`s mother and her boyfriend ended the contract and it was difficult for Jerry to see Matt. P 101, Touched
Dec 30, 1993: Tim Curley named Director of Athletics
1994: Sandusky meets one of his earliest alleged victims, a 10-year-old boy identified as Victim 7, through the Second Mile program. Several years later, Sandusky invites the boy to football games at Penn State and State College Area High School, according to a grand jury report.

M January 1995: Matt is 16. Jerry Sandusky was in Los Angeles preparing for the 1995 Rose Bowl game when he made calls back to Centre County and arranged for Matt to move to Sandusky’s house directly from juvenile detention, where Matt was being held after his arrest for setting fire to a barn
In `Touched`the person who arranged Matt`s placement is said to be Tim Janoko. Janoko was a football player for Sandusky and became his close friend. He started and led a chapter of Second Mle and was a Director of TSM in 2011. P102 Touched. Janoko visited Matt in detention and said he wanted to be l=placed with the Sanduskys.

About four months after moving to the Sandusky home, Matt attempted suicide with a girl living at the Sandusky home. [A commenter says the girl was Dottie’s niece, which makes more sense than Kara, and it doesn’t sound as if they were fostering girls.]
Police records… show that Matt ran away in 1996.
In a letter from school-based probation officer, Terry Trude expressed concerns about Matt’s placement with the Sandusky’s, even though he acknowledged that Matt should remain in foster care.
Sandusky wrote that after Matt attempted suicide, “It got to the point where the authorities were going to take him away from us, but fortunately two people stepped in and, in our eyes, saved that young man’s life.”
One was a psychologist, (Dr. Fox) who wrote a letter telling the judge that Matt should go back into the Sandusky home. Matt wrote a similar letter to the judge asking to return. The other person was Judge Grine, now retired.
A school probation officer, Terry Trude, wrote a letter voicing concern about Matt’s safety, days after the 1996 suicide attempt, saying he did not believe the Sandusky home was the appropriate place for Matt.
[Reviewing the case, an expert says that not many foster homes would take a fire starter.]

** Fall 1996: Sandusky meets an 8-year-old boy identified in the grand jury report as Victim 5 at a Second Mile camp on the Penn State campus.

(Later amended to say contact with Victim 5 began in August 2001)
October 1996 Starts contact with Victim 4 which continues to December 2000: Sandusky becomes close with a 12-year-old identified in the grand jury report as Victim 4, who is in his second year of the Second Mile program. victim) he could be a walk-on player at Penn State," and the boy appeared in a linebacker video featuring Sandusky, and a photo accompanying an article about Sandusky in Sports Illustrated, the report says.
M 1997/8 When Matt turns adult at 18, and no longer “belongs” to his mother, Sandusky adopts him. Presumably this gets his college paid for by Jerry’s status at Penn. At least some of Matt’s files are sealed.
** 1996-1998: Sandusky takes Victim 5, between 8 and 10 years old at the time, to the Penn State football facility for a workout, according to the grand jury report.

University Police and Child Protective Services investigate, with the support of Wendell Courtney, the university counsel who later served as counsel to The Second Mile. The mother of the boy confronts Sandusky at her home as a university police detective and a municipal police detective listen in on the conversation. Sandusky admits the inappropriate conduct, telling the mother: "I was wrong. I wish I could get forgiveness. I know I won't get it from you. I wish I were dead." He makes a similar admission to an investigator with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. The university police detective advises Sandusky not to shower with a child again, and Sandusky promises he would not. No charges are filed.
** May 13, 1998: Detectives listen in as the mother of Victim 6 confronts Sandusky about showering with her son and the effect it had on her son. She asks Sandusky if he had sexual feelings when he hugged her naked son. Sandusky admits showering with other boys as well, but refuses to promise that he never to shower with a boy again. The mother of Victim 6 asks Sandusky if his "private parts" touched Victim 6 when he hugged him. Sandusky says, "I don't think so ... maybe."
But in 1998, according to a grand jury report, Victim No. 6, who is now 24, told his mother he had showered with Sandusky in Penn State's Holuba Hall.

** Jan. 1, 1999: Sandusky coaches in Penn State's 26-14 win over Kentucky in the Outback Bowl. Victim 4 tells investigators he traveled to the bowl game with Sandusky's family party. The same boy said he often stayed with Sandusky and the team at the Toftrees resort near the Penn State campus the night before home games and accompanied Sandusky to charity outings.

Victim 4 testified before a grand jury that Sandusky showered him with gifts and the victim accompanied Sandusky to the 1998 Outback Bowl in Tampa and the 1999 Alamo Bowl in San Antonio.
Sometime here, Victim 4 is in shower, Matthew Sandusky leaves him alone with Jerry. This would make Matthew 18 or 19?
During testimony last week, an accuser known as Victim 4 said Matt Sandusky was living at the Sandusky home at the time he stayed there overnight.
When asked by prosecutors whether Jerry Sandusky ever engaged him in a soap battle in the showers, he recounted the time when he and Matt Sandusky had been playing racket ball. After they were done, he said, they went back to a locker room. Matt got undressed and got into the shower and then Victim 4 and Sandusky followed him in there, he testified.
"Me and Jerry came in. He started pumping his hand full of soap," he said.
At that point, Matt shut off his shower and left and went to another locker room to shower, the witness said.
Asked by prosecutors about Matt's facial expression when the soap battles started, he replied: "Nervous."

He retires in 1999 at age 55. Paterno was then 72.

I really can't compare every trial to the CA trial. That jury was ***ked from the get go.
Because of all the false convictions in the 80's I think jury's are more cautious about believing accusers willy nilly. That is my fear here. Also juror #7. I think he should have been excused. jmo

That's a good point. I thought Dranov pretty much backed up McQ's testimony but SportsByBrooks kinda freaks me out because he said Dranov did the opposite and instead downplayed McQ and this is all good for Sandusky, so I'm worried.... :/
Also, why are people worried about juror 7? I didn't pay much attention to comments about the jurors, unless they were said while I was watching IS.

Helpful LA Times article...
http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-sandusky-jurors-20120621,0,1215453.story
"Juror 7: A Penn State rising senior, who showed up to jury selection wearing a Penn State archery T-shirt. He works for the athletic department part-time, in the multi-sports facility. In high school, Juror 7 played for Steve Turchetta, the now-assistant principal who hired Sandusky as a volunteer assistant. Juror 7’s cousin played on the Penn State football team for six years. "Being a student, I hear everything,” he said in court. “The whole outrage. Nothing specific." He also said, “It's a lot of people's faults. Joe did a few things he shouldn't have." But he said he could set his feelings aside for the trial."
---
Juror 7 was also reported as looking at the witnesses who came back to court today for closing arguments (saw/heard this live from Jean Casarez on IS after it went to the jury, sorry no link!), and as appearing distracted during some of the closing arguments from both the defense & pros, if I recall correctly. (Looking up, stretching legs, doodling--will look for links.)

These 2 tweets made me feel better, at least they are really working at it and not wanting to go to ballgames and see movies:

At 8:30 p.m., jurors walk in to the courtroom, looking serious and tired. There is not a verdict yet.

I recall that #7 was fidgeting and restless during Amendola's passionate closing argument. And, he was chewing a hangnail...
I got the impression he was getting anxious about the task ahead. jmo
IIRC Dranov testified that McQ was more shaken and upset than he had ever seen him. Dranov said McQ's voice was trembling, his hands were trembling, he was visibly shaking. Dranov said when asked McQ what happened he would continue to get visibly upset.

He deserves whatever he wants, lol! don't know if it's been posted before but happened to find a good background article about McGettigan today by Ganim:
Jerry Sandusky trial: Prosecutor is used to the spotlight
http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2012/06/jerry_sandusky_prosecutor_is_u.html
WHO IS HE: McGettigan, 64, is probably most well-known for his prosecution 15 years ago of the multimillionaire John E. du Pont, accused of killing an Olympic wrestler at his home. The wealthy heir pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and spent an estimated $14 million on a defense. McGettigan, who was a first assistant prosecutor in Delaware county, got a third-degree murder conviction.
THE TV STAR: McGettigan has a pretty good excuse for those moviestar sunglasses hes always wearing. He is, well, a star. OK, maybe not a star. But the prosecutor hasnt always channeled his talent into a courtroom. Already a lawyer, he spent time living in Hollywood as a legal consultant, writing for the one-season television series Philly, about a defense attorney in a small Philadelphia law firm. He had a small role as a detective in one episode before it was canceled.

I agree. I find it somewhat comforting that he says multiple people were in the wrong here. He says even Paterno made a mistake. My cousin just finished his first year at Penn State and it seems to me that even students know Sandusky is guilty. The outrage was more about Paterno being fired.
It does bother me that so many of the jurors have a connection with Penn State, but let's hope school pride gets put to the side here!

See, that's what I thought but SportsbyBrook is just flipping out and he is hugely disgusted with Dranov but I thought he made it clear that mcQ reported something sexual had occured and he was deeply upset. I'm not sure where he was contridicted.
I watched Rock Center. This latest victim is very convincing. The reporter said that there is a second group of young men that came forward after the current trial indictments. If he is acquitted they will go after him with the next group of victims. My guess is that Matt will be included in that group, should it become necessary.
