Penn State Sandusky Trial #11 (Verdict - GUILTY!)

A jury took less than two days to find Jerry Sandusky guilty of 45 of 48 counts of child sexual abuse, but the judge will need substantially more time to decide his punishment.

It's likely that Judge John Cleland would order a pre-sentencing report, which would take anywhere from one to two months to complete.

During that time, he would be examined by the state Sexual Offenders Assessment Board to decide if he should be treated as a sexually violent predator, and prosecutors could ask the judge for a hearing.

The judge determines whether someone is a sexually violent predator - it carries stiffer reporting and treatment requirements once someone is out of prison - and can use information from the board's investigation in a sentencing decision.

If he's sentenced to state prison - which appears to be certain in this case - then Sandusky will be transferred to Camp Hill, in central Pennsylvania, which has 3,000 to 4,000 inmates, about 1,000 of whom are held temporarily for classification.

New inmates are put through a battery of medical, dental, psychiatric, psychological, vocational and educational testing, according to Department of Corrections spokeswoman Sue Bensinger, who spoke generally about a male inmate convicted in Centre County and not of Sandusky's case in particular.

He would then be placed in a state prison based on his treatment plan and the available beds. Sex offenders must undergo mandatory treatment programs, she said. A judge can request placement near an inmate's home, but the department cannot necessarily honor those requests, she said.

Age is not a factor in the placement of Sandusky, 68, but any medical conditions could be. Inmates from 18 to 79 are housed in general populations, although older inmates may be put in lower bunks and have other handicap accommodations, she said. The majority of state facilities have infirmaries.

Sandusky could still face a flurry of potential civil lawsuits from his accusers.

This is mean - but I just gotta say it: Sarge, you couldn't hear the little boy's cry for help - but, I hope you heard this verdict. The jurors heard his cries - I'm sorry you didn't.

No, your statement is not mean, Boots-OK, it is the truth and is very profound.

I have been here silently, but now just have to say I am so happy to see a jury stand united and strong for these boys. GB the boys and GB the jurors!

I am so thankful!

A mother of one of the victims was quoted as saying something like no one won, we all lost. Well I think she is exactly right and it took my breath away to even think about the victims and families. They will never get back what he took from them. Ever. There is no winning for them.

[jabberwocky]

Amendola on CNN/anderson Cooper- "Jerry never wanted a plea bargain"
Now whining about Matt Sandusky (ruining) their plan to have Jerry testify

Baloney!

 

[passionflower]

Local news here wpxitv talking about cival suits and more victims may come forward. Now are there more jerry's (friends) out there? What about the mrs?

 

[StellarsJay]

Jerryness is catching- I mean the blind goofiness, " I din't do nuthin'" like a large wet dog wagging and thinking "I will jump on this person AGAIN!"
Dorothy has it, and now Amendola, who has become "very close" in a nice way is showing the symptoms. Loss of IQ, stupid grin and Speaking in Cliches.

What heartens me is that every one of those victims was believed. Every single one got a piece of their soul back. Not one of them had all charges dismissed or found Not Guilty.

Beautiful.

The best part was seeing Jerry Sandusky in Handcuffs! Woot!

Can anyone post a screen shot of this wonderful moment.

I wonder how long until DS files for divorce?
OR IF she will...

Oh sure, he's all tears now, for himself. None shown for his victims.

Hello!!!! I just want to say thank you to all who kept this whole deal going here so I could come in and see what was going on in this case, when I could handle it. As a person who suffered being molested as a child, this guilty verdict has lifted a weight off of me.
I am not jumping for joy, but I must say that I am so glad to see him cuffed and stuffed. Finally, someone, 12 people in fact, believed those kids and handed down a verdict long over due. I know the ripples are just starting to be felt, and may the waters be calm for those victims after this storm....

 

[Jacie Estes]

I like this one, too.

 

[passionflower]

Wpxi talks about "more bombshells" expected. I wonder if this is just the first arrest? More?

 

[elepher50]

Thank you jury for doing a good job. May the victims that have come forward and any other possible victims have some measure of satisfaction. However, it will never replace or restore their lost innocence. God speed to the victims as they continue on their paths of healing as best as they can.
