Pretty funny stuff....Mob scene outside chasing Lawyers.

Perhaps one of our legal eagles will explain what this means. Is he acknowledging they have enough evidence for trial??

I think you’re right...they just move on to the next step.
The victims were prepared to give statements, but he avoided all that.

Roger Cossack on Mike and Mike just said this isn’t unexpected, he has nothing to gain and would not be expected to “win” a preliminary hearing.

I am pleased he didn’t put the victims through that today. My son was a victim many years ago. The trial was not pleasant. Many kids totally messed up in the head and the less stress the better. Perp got 23 months in big house and 10 years probation. Hopefully he was bubba’s girlfriend.

Perp got 23 months in big house, 10 years probation, and has a sexual predator attached to his resume. Hopefully he was bubba’s girlfriend.

I’m so sorry your son had to go through that.

These monsters can be very prolific and many of the victims choose to not come forward.

The young men like your son and these victims in Pennsylvania deserve alot of credit for putting themselves through this so that no other boys will have to be victimized.

Interesting this one directly precedes the post about the Senate bill lifting the military bans on sodomy and beastiality.

The pedophile made some weird comment about going all 4 quarters.

Isn’t that nice? Talk about it like it’s a game.
They really need to find a muzzle for this jerk.

Nice to see they finally got him out of Penn State gear.

Yep.. however, the upside is.. with each dumbassed comment he makes, he's sealing his own conviction and the maximum punishment. He doesn't come across as someone expressing much in the way of remorse.

from the twitter feed...

“cdt_sandusky Joe Amendola has returned to the courthouse. Says credibility will be main issue in this case.”

The kids will eventually go through the wringer of character assassination.

true - and his creepy lawyer doesn’t seem to help him much at all. Which is all right with me.

I would kick in some funding.

Preliminary hearing is to determine only if the prosecution can supply evidence of all the elements of the offense charged. The Magistrate does NOT determine credibility; only the checklist of the elements of the offense.

Lawyers have different opinions on waiving the prelim. Some believe in a case like this, it is important for the testimony to be presented so that it can be preserved for impeachment at trial. Others believe it is just more negative publicity so they waive it...they're rarely won.

The arraignment is usually waived in most counties because it is just a reading of the charges, the entry of a plea and the setting of the date for the next court appearance, usually done on a form.

He is counsel for the new president right?

Or does he have a larger role than that?

Your post is evidence of why I think this was just another stunt by Amendola. He knew well ahead of time that credibility isn’t determined at the prelim, but also knew there were be plenty of reporters for his little speech in Jerry’s defense. I find it hard to believe that they just decided to waive it the night before.
