“Jerry Sandusky is a big overgrown kid,” Amendola said. “He’s a jock, and for anybody who’s ever played sports, you get showers after you work out.”

BELLEFONTE — Jerry Sandusky’s attorney is insisting that the shower incident that Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary testified he witnessed in 2002 actually happened in 2001, a discrepancy he said undermines McQueary’s credibility.
Joe Amendola said Sandusky vividly recalls the incident, although he said it did not involve sexual activity.
“Jerry is adamant that the time frame involved was really 2001, and probably, probably in February of 2001,” Amendola said. “We didn’t want to talk about that before the preliminary hearings for (Tim) Curley and for (Gary) Schultz because we wanted to make sure that Mike McQueary was pinned down as to what he was saying as to the time involved in this.”
He said the time frame has been corroborated by other people at Penn State, who he declined to identify.

“He says he can recall it vividly because it was one of the rare times he was in there at night,” Amendola said. “And most importantly, he said he had just interviewed for the Virginia head coaching job.”
Amendola said Sandusky said he interviewed for the football job at the University of Virginia in January 2001.
Centre Daily Times archives show that Sandusky interviewed for the job on Dec. 20, 2000.
It was not long after, Amendola said, that Sandusky remembers being in the shower with a boy after a workout. The boy was “surfing” around in the showers while the shower-heads were running, Amendola said.
McQueary testified that he went to the Lasch Building on a Friday evening around 9 or 9:30 in March 2002, and heard what he thought were sounds associated with sex coming from a locker room shower. McQueary said he looked into the shower once through a mirror and saw Sandusky with a boy.

I didn’t shower with that boy in 2002, I showered with him in 2001, I distinctly remember the day...
Well golly gee, if he raped a boy in the shower in 2001 instead of 2002 then I guess it’s okay! He should be released immediately.
I think Jerry Sandusky will say pretty much anything to save his hide in jail. Anything to cast doubt. I still think he’s a pedophile because he admits he showered naked with little boys. He’s a disgusting pervert.
I like the way you phrased that. Sandusky and his lawyer aren’t fooling anyone.
I take that back. Several will be fooled. (sigh)
I wonder who will testify to this difference of dates in Sandusky's defense? Himself? If that happens, I can't wait for Sandusky to be cross-examined on the witness stand. Surely the prosecution will have a field day with anyone testifying for Sandusky.
Sandusky: “Your honor, by 2002 that boy was too old for me, so McQueary must be lying”
TSandusky’s attorney’s best bet is to see if the Casey Anthony jury is still available.
Bottom line: Sandusky and his skeevy lawyer have to find a way to undercut McQueary’s credibility. It doesn’t have to be the truth. There’s always a juror who will trip over “reasonable doubt”.
Not only must McQueary be lying, but so must Curley, who testified to the grand jury that he heard about this “event” from then grad assistant McQueary in 2002. Wouldn’t the records have been corrected if there was a discrepancy before issuing the grand jury report? I would hope so.
Perhaps Jerry has admitted to his lawyer of another incident with an even different child.
For those interested based on previous threads, comments, & replies...ping.
A grown adult male taking a shower with a little boy is sexual activity.

I completely agree. That alone is a sexual crime.
I doubt it.
“Jerry Sandusky is a big overgrown kid,” Amendola said. “He’s a jock, and for anybody who’s ever played sports, you get showers after you work out.”
Sorry dude but their is zero question that you client is a sick demented pervert.......................
What a creepy freak. That he can remember the crime and the date is an admission that it was a joyful occasion for him. Castrate him, make him eat his own testicles, then roast him slowly over an open flame. Demented and evil must be punished in this society.
