Jerry Sandusky wrote letters to Victim 4, other defense witness, prosecution releases text to media Prosecution says 'creepy' letters written by disgraced former Penn State football coach

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Friday, June 22, 2012, 4:44 AM Driving home the other night, I had many thoughts. Some happy, some a little sad. As you know, I am very emotional and kind of let everything out. I’m not good at hiding my feelings. I have many “Forrest Gump” qualities and I thought a lot about that more as I was driving home. As you would expect, I cried at that movie.

Jerry Sandusky Trial, Day Three: The Defense Gets Steamrolled ... Jun 13, 2012 – Accuser No. 5 was raised in a family that spoke Polish at home. He was referred to the Second Mile summer program at age 10 to help improve his English skills. At camp, Sandusky portrayed a Polish gangster in a skit, and the young boy was so mesmerized he introduced himself to the camp founder. Sandusky told him he too was Polish. Sandusky told him he too was Polish. At the defense table, Jerry Sandusky smiled broadly and bobbed his head up and down at the memory. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/06/13/jerry-sandusky-trial-day-three-the-defense-gets-steamrolled.html

I hope that they will convict the sob. but I don’t have much, if any, confidence that they will.

Nor do I. Why is the prosecution putting all this stuff out there now? Shouldn't it have gone out at trial? Sandusky's son testifying against him would've been huge.

I heard on the news yesterday that soon after getting the case, the jury asked for certain repeats of Mike McCreery’s testimony.

I don’t know what will happen but I found that encouraging, in that he is the only eyewitness to an actual incident in progress, whereas the victims all told their stories while the defense said they were making them up for money.

Focusing on McCreery right off the bat seemed to me a sign they at least knew where to focus like a laser beam...

News reports are that he didn't tell the prosecutors about the abuse until after they rested. They couldn't have reopened their case in chief, but could have used him in rebuttal. He is not relevant rebuttal unless Sandusky takes the stand and says he never abused a child. Probably why Sandusky didn't take the stand....the son would then have been an awesome rebuttal witness.

Sandusky’s son did not want to finally tell the truth but he felt compelled to as the other victims told the jury their stories.

He didn’t want to take the stand with his father sitting right there, but made clear he would, if he had to, to help convict the creep.

They were going to use him to refute Sandusky’s testimony if he dared take the stand. That’s how it would become relevant...they would ask Sandusky if he ever did anything to any of his kids like these men are alleging he did to them. He would deny it, then they would bring his son on.

They warned his lawyers that this would happen if they dared put Sandusky on the stand.

His lawyers decided not to risk that, and they ended their case.

It was a poker game and the defense folded.

It figures a perverted creep like this would like a Liberal, crap movie like Forest Gump.
I guess that tells you all you need to know about him...AND Hollywood!
Hollywood and its supporters (ticket-buyers included) exist in some unrealistic, unwholesome, miasmic dream world.

When I listen to young people and others who grew up in front of the TV and never missed a new movie, it is obvious just how much influence Hollywood and TV has on everyone. Somehow, the very real matter of ‘consequences’ resulting directly from our actions does not occur to anyone. When ‘reality’ FINALLY catches up to these people, it is usually in the form litigation of some kind... for which they are as prepared as children.

According to info I saw while searching google, the letter WAS read into the trial record by the witness on the stand who was the one Sandusky sent the letter to.

You thought the letter was hidden from the jury then released to the public?

Apparently not...it was part of the trial if what I read was correct.

You are correct..The defense brought up the histrionic personality disorder to try to explain the letters..I think the prosecution nicely rebutted that excuse..

While I cannot imagine Sandusky not being convicted..Sandusky’s previously sterling rep as a PennState great and “good, giving’ man could cause a hung jury.
All it takes is one.
Sandusky is in denial of harm he has done IMO..He “loved” them after all.
Gag

Gag is right.

He and his wife both make me physically ill.

Sandusky will not admit that he did the deeds. But that’s a seperate legal issue, in his mind.

But since he has to know he did the deeds, you are right that he has convinced himself that it was a good thing both for him and the boys.

His wife is bizarre. I say she didn’t care whether it was going on or not. She wasn’t going to face it or do anything about it, so if she didn’t know it was because she refused to know.

More likely she knew. Can’t prove it, though.

Remember when she told about the boy that didn’t want to go to the dinner with Jerry that he had already bought a $50 ticket for? It was the boy who presented a problem for Jerry, the boy who wouldn’t cooperate by going to a nice dinner with the kindly benfactor.

That was her point of view. This boy and that boy were presenting problems for Jerry for this reason or that. They were giving Jerry trouble. She couldn’t have cared less about anything from the boys’ standpoints.

No wonder the boy didn’t want to go to the dinner with Sandusky. He KNEW what went with the dinner.

Gag me with a spoon.

I heard on the news yesterday that soon after getting the case, the jury asked for certain repeats of Mike McCreery’s testimony.

They asked for Mike McQueary's testimony and the testimony of Dr. Jonathan Dranov.

The night McQueary went to his father's home, John McQueary called Dranov, who was the medical director of the clinic where John McQueary worked (for what it's worth, a medical clinic to which the Paternos had donated over $1 million).

From previous testimony, Dranov pressured McQueary three times about whether he actually saw sex. In this trial, Dranov said that Mike McQueary told him that night that he heard the sounds, saw the boy, and saw a male arm wrap around the boy and pull him out of sight. Then, according to Dranov, Mike saw Sandusky and the boy leave the showers (after Mike McQueary's locker-slamming incident).

This contradict's McQueary's testimony of seeing Sandusky in the shower with the victim.

It may just be me, but the slapping sounds, the male arm around the boy, and Sandusky leaving the shower with the boy - physicians in Pennsylvania are required to report suspected child sexual abuse under 23 Pa.C.S. § 6311.

The more Dranov downplays what he claims McQueary says, the more Dranov frees himself from failing to report suspected child sexual abuse as a physician. And for the conspiracy theorists, if Dranov has loyalty to Paterno as a major clinic supporter, getting a non-guilty verdict on the Penn State shower incident, and downplaying the 'sexual' aspect of McQueary's story at the time of the incident, helps give Paterno a pass on his inaction. It also will help Tim Curley and Gary Schultz in their trials.

I can’t either.
There are so many movies and shows I can’t watch because
of the over the top violence.

She's likely a senior citizen trying to protect her support mechanisms. If he loses, she loses - money! Ever wonder why SS is called the third rail of politics? It's because some old people would boil and serve up their progeny to keep their subsistence. Actually there's not just some; there are many - they're called AARP members.
