Can anybody who understands the PA judicial system explain to me why it will take three months to sentence somebody who was just convicted of multiple counts of raping children? Three months? Why?

A few years back, I was on a jury in a murder trial. After we convicted him, the judge already had him sentenced to life without parole by the time we got our personal effects out of the jury room. As I was heading for the parking lot, the convicted murderer was already on his way to state prison to spend the rest of his life.

It just bothers me that this process is going to drag out another three months while Sandusky enjoys the summer in County jail (where he will get much better treatment than he would in a state prison - where he belongs today).
