Jerry Sandusky's Defense Attorney

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky has been convicted and will face life in prison following his conviction late Friday of sexually assaulting 10 boys over 15 years.  This sex scandal shook the storied football program to the core and caused the school to fire former legendary coach Joe Paterno and former University president Graham Spanier.  Sandusky, 65, was led from the courtroom in handcuffs after being found guilty in 45 of 48 counts.  Sentencing will take place in about three months but mandatory minimums will keep him behind bars for life. 

There were only three acquittals among the charges related to 10 victims.  Eight of them took to the stand to describe forced oral sex, fondling, and anal rape.  Many of the accusers testified they had told nobody of the abuse--not even parents, girlfriends, and not police. 

This is absolutely horrifying.  Sandusky should definitely be behind bars for life where he can't rob another boy's innocence ever again.  To read the full story, click on the above link from FoxNews.com.
