Jerry Sandusky soon to face accusers in child sexual abuse trial

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/sc-nw-sandusky-trial-20120603,0,3605760.story

........As many as eight young men will confront the retired Penn State assistant football coach from the witness stand in the coming weeks and tell a jury their accounts of the abuse they allege he committed over the course of 13 years.

After jury selection, set to begin Tuesday and conclude later in the week, prosecutors are likely to open with the most visceral testimony they have, lawyers familiar with the case say........

Retired federal prosecutor Seth Weber said that although Sandusky's lawyers had identified weak spots in the state's case, it is clear the prosecutors have confidence in their evidence........

And although Sandusky's attorneys have received thousands of pages of investigative documents from prosecutors, Sandusky gave up his right to hear the state's witnesses testify before trial. That puts defense attorneys Joe Amendola and Karl Rominger at a disadvantage, not knowing how the prosecution witnesses will hold up to cross-examination.........

Sandusky's lawyers have signaled that in addition to trying to discredit his accusers, they intend to present Sandusky as a victim of a conspiracy among the accusers to fabricate allegations of abuse. The accusers, Amendola has said, intended to cash in with civil suits against Penn State.

Sandusky judge denies accusers' bid for pseudonyms

http://www.centurylink.net/news/read.php?rip_id=<D9V6BUN80@news.ap.org>&ps=1011&page=1

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — Alleged victims of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky will have to testify using their real names, and tweets or other electronic communications by reporters will not be permitted during the trial, the judge ruled Monday.........

"Arguably any victim of any crime would prefer not to appear in court, not to be subjected to cross-examination, not to have his or her credibility evaluated by a jury — not to put his name and reputation at stake," the judge wrote. "But we ask citizens to do that every day in courts across the nation."

Media organizations, including The Associated Press, typically do not identify people who say they were sexually abused.
-------

Cleland has not ruled on defense motions to have some or all of the charges thrown out, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has not ruled on a motion by Sandusky filed late Friday that requests a delay in the start of trial.

The court's docket indicated that Sandusky was asking for "extraordinary relief" and a court official said the file was sealed and unavailable for inspection.

Wow, the reporters are going to have to go "old school" to give us what we want! LOL I wonder if anybody knows shorthand anymore??? I imagine that even taking notes on a keyboard would be taboo because of all the dang noise it would make. Hmmmmm This will be interesting.

I'm sorry these young men are not going to be able to conceal their identities, but thankfully, in this country, you can change your name if you want to. If I were them, I'd be thinking up a new one right about now. :( JMO

Jury selection to begin in Sandusky trial

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/jury-selection-begin-sandusky-trial-215048230--ncaaf.html

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) Picking 12 people to decide Jerry Sandusky's fate in the child-molestation case that brought down coach Joe Paterno and scandalized Penn State could prove a monumental task in a county where practically everyone went to the university, works there, knows someone there or is a fan of the football team.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - June 4, 2012 (WPVI) -- Multiple sources tell Action News defense attorneys for Jerry Sandusky have received a target letter from federal investigators, which means he is now at the center of a federal investigation.

Sources tell Action News the investigation centers around Victim 4 in the state's case. Federal investigators are probing Jerry Sandusky for allegedly taking the child across state lines to engage in sex.
-------

A target is a person whom the prosecutor or grand jury has substantial evidence linking him or her to the commission of a crime.

The letter means the feds believe they have substantial evidence and an indictment is likely.

Andreozzi expects his client [Victim 4] to be the first on the stand when the state trial begins next week

"I think it's fair to say he's extremely anxious to get this over with; this has been the most difficult time of his life," Andreozzi said.

Is the trial going to be televised (like on In Session)? Does anyone know?

I wonder if Sandusky will go to federal trial once state trial is over. Federal charges are very serious.
 
Here is the first of four posts of a Sandusky-Penn State timeline I have pasted together. The framework is a very good sports media account that provides a vivid contrast between Sandusky's public and private lives. Not only was he a busy boy, there's a feeling of manic outbursts when the sports victories and the assaults are joined.

Police records&#8230; show that Matt ran away in 1996.
In a letter the school-based probation officer, Terry Trude, expressed concerns about Matt&#8217;s placement with the Sandusky&#8217;s, even though he acknowledged that Matt should remain in foster care.

One was a psychologist, (Dr. Fox) who wrote a letter telling the judge that Matt should go back into the Sandusky home. Matt wrote a similar letter to the judge asking to return. The other person was Judge Grine, now retired.

1997/8 When Matt turns adult at 18, and no longer &#8220;belongs&#8221; to his mother, Sandusky adopts him. Presumably this gets his college paid for by Jerry&#8217;s status at Penn. At least some of Matt&#8217;s files are sealed.
1996-1998: Sandusky takes Victim 5, between 8 and 10 years old at the time, to the Penn State football facility for a workout, according to the grand jury report. Afterward, the boy tells investigators, Sandusky takes him to the sauna and pushes him "about a little bit," then showers with the boy.

Victim 2 Corrected dates:
February 9, 2001: Mike McQueary, a 28-year-old graduate assistant coach, walks into the football facility around 9:30 p.m. to put away new sneakers and pick up recruiting videos.

He looks in the shower and sees a naked boy about 10 years old, identified in the report as Victim 2, with his hands up against the wall as Sandusky sexually assaults him. McQueary leaves immediately, according to the report, but McQueary says later that he stopped the abuse first before leaving.

February 10, 2001: McQueary calls Paterno and then visits Paterno's home and tells him what he saw in the locker room. Paterno tells the grand jury that McQueary appeared upset, according to the report.
February 11, 2001: Paterno invites Curley, his immediate supervisor, to his home and tells him that McQueary had seen Sandusky in the football complex fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy, the report says.

End of February 2001: Curley tells McQueary the university has stripped Sandusky of his locker room keys, directed him not to use Penn State facilities with young people and reported the incident to the Second Mile. In later testimony before the grand jury, Curley says he relayed McQueary's report to Spanier and admits that the ban on Sandusky using campus facilities was not enforceable. The campus police never question McQueary, according to the report, and the matter appears to go dormant.

Aug. 5, 2001: Sandusky, Sue Paterno and other prominent community members lobby Little League baseball to allow the State College American All-Star team's honorary captain, a boy with Down's Syndrome, to sit with the team in the dugout when it plays in Williamsport.

Thanks again, StellarsJay...I had no idea that after the 1998 investigation was droppped and he retired, that Sandusky received so many awards and recognitions. Guess he thought it was all behind him and he could now do what he liked.

3 jurors picked for Sandusky child sex abuse trial

http://www.centurylink.net/news/rea...ass&action=2&lang=en&_LT=UNLC_USNWU00L2_UNEWS

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — Three of the 16 jurors and alternates needed for former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky's child sex abuse trial were selected Tuesday morning as the high-profile case got under way in earnest after months of legal wrangling and intense publicity.

One of two middle-aged women selected told the court she's been a Penn State football season-ticketholder since the 1970s and that her husband works for the medical group where the father of key witness Mike McQueary previously worked. A 24-year-old man was also selected.........

Judge John Cleland told the more than 220 potential jurors he would not sequester them, meaning they can spend nights at home during the trial that is expected to last several weeks..........

Sandusky is attending jury selection, and laughed at some of Cleland's humorous remarks to potential jurors. But when Cleland told the pool the nature of the charge, Sandusky put his head down..............

Some of the alleged victims are expected to testify during the trial, the opening of which is likely to begin on Monday morning. Cleland said the trial may last three weeks.
