CNN is showing the podium outside the courtroom where the announcement of the verdict is going to be made. That does not look too safe or secure, given the crowd.

Amazing To Me...
Amazing To Me...
It is amazing to me that Sandusky seems to be more or less unaware that he has not only left a trail of personal destruction in a community and with his victims and their families, but on what is comparatively a minor note, that he may very well have decimated the football program he so loyally served for many years on many levels. The amount of direct and collateral damage is probably unfathomable.
He exacerbated the destruction of the legacy of his immediate superior, though Paterno failed himself, his school and his own community as well, in my estimation. Jerry Sandusky was aided, it seems, by an atmosphere of complicity, so there was a failure of humanity among the decision-makers at Penn State, and all to preserve the reputation of a program. Whatever the sentence, he's done more damage to his own community than the most powerful ICBM, in my opinion.
EDIT: New York Times and MSNBC reporting that Sandusky was found guilty on 45 of 48 counts and has been placed into custody. He is going to prison, never to be seen in public again. Good.

However, it is important to note that Sandusky could serve as little as 60 years. And his sentences could be served concurrently.
Not that this is going to happen. He will be locked up forever, and the world is a safer place for it.

Concurrently, meaning that his sentences could be served all together. So if the longest prison term he is granted is 10 years, and all of his sentences are served concurrently, then he would walk out after 10 years.
I have no expectation that this will happen in the least, but I do raise it as a possibility.

While that's true, it's only true because in our system people sit on death row for decades and we have to pay all of their legal expenses incurred during this time. Also feed them and all that nice stuff.

Social Security doesn't allow you to collect benefits while in prison, and I imagine most state pension plans have similar restrictions, although I've never checked. Even if he does keep collecting while in jail, the coming civil lawsuits are going to make sure he doesn't get to spend it.

They did kinda have to go through 48 charges. Even if it only takes 20 minutes per charge it's 16 hours worth of deliberation. My concern was that all the charges that had victims had no witnesses, and all the charges that had witnesses had no victims.

Death penatly takes too long
Death penatly takes too long
Death penatly takes too long and costs too much money. For capitol offenses and the like, lifetime solitary seems to be a better idea. Just need to streamline the prisons and fix the CJS such that the overcrowding is significantly reduced. In a lifetime solitary situation, costs could be significantly reduced if done right.
