Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett has released a statement regarding the conviction of Jerry Sandusky on 45 counts of child sexual abuse.
Penn State has released a statement about the guilty verdict in the Jerry Sandusky case, one of a slough given by, for instance, Tom Corbett and the Paterno family.
It's over.
After just over 21 hours, the verdict is in. Jerry Sandusky has been convicted of 45 counts stemming from child abuse committed over the last two decades.
At 9:57 p.m., the jury foreman slowly approached the microphone, and delivered the verdict.
On June 11 in the Centre County Courthouse, one of the most anticipated trials in Pennsylania history -- Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Gerald A. Sandusky -- began. Onward State will be in the courtroom for its entirety, frequently updating this page with our updates and reactions, as well as the @OnwardState Twitter feed, as courtroom regulations allow.
It stands to reason that anyone sympathetic to Jerry Sandusky might be a little uneasy right now during jury deliberation, considering the fact that Mr. Sandusky faces 48 counts of sexual abuse -- charges that most people think will put him in jail for the rest of his life.
Not Karl Rominger.
Well what do you know, Penn State picked up another meaningless party accolade.
