After a three day recess, court resumed Monday morning in Bellefonte. Proceedings began with arguments from both sides, after the defense asked for most of the 52 charges to be dropped, citing lack of evidence after hearing from all of the known alleged victims.

There's a reason the prosecution saved Victim 9 for last.
In what was possibly the most graphic and disturbing testimony yet, Victim 9 -- the final victim to testify that has been identified from the Grand Jury Report -- told the jury that Jerry Sandusky had abused him over several years.

The first witness to testify after the lunch recess was Anthony Sassano, an agent at the Attorney General's office. He was assigned to the investigation in April or May of 2009 as part of a mutual investigation with the Pennsylvania State Police.

Victim 3 -- as he is known in the Grand Jury report -- testified this afternoon before lunch recess.

Victim 6, now 25, testified that he met Jerry Sandusky at a Second Mile picnic in 1998. Soon after, in May of 1998, Victim 6 testifies that he was invited by Sandusky to go workout at a gym on Penn State's campus.

“I will over rule the defense and permit the Commonwealth to present its evidence.”
Those were the words of Judge John Cleland, after hearing arguments about admitting testimony from a colleague of a former janitor at the Lasch football building. The Grand Jury report references Victim 8 -- yet to be identified -- who was allegedly seen giving oral sex to Sandusky in the shower by a Lasch building janitor. That janitor has dementia, but Judge Cleland allowed heresy evidence to be heard from a colleague who was in the building on the night of the alleged abuse.
