Just over a month ago, the parents of Lt. Michael Murphy somberly walked southeast until they reached College Avenue. They roamed for three blocks and then made a sharp right-hand turn onto Heister Street, where muralist Michael Pilato was patiently waiting.

A digital billboard with rotating messages has recently been erected near Harrisburg, PA.

Yesterday, a letter written by Dottie Sandusky to the then-presiding Judge John Cleland was obtained by several media outlets. The letter, dated July 9th, 2012, about three weeks after her husband was found guilty of 45 counts relating to child sexual abuse, is filled with support for her now imprisoned husband.
In a letter penned by Jerry Sandusky to Judge Cleland, he did not ask for mercy, he did not ask for leniency, and of course, he did not acknowledge any of the crimes he's been convicted of. Instead, Sandusky denieed his criminal status and claimed that his victims have fabricated and exaggerated their assertions.
On November 4th, exactly a year after Jerry Sandusky was indicted on 40 criminal charges relating to child sexual abuse, ten of Penn State's a capella clubs will host a concert benefitting the Prevent Child Abuse Pennsylvania charity.
A day after he received an essential life-long jail sentence, the Pennsylvania’s State Employees’ Retirement System (SERS) notified Sandusky that his $59,000 annual pension has been revoked.
