attorney general reads like a case study how not to investigate a serial pedophile, sparked by allegations of politics delayed arrest and conviction of penn state football coach jerry sandusky. here is how the attorney general kathleen cane summarized the finding. this report found no direct evidence, no e-mail, confession, statement from anybody indicating that they were told to slow this down because of politics. this report also shows long periods of inexcusable, by inexcusable i mean even the parties involved couldn t offer an excuse for the delays. and, delays that quite honestly are unfathomable to most of us. according to the report, investigators at different agencies repeatedly failed to coordinate their efforts. three years went by before san dus yek w sandusky was convicted. he was sentenced to 30 to 60 years. throughout it all, dottie sandusky stood by him. and jason carroll spoke to her.
the most charitable explanation of his wife is he could have been manipulating her as well. lying to her? i thought about that. i think you are right. i have interviewed pedophiles in my line of work. and they are master manipulator as most good criminals are, that s why they re able to reoffend. that s part of it. i think part of it when you interview and you speak to wives of pedophiles part of it is my goodness, if i married this man, what is wrong with me? there is that, i think self blame. a failed mother. a failed wife. i think it is more about that quite frankly. than manipulation. hard to believe you can live with somebody for 35 years and not have some sort of suspicion that something is going on? you know, i think in a case like this. and in many of the cases that i tried. i don t believe that they didn t have some where in the depths of their soul some sort of worry. and some sort of feeling. showering with boys. she is saying, well he was working out with the boys
that. denial is just a classic response. it is terribly common. i think what is so odd about this particular case is there is overwhelming evidence of his guilt. generally when i tried these sex crimes, child sex crimes, you have no witnesses or you have one witness or you have a child self-reporting. now you have someone, not one, but 26 people, you have dottie having been in the courtroom, her own adopted son says, this happened. and in the face of all of that, there is still this remarkable denial. the pedophiles that i have interviewed and, spent time with, are really the most manipulative people i have ever met. in many cases, some of them grab kids. some of them groom kids over a length of time. jerry sandusky certainly seemed to have done. the most charitable explanation of his wife is he could have been manipulating her as well. lying to her? i thought about that. i think you are right. i have interviewed pedophiles in my line of work. and they are master manipulator
you ve got the light winds and the clear skies. our wind will be picking up today with a cold front, turning bees breezy by noontime. at 5:00 as we get into the evening hours. partly breezy, and gusty. no rain with it. so today kind of like yesterday, just a little windy. danella? i m checking on things in virginia. i-95. your first 4 chopper report, that s where we re heading right now. southbound nice and clear really from dale city to the beltway. and road work looks to be completely over. a live look as you make your way past the occoquan northbound, a little volume as you head towards the beltway. nothing you can t handle in your travel speed, excellent. about 61 miles per hour. 11 minutes to get from the occoquan to the beltway, and continuing on 395, no problems there. nice and clear as well. from duke, no issues as you head over the 14th street bridge really in both directions northbound and southbound, you re clear. i m back in ten with a look at your rails. aaron,
just about 23 miles above the earth, where he was set to jump. but here s the big but. the but is that the winds blowing against this super thin material here of this balloon, just too, too much, far too dangerous for him. i want to go straight to the ground to cnn s brian todd who is in roswell, new mexico. and, brian, just sitting around the newsroom, we were all sort of crest fallen, anticipating this hopefully history being made. set the scene for me there on the ground. disappointment. reporter: it sure is, brooke. we re all about as deflated that is balloon is right now. we can show you that balloon, our photo journalist mike love will try to zoom into it. the balloon is deflated on the ground over there. that was essentially the reason that this mission had to be aborted today. once they got the thing almost inflated, it looked like it was fully inflated, the winds started really whipping it around. i would say fairly severely. surface winds that came upon, i guess,
