the defense made a very strong last ditch effort to try to raise as much doubt as they can about jerry sandusky s guilt. anyone who has listened to the case from any distance is wondering why is it taking so long to reach a guilty verdict, which middle east people think is going to happen. the defense attorney has said this is a big conspiracy, he took the alleged victims in a group and said how could it be that all of these ten young men now, who were young boys then, how could they be telling essentially the same story? he alleged a conspiracy involving them, their attorneys out to make mmoney, so on and s forth. the proskurtds have insists this was a pattern over 15 years, at least, there s also new allegations against jerry sandusky that have been surfacing including one of his adopted sons who came out pub c publicly and said he is a victim of his own father s sexual abuse over a period of time.
there was probably a reason and that s back to what we talked about on your show earlier is i d like an investigation into just how many people, whether it s law enforcement, university, football program, who knew about this. well, there will be civil cases coming and more criminal cases. there be. and also lawsuits. one of sandusky s adopted sons released a statement just last night that the jerry sandusky abused him. is there any chance that information like that could get back to a skooe sequestered jury and the timing of it, apparently his adopted son met with prosecutors this week. attorneys met with prosecutors and explained what happened to him. yeah. this complicates it even further. well, i think the prosecutors actually approached the judge about whether or not he could testify. but also, they retained several other cases so if something happened in this case, if he was acquitted across the board, they ve got other cases and here now we know that his adopted son
but i truly believe you would find. there were numerous people here that were given information and did not act on it. and beyond the number that we know, i m sure. we are waiting the verdict of the jury in the jerry sandusky trial. let s go now to ron allen outside the courthouse in bellefonte, pennsylvania. ron, i would imagine that the anticipation by the crowd is rather intense right now. yes, it s relatively small courtroom. i don t know perhaps a couple of hundred people. there s an overflow room where more reporters are waiting. perhaps you can see behind me, there is a huge array of media here standing here waiting, there s a podium just beyond that crowd. and that is where we expect the attorney general, the prosecutors to come out, the defense to come out and makera, after this is all decided. it is quite a night here. it s an electric night. we spent a couple days here
unable to have contact with the outside world, outside media, telephones, families, locked up in a room to try to deliberate and try to figure out the case, the very emotional case that has weighed heavily on the community, on penn state university, on the entire surrounding state of pennsylvania, for that matter. again, as you said, there are some 48 counts, 48 criminal counts that jerry sandusky faces. there are ten accusers, ten alleged victims. that s why it may take some time for the judge, the clerk of the court to read down the charge sheet to explain what all the charges are. with ten alleged victims, there are five charges involving one, four involving the other, some of the charges are more serious than the others. but the rules s that the courts put in place is that they we can not publicly tell you what the charges are until all of the charges have been read in court and court is adjournadjourned. it s a very emotional process.
