Ex-Penn State coach Sandusky appeals child sex convictions

(Reuters) - Former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky appealed
his child sex abuse convictions on Thursday, with his lawyers arguing
they lacked time to prepare for the high-profile case.

Sandusky's attorneys also asked that the convictions be tossed out or
a new trial be held because prosecutors lacked evidence to convict him
and statutes of limitations had run out.

Statues of limitations have a place, but not in sex abuse cases against kids.

Kind of makes me wonder if he's so fucked up he really thinks he's innocent.

“In short the NCAA says that in exchange for an agreement that the $60 million dollars the school was fined will be spent only in Pennsylvania to address child abuse there, the 112 wins that had been stricken from the records of the school — including the 111 wins erased from the record of coach Joe Paterno, all the victories after the first time police were called by a parent about Sandusky showering with their child and Penn State’s damnable coverup really began — all those victories will now be restored and Paterno will again become the winningest coach in major college football history, because of course, he was the real victim here.

It is hard to believe that the NCAA and the school could take the most nauseating, the most horrifying, the most indefensible institutionalization of corruption in American sports — the Jerry Sandusky scandal — and make it worse, but today they just did.”
