Jerry Sandusky Jury Reaches Verdict: Guilty and Life Imprisonment
Guilty!
A Pennsylvania jury on Jerry Sandusky's sexual abuse case has bring down its verdict after 21 hours of deliberations on June 21.
The 68-year-old former Penn State assistant football coach has found guilty on 45 of 48 counts for abusing 10 boys over 15 years.
Although Sandusky denied the charges, the panel's decision was based on eight accusers who say Sandusky molested them. They also heard about two other alleged victims whose identities remain unknown to investigators.
In addition, former Penn State Assistant Coach Mike McQueary also testified he saw Sandusky abusing a young boy in a campus shower.
A lawyer for one of Sandusky's six adopted children also said his father abused him while growing up.
The judge then revoked Sandusky's bail and ordered his arrest. He faces up to life in prison when he's sentenced in about 90 days.
