Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention, but that trial seems to have gone by remarkably fast.

I think it did, too. Plus, the fact that the jury released their verdict just before 10 pm on a Friday night? I don't ever remember that happening. It's like they thought, "he's guilty...let's get this over with and go home."

I think it was because there was not a lot of rebuttal from the defense, the defense had less witnesses I think(?), and Pervert Man didn't take the stand in his own defense like his lawyer said he would in opening arguments.

Because if he had, the Commonwealth would have called the adopted son as a rebuttal witness. No one knew about his claims when the trial started and when the defense attorney said Sandusky would take the stand.

This is the part of the law that I like and learned from SVU. Something about "opening the door."

No defense lawyer in his right mind would have put Sandusky on the stand.

The Soup played a clip in which a legal expert said that Sandusky "shot his wad" by doing the Bob Costas interview. EXTREMELY unfortunate choice of words, but very correct.
On another note, I think the repainting of murals is ridiculous. If they (they = the college and the townspeople) had learned ANYTHING from this case, they would let the mural stand as it was, to remind them that just because you contribute in one spectrum that it doesn't make you perfect or above the law. Painting it over with a woman who no one will remember in 3 weeks who she is teaches NOTHING.

There were some parts of the Costas interview that didn't air, and those were even worse than the parts that did.
I think the guy is guilty as sin, and obviously so did the jury, but it's an interesting thought exercise to speculate on what would have happened with a really good defense lawyer.

Well, that's another theory that's going around....that the defense lawyer is purposely doing really stupid shit so the verdict can get thrown out on grounds of assy lawyering, or whatever the correct terminology is.

I don't think there is any chance of that. Sandusky chose and paid for his own lawyer, and I think that ineffective council is almost always someone appointed by the state. Further, Joe did more than the bare minimum a lawyer must do.

That happens a lot though doesn't it? Where the original plan is to have the defendant take the stand in their defense, but after testimony a change of plans for whatever reason is needed?
