We don't need any more proof, Jerry. Just STFU and go sit in your cellblock.

...I'm glad he feels innocent. That makes his life-long incarceration harder and more outrageous for him. He'll suffer more.

Even though there's no comparison, it's a trope in our language: I hope he does feel "raped" by the system.

anything he can say that anyone wants to hear.

Any apology will be self-serving at best.

I think Sandusky will eventually be raped himself in prison like he raped children or he wont make it to age 70 courtesy of fellow inmates and possibly prison guards who turn a blind eye.....

ask the following of the inmates:

WHO here is actually innocent of the crime(s) they were convicted of by a jury??

95% of the hands will shoot up into the air without hesitation.

Dear Jerry:

ROT in prison, you lying scum. and BTW, when you get raped in the shower or gym, don't
expect much sympathy.
