Sandusky Trial

While this blog mainly focuses on the positive things to be learned from Sports, I can't ignore those things that may cast a negative light on sports either. A few previous posts have centered on the tremor that forever shook Penn State last fall. Jerry Sandusky was accused of the most heinous crime. This past week, a jury made up of his peers found him guilty on forty-five counts related to child sex abuse. Watching this case was difficult for me, even though I was nowhere near the courtroom. I couldn't realize how such awful things could go on for so long and nobody knew about them. As much as I didn't want the accusations to be true, I wanted justice (as much as possible) to be served. The shadow over Happy Valley is large and may stick around for awhile. Accusations will continually be made about people not speaking up sooner or going directly to the police, but we should never forget that it was Jerry Sandusky that committed the heinous crimes.
