Jerry Sandusky's Alleged Victims Lose Court Bid to Stay Anonymous

I don't see how it could be ruled any other way. Not saying Jerry S is guilty or not. If found not guilty, his life is destroyed by the charges. If found guilty, the same. There are other cases, Duke Lacrosse? where players were charged with rape. Didn't turn out that way.

Either keep both parties names out of the news or all parties need to be reported.
 
Why did the state need so darn many charges? There are what, 52? Sandusky is OLD, jury trials are expensive and only TWO good charges (with convictions) are needed to give him LWOP. Simply pick TWO charges, saving the majority of the victims from even having to testify, and ask for CONSECUTIVE sentencing, so that no parole date is possible to be met. This is a circus trial that is wasting valuable public resources needlessly. Let the victims sue civilly after he is locked up to divide up his estate.

Just a guess on my part, but I suspect that this is a "throw a bunch of scheit against the wall so some will stick" example. Basically, they don't want to take a chance that the two good charges will go down in flames and want to make sure he gets some time for something.

Like I said, just a guess.

Have you seen this? It pretty graphic IMO.

Evidently Sandusky suffers from histrionic personality.
