about why wasn t sandusky arrested in 08? why wasn t he arrested in 09, 2010, et cetera? i thought he was weaving together a political argument and pointing a finger without ever naming the current governor, the then-attorney general of pennsylvania s that how you interpreted that portion of the opening statement? yes, that s exactly what it sounds like. and i believe what the defense attorney is trying to do is to say to the jurors, don t look at what sandusky did. don t look at the facts against sandusky. we want you to look over here. we want to give you an extraneous argument so we re taking your attention off of all the facts and all the evidence that goes to the guilt of mr. sandusky. so what they re trying to do is they re trying to create almost a sideshow. and that sometimes happens in criminal cases. it sounds like that s what they re going for here. the testimony of one of the ten i ledged victims is now concluded. me hut on his direct testimony and has become examined
