many of the jury deliberated for nearly 21 hours before reaching the verdict and this was the reaction when the public learned his fate. a short time later, a remarkable sight outside the courthouse as he was led away in handcuffs expressing no emotion. i want to get to one of the man that defended jerry sandusky, his attorney. what is your reaction to the conviction? >> obviously i am disappointed. i will take a little solace in the fact that the witness i cross-examined, mike mcqueary, did not sustain the count of sodomy they promise that cost joe paterno his job. overall, we did not do as well as we would have liked. we were rushed and underprepared based on the back discovery was given to us thousands of pages right before the trial started. that joe amendola rose to the occasion and we presented key evidence and that is part of the reason we got the acquittals we did. in the 20 some our deliberation. freezing of few eyebrows, his conduct over the last couple of days. he has been taking a strangely frivolous view of what has been going on here clapping, joking, cracking jokes, saying today he would have a heart attack at his client was acquitted care what was all that about? >> you have to understand he has worked tirelessly, the man has worked 17-hour days and dinner brought in to him at his home. i have seen the work he has done. he is one of the guys that has battered all the tapes, one of the persons that found a silver bullet, so to speak, that we thought the ad that showed the police misconduct. if he appears frivolous on the surface, he has worked this case harder than any attorney i have ever seen. >> is your intention not to appeal? >> we will appeal. we have several technical legal issues, one of which involves an accuser in a and they here say a statement, it invokes a confrontation issue. the judge ruled against us but acknowledge the law was tight in the area and it may be a novel argument that they brought forward. the danger for the government going forward is if we are successful on the appeal, the entire set of charges is liable to come back. >> most legal experts are saying there is no chance of a successful appeal tonight. that has been the reaction so far. >> i anderson and that. what i will say to those experts, i agree with an appeal will not be easy but i will tell them that they weren't in the closed sessions. they didn't hear everything that was put on the record and unaware of the actual record as it exists, frankly, a lot of it is not public. >> it has been suggested that jerry sandusky wanted to testify. wanted to get on the stand. he didn't, why was that? >> jerry did want to testify but we never made a commitment in the sense we were 100% positive. at the beginning of the trial, we thought he would need to testify. after the trial was underway and when the government made known they had certain witnesses, and also based on the fact that the government was unable or unwilling to put in the entire nbc rock center interview, we made a strategic decision based on what we felt was a good punch against the investigation not to bring him to the stand. one thing that comes to mind, i thought it was a wise decision because a good prosecutor can make an innocent man look guilty on cross exam. mr. sandusky what it had trouble. >> thank you very much. a dramatic resolution to a highly charged emotional trial. want to play for you what the attorney general said tonight. she spoke outside the courthouse shortly after the verdict. >> one of the recurrent themes of the witness's testimony which came from the voices of the victims themselves in this case was who would believe a kid and the answer to that question is weak and del ponte, pennsylvania, would believe a kid. >> we're going to look at the breaking news photograph, this is jerry sandusky in prison, his booking photo. a man behind bars where he is likely to stay for the rest of his life. we want to go to jesting, the attorney for victims number of three and seven. what is your reaction to his conviction? >> i spoke with my client is in as i was able to leave the courthouse this evening after hearing the verdict. i described the scene to them. and truthfully, in many ways, i think there is an element of disbelief. extremely relieved. my client both expressed a great deal of relief that this has finally occurred. one of them said, thank god he is in jail. another one said, it has been a long time coming. a great deal of relief and i think gratitude to the jury for hearing what the adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse had to say in this courthouse. >> it took a lot of courage for your clients to take the stand. and you can tell how emotional and painful it was for them to relate the experiences they had to endure at the hands of serrate sandusky. what is your feeling about sandusky? >> my personal feeling about jerry sandusky is that this is the first time that he has ever been held accountable for what he has done. he got what he deserved tonight. i believe that is how all my clients bill. i know that is how they feel. i believe this jury saw the courage of my clients and the other victims to testify in this case and responded. they got up there and they told the truth about something that many, many of those survivors and childhood sexual abuse victims keep all their lives. they told the truth in front of the world and took a great deal of courage to do so. >> will they be pursuing civil action, either of your clients? >> at this point, the facts are still developing, i have no doubt there will be civil actions. we have a dual justice system in this country. the civil system, i believe, will uncover even more information about a needs to be held accountable in these cases. at this point, we are just focused on this evening and tonight it is the victims night. the night that jerry sandusky goes to jail. after many, many years. >> it certainly is and my congratulations to you and your team. and also my very best wishes to your clients. you have had to endure this for a long time in their lives and tonight, at least, has seen the monster responsible and up or he should be behind bars. thank you for joining me. >> thank you, thank you very much. >> joining me to respond to this is lisa kimball m. pretty dramatic scenes tonight. what's is your sense of what should happen next? >> you talk about the monster of jerry sandusky. there are other monsters and the story. the adults to for the last 14 years knew there was a child rapist in their best and failed to act to protect children. y? because they wanted to protect the football team. in a football team over children and they actually saw being raped when they heard reports of being raped, talking about local law enforcement, the campus police, the university administrators. all of these people have reports and they failed to act. we hear tonight the children will be believed from law enforcement and pennsylvania. what about the last 14 years? what about all of these adult to fail to act? lacks see them charged with child endangerment. there were charges brought successfully in philadelphia today against a priest to saw there was molestation and dale two and failed to protect. that is important. i would like to see these adults who knew as much as 14 years ago this was going on in the field to protect the children. i would like to see them charge, too. >> a lot of people feel that. one of the issues is the hero worship towards joe paterno, one of the great coaches of all time. it has almost blurred the lines of how this should be viewed. i have never joined dan. i did not hero worship him not because i look at them and he had clearly been aware of what was happening. and clearly either turned a blind eye or had willfully covered up with jerry sandusky was doing. as a result, young boys were abused. >> one of the witnesses who said he actually saw with his own two is a child being raped in the shower by sandusky said it was one of the most difficult decisions of his life when he would go to the police are not. he didn't. why is that a difficult decision? you see a child being raped and do think it is difficult whether to go to the police or not? what is wrong with this. sports above the child being raped? >> putting aside the rate, which was witnessed and people have contested about, the fact he concedes that he was regularly having naked showers with these boys, it is abuse in itself. is what i could not understand. he is already admitting a form of child abuse. >> there is a janitor who said he saw sandusky and he told another employee and an adult. neither of them went to the police because football is more important? this is astounding to me and we have to call this what it is. child endangerment and an adult sees a child being assaulted or has good reason to believe he is being molested and does not reported. the time has come to round up those people and accused them of child endangerment. that's what it is. >> the investigation should be carried on at a faster rate to get to the bottom of who knew what when and to cover up. >> law enforcement. what are they afraid of? are they so blinded by the aura of the exports in this country that they did not do anything? >> let's go to the harrisburg reporter who broke the story. you've been involved from the start. you heard lisa saying that others should now be taken for what has been going on. what do you make of that? >> it is not about what i think. no matter what anybody says about what happened tonight, this is not a case that is over. and maybe with jerry sandusky, maybe he charged again, something the prosecutors will have to decide. within the community, this is not over. something that has affected and state. a very big case in a very small town is the bottom line. it closed down. and state university still has two officials who are charged with perjury and failing to report an incident. one you're just talking about. there is a potential for more charges. the attorney general was walking around tonight giving interviews and saying there is an ongoing investigation. they are still interviewing people, people going before the grand jury. we have heard from them coming forward as soon as this week saying that they are victims. one of them was his adopted son. even though i think there was a sense that you could feel just because of the sheer amount of people who ended up coming to the courthouse to hear the verdict that they wanted some kind of closure, some kind of answers. i don't think this is something that is going to stop. it is a story we won't be talking about in this community. it is something that is ongoing. and it is going to be several years before it is resolved or who knew what exactly and when they knew it. >> do you feel that the conviction of jerry sandusky may open the floodgates now? to a proper investigation in which people are far more forthcoming in the sense of sandusky was a well-respected figure for a long time despite what he was doing. obviously worked close with joe paterno who was a legend and as i was saying, it just blurred the lines of how people have the this. now that he has been convicted of 45 different forms of child abuse, it may be that the conspiracy of silence has been operating and it may evaporate. what do you think? >> i know his attorney got up on the podium and said he is still innocent, he intends to fight this on appeal. i know that many members of the community believe that he had no chance at a fair trial because of the massive amount of attention the case got. i know that as far back as 2011, when we first broke the story, that he was under investigation, we were hearing the same kinds of things that you just said. when he is charged, people come for and the floodgates will open. that did not happen this time. it didn't happen when he was charged. i am not quite sure. this is a tricky situation because he was a high-profile figure. a lot of the motion continued through penn state. and a crime where historically, people don't want to talk about it. it is a trifecta of a tricky situation. hard to predict. >> you have done some terrific journalism and i congratulate you on that. not a day for celebration, everyone is a loser. i salute you and george journalism for bringing jerry sandusky forward. well done on that. >> thank you. >> only combat, the impact on the victims, the community, and what's next for jerry sandusky and penn state. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 let's talk about the personal attention tdd# 1-800-345-2550 you and your money deserve. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 at charles schwab, that means taking a close look at you tdd# 1-800-345-2550 as well as your portfolio. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 we ask the right questions, tdd# 1-800-345-2550 then we actually listen to the answers tdd# 1-800-345-2550 before giving you practical ideas you can act on. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 so talk to chuck online, on the phone, tdd# 1-800-345-2550 or come in and pull up a chair. scroll... tap... pinch... and zoom... in your car. introducing the all-new cadillac xts with cue. ♪ don't worry. we haven't forgotten, you still like things to push.
