Sandusky's attorney compared the child abuse trial to soap opera. Guess which one?

<snip>
8:40 a.m.: Defense attorney Joe Amendola declined to say if Sandusky would testify. "Stay tuned. It's like a soap opera. If I tell you, it takes all the excitement out of it," Amendola said. When asked which soap opera, Amendola first said, "General Hospital," then changed his answer to "All My Children."

B-He and Sandusky deserve each other.
C-Sleazy

I am not justifying violence but the truth is child molesters have a huge target on their backs in the Big House. They're viewed as the lowest scum there is even by hardened criminals.

There is no bottom to this way of thinking.

There is great disdain for victims of abuse in many parts of our society now.

It's just a game, just a prank, like Abu Graib.

Since this attorney was part of the process of jury selection and no doubt sought out similar minds to sit on it, Sandusky may walk.

Thanks for the update. Reading the link, not pretty.
