Preview of Jerry Sandusky Trial

Monday, 4 June 2012

I have a preview of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Jerry Sandusky for SI.com. Here's an excerpt:

Amendola's defense will center on (1) undermining the government's case as undeveloped and as riddled with exaggeration and fiction; and (2) portraying Sandusky as a caring and generous mentor to children who were ignored by everyone else.

To advance these strategies, Amendola will aggressively challenge the eight men who say Sandusky abused them. On cross-examination, Amendola will question their motives for coming forward years after the alleged abuse occurred. He will also challenge them as to why none of the victims apparently kept any physical evidence that implicates Sandusky. Amendola will probably try to uncover if any of the accusers plan to seek financial compensation for telling their accounts, such as to book publishers or film rights. While Amendola has to avoid seeming like a bully, he has a professional obligation to challenge those who have accused his client. That is true even if it means Amendola raises awkward, personal questions about interactions between Sandusky and his accusers.

Keep in mind, even if seven of the eight accusers are telling the truth, the jury's confidence in the government's case could collapse if Amendola shows that one of the accusers is lying. Therein lies one drawback to the government using numerous accusers: All it takes is one false accuser to prevent the honest accusers from obtaining justice.

Punishing Lessons

What the Boxing World at LargeCan Learn from the Paralyzing of Paul (The Punisher) Williams

ThisMemorial Day weekend, the boxing world saw two of its great warriors go downfollowing decorated and distinguished careers in unarmed combat. First, troubled five-time world championJohnny (Mi Vida Loca) Tapia was found dead in his home in Albuquerque, NewMexico. Then, former two-timewelterweight champion Paul (The Punisher) Williams, who recently signed for tofight Mexican sensation Saul (Canelo) Alvarez for the WBC Light MiddleweightTitle, was reportedly paralyzed from the waist down following a motorcycleaccident en route to one of hisbrother’s weddings in Atlanta. Williamssurvived, but was already advised that he will likely never walk, and thus box,ever again. Relatively speaking, Tapiawas not as lucky. While Tapia’s story isone that was unique to his tortured life, one marked by the murder of hismother when he was eight-years-old, drug problems, and the death of his brother-in-lawand nephew while they were on their way to visit him in the hospital followinga 2007 cocaine overdose, there are several lessons that can be learned fromWilliams’ plight, including what steps those handling the careers ofprofessional athletes can take to try to avoid such sad endings to theircharges’ careers. I initially addressed those lessons back on October 13, 2010 shortly after then-unifiedbantamweight champion Fernando (Cochulito) Montiel suffered an injury to hisright leg when a dirt bike on which he was a passenger crashed in Alamos,Mexico. To avoid redundancy, butreiterate those lessons in wake of Williams’ accident, I direct you back to“The Lesson to Learn from the Montiel Ordeal,” which available at: http://www.8countnews.com/news/125/ARTICLE/2970/2010-10-13.html. With that, I thank Tapia for many greatboxing memories and pray that he finally finds peace going forward and wish a speedyrecovery to The Punisher, who was perhaps the most physically unique top-leveltalent in the sport today.
