Back in court, Jerry Sandusky resentenced to 30 to 60 years

BELLEFONTE, Pa. — Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was resentenced Friday to 30 to 60 years in prison, the same penalty as before, for sexually abusing children.

Sandusky, 75, was sentenced by Judge Maureen Skerda at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte. He wore a yellow jumpsuit and entered court with his hands cuffed in front of him.

Sandusky again asserted his innocence, choked up twice in brief remarks to the judge and told his supporters he loves them.

A state appeals court this year turned down most of Sandusky’s arguments seeking a new trial but said laws mandating sentence minimums in place at the time of his October 2012 sentencing had since changed.

They'll be carrying him out in a box, and that's exactly how it should be.

Will probably be a talking point about his college years for the rest of his life. Especially now that he lives in Florida and PSU is largely known for this one thing down there.
