He just doesn't strike me as all that smart enough to take the quick, painless way out.
cyanide ain't exactly painless but it is relatively quick, something one could do before one was handcuffed. he probably will be on suicide watch as well.
Here are my thoughts and concerns on the subject:
he is on suicide watch, his attorney has said there will be an appeal. This is bad for the boys because if he wins on just one of the appeals, then they will drag all those boys to court again to spill out their traumas all over again in a retrial and his heartless defense could do this for the rest of Sandusky's life. They dont care what it puts the survivors through, as long as they get paid.
Also I have a major issue with the media calling the sex abuse survivors, "the Sandusky 8" It basicly implies that Sandusky owns them....kinda creepy when you think of it.
Also you know a serial molester who set up a whole charity organization for the sole purpose of having sex with kids has many more victims out there that arnt talking.
just hope and pray that the appellate court does not let him win on any appeals, for the sake of the brave young men who barred all their darkest secrets, to not have to do it again.
And did you know that he wrote a autiobiography and the name of it is "Touched" ...creeeepy!
He will go to protective custody because child molesters are on the bottom rung of the prison pecking order. I guess they consider it to be cruel and unusual punishment to put him in a situation where he would be sexually abused. Go figure
My heart goes out to the 8 that testified, their bravery helped bring justice to many others who were unable to come forward. For once I thank the media, without the media all over this, this would have been pushed under the rug again and many more would be victimized.
God Bless the children without a [father]
