Jerry Sandusky sentenced to at least 30 years

I’m not sure how the two are related?

They aren’t really related. I was just thinking that, particularly with high profile cases, it is easier and sometimes more likely for prosecutors to grab onto a suspect and a theory of the crime and never let it go regardless of contradictory evidence. It’s a dangerous way of thinking. It’s what defense attorneys like Tampa Dave find themselves fighting against on occassion.

It has nothing to do with Jerry Sandusky, whose case I haven’t followed at all. But it is something that comes to mind whenever I see high profile cases. Read Dorothy Rabinowitz’s book to see what I mean, or look up “The Norfolk Four.”
