Sandusky is maintaining innocence, attorney says

By Mike Dawson, McClatchy Newspapers –

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — One of Jerry Sandusky’s attorneys said the former Penn State assistant coach is maintaining his innocence from inside the confines of the Centre County, Pa., jail.

On Monday, Karl Rominger visited Sandusky, who was convicted Friday night on 45 of 48 counts and taken to the jail to await sentencing.

He’s not allowed visits from family and friends, except for his attorneys, until a doctor performs a psychological evaluation.

That should happen sometime this week, said Denise Elbell, the county’s acting administrator for the jail. She said Sandusky remains on suicide watch as a precautionary measure.

“We’re doing everything according to the same way we do with anyone else,” Elbell said.

Rominger said Sandusky is doing well but wants to be taken off suicide watch. He told a Harrisburg, Pa., radio station on Monday that there’s “absolutely zero” chance Sandusky would commit suicide.

Sandusky is also eager to see his family and friends.

Also Monday, the county released the verdict slips used for the jury to record its tallies of guilty and not guilty.

After Sandusky was convicted, an evaluation of him was ordered to see if he is a sexually violent predator. He will have to go before the state Sexual Offender Assessment Board.
