And so it soon shall begin. On Monday at 9am to be exact.
A jury of 16 have been picked in surprisingly rapid order for the child molestation trial of former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.
According to PennLive.com the jury members may be a bit of a surprise to some, it consists of:
3-current Penn State employees
1-wife of a current Penn St. media information employee (curious--)
1-former Penn State professor
1-woman who husband is a doctor that worked with former assistant coach Mike McQueary's dad.
1-Penn State student
1-Penn State grad
1-who's wife is director of Penn State's Upward Bound program
7-who don't have a direct tie to Penn State or anybody involved in the trial.

Wow, not exactly the group you would expect for such a "High-Profile" trial. We are assuming that it was virtually impossible to find many people in that part of the world without ties to Penn State.
But geez, almost everyone on this jury has a tie to the school.
We won't speculate what this means or why it was done, but it is an interesting strategy employed by Sandusky's attorney Joe Amendola. Of course Amendola was the one who let his client be interviewed by Bob Costas and a couple of others, with all the interviews coming across real, real badly.
This comes on the heels of a Tuesday night report by ABC News stating that the prosecution plans to introduce a series of alleged "Love Letters" and gifts, that Sandusky wrote to the person known as "Victim #4".
The "Letters" supposedly get a bit graphic and according to ABC, they completely support the allegations made by that particular victim.

This trial sounds like it is going to start with some fireworks. Stay tuned next week and we'll bring you as much information as we can.
