[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My hunch is he's a sociopath [b]who convinced his defense attorney that he's innocent.[/b] What about the janitor? And the NYT is reporting that more victims have come forward. Did you hear the interview? He sounds like a man with a very low IQ. I really wonder if he doesn't have brain damage from his years of playing football. [/quote]

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm genuinely curious whether or not a defense attorney needs to believe his client is innocent in order to defend him/her. I always thought such belief would be desirable, but not necessary. At the end of the day, the defender's job is to get a lesser sentence for the client, right?

As for the allegations themselves, I believe there is a difference between 'horsing around' and having oral and anal sex with someone. If there are victims willing to testify to actually having sex with Sandusky, case closed. Guilty as charged.

If all 8 of them had mentioned 'just showering together' and nothing else, it could - maybe - pass for poor judgement on Sandusky's part. Maybe.
