Lawyer: Sandusky upset over Penn State sanctions
By | The Associated Press – 39 minutes agoHARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -- Jerry Sandusky is distraught over the NCAA penalties issued to Penn State's football program for the school's handling of his child sexual abuse scandal and maintains his innocence as he awaits sentencing, his defense lawyer said Wednesday.
Attorney Joe Amendola told The Associated Press in a phone interview that Sandusky told him that even if people believe he is guilty of the crimes for which he was convicted in June, it would be ''ridiculous'' to think Penn State administrators engaged in a cover-up.
..............He said there may not be anything Sandusky can say to prevent an extended prison sentence, but Sandusky has ''a fighting spirit'' and is ''cautiously optimistic.''
