Governor Tom Corbett Releases Statement On Jerry Sandusky Conviction
“First, I want to thank the jury for their willingness to serve on such a difficult case.”
“I also want to commend the multiple victims in this case who had the courage to come forward and testify in court, confronting Sandusky, and proving beyond a reasonable doubt that he is guilty of these reprehensible crimes.”
“The agents and prosecutors of the Attorney General’s Office, as well as the Pennsylvania State Police, also deserve a great deal of credit for today’s verdict. They pursued every lead, gathering evidence from multiple victims, in order to bring this man to justice.”
In 2009, a case against Jerry Sandusky was presented to Corbett while he was still the attorney general.
