While the report states that Sandusky's waiver moves him toward trial, it's more likely at this point that Sandusky will plead guilty and accept a negotiated sentence. Nate Bauer, writing for BlueWhiteIllustrated.com, tweeted that a retired law professor "guaranteed" that the sequence of events at the courthouse today mean Sandusky wants to deal.Published on SI.com - NCAA Football | shared via feedlyBELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) -- Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky has waived his preliminary hearing, a decision that moves him toward a trial on charges of child sex abuse. At least some of his 10 accusers had been expected to testify at the hearing.![]()
Keep in mind that as heinous as the crimes are, Sandusky has no prior convictions and sentencing guidelines would probably limit his sentence as a result. Bauer indicates that his legal analyst believes a 10-year term is likely, meaning Sandusky might walk out of prison at 77 years old, a free man.
