Crazy that Amendola suggested Sandusky do the interview. Wow.

Dr Winston O'Boogie;974063 wrote:I think Sandusky's lawyer's strategy is to to exactly what he did on tv - come right out and acknowledge that there was questionable behavior. That's how he's going to deal with the questions of "why are all these accusations being leveled against your client if he didn't do anything". I'm not a lawyer, so I can't say whether this is what I'd do, but that seems to be what's going on.

Manhattan Buckeye;973621 wrote:I don't think Amendola is doing his client any favors, particularly with his own reported history.

Joe Amendola, the State College, Pa., attorney representing accused child molester Jerry Sandusky, has an interesting back story himself: He got a teen-age client pregnant during the mid-1990s.
Amendola, 63, married the girl several years after the birth of their child, The Daily reported Monday night, citing documents filed at the Centre County, Pa., courthouse.
Amendola represented a 16-year-old girl then known as Mary Iavasile when she filed an emancipation petition in September 1996, The Daily reported. The emancipation petition said the girl had graduated from high school in two years and held a fulltime job.
The girl gave birth to Amendola's child when she was 17 years old, her mother, Janet Iavasile, said. Amendola would have been about 49 years old at the time. The age of consent in Pennsylvania is 16.
Janet Iavasile said she didn't know the extent of the relationship between her daughter and the attorney. She thought he was more of a mentor than a paramour.

I sure as hell hope they are not building this case just off of McQueary's statements and it comes out that it was all a lie about the rape. Maybe McQueary is a pedophile and he exaggerated the story to satisfy his own perverted sexual attraction to young boys.

McQueary, a Penn State wide receivers coach who was placed on administrative leave Friday, also told a friend in an email that he stopped the alleged rape and discussed it with police.


In the email, first obtained and reported Tuesday by The Morning Call of Allentown, Pa., McQueary said he "did have discussions with police and with the official at the university in charge of police" after the alleged incident.
