http://www.abc27.com/story/16319215/...ed-by-sanduskyHARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) - A Carlisle attorney who has joined Jerry Sandusky's defense team says the former Penn State assistant football coach may have showered with young boys because the children lacked basic hygiene skills.
Sandusky is accused of molesting ten boys he met through The Second Mile charity he founded for troubled youth.
"Some of these kids don't have basic hygiene skills," attorney Karl Rominger said. "Teaching a person to shower at the age of 12 or 14 sounds strange to some people, but people who work with troubled youth will tell you there are a lot of juvenile delinquents and people who are dependent who have to be taught basic life skills like how to put soap on their body."
Oh for fuck's sake, have they no shame?! Are they seriously considering this ridiculous line of defense?
"Here, little boy, let me show you how to wash your penis to keep it clean..."
Sounds like his attorneys may be angling for a plea deal. They waived the preliminary hearing, which is almost unheard of if you plan on taking it to trial. Defense attorneys usually want to see what they are up against by seeing how credible the witnesses are, before finding out for the first time at trial. Of course, they may have been afraid that after all the damning testimony the judge would have raised his bail to $1 MILLION or some high amount that would have remanded him back into custody.
Can't wait to see what kind of plea deal they offer him...
