Dottie Sandusky

Dottie Sandusky, wife of Jerry Sandusky convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys, has recently come out in support of her husband. Dottie believes that her husband is innocent and people said things for financial compensation. I believe that Dottie really does not know that these things happened in her home but also that now she is in denial about it because there is evidence against her husband. I think that Jerry certainly did molest some boys, but that maybe some of them did lie in order to get money. 

In many cases professional athletes and coaches do seem to be above the law, which I do think in some cases is true, but I think normal people are also wrongly convicted or acquitted of charges and it just isn't publicized as cases involving professional athletes are. I think any highly-publicized case is subject to impartiality whether it be in favor of the defendant or not. When cases are on the news, people, including the jury, know a lot about the case and things they are seeing on the news may not be admissible in court. In the case of OJ Simpson I do believe the verdict was innocent because he was famous, but I also believe it can be a disadvantage to some.
