Former assistant Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky, 68, was found guilty on 45 counts of sexual abuse. This was the job, of course, at which Sandusky moon lighted, from his full-time job as a pedophile, abusing children over years and somehow managing to hide in plain sight at Penn State.

Sandusky used his status as a Penn State coach to molest young boys inside Penn State sports facilities for over a decade due to the culture of silence that prevailed among school officials and coaches at Penn State.

“Rot in hell” was shouted from someone in the crowd who was standing outside as Sandusky was led away in handcuffs, before he was put into the backseat of a police cruiser, on his way to living out the rest of his miserable life in prison.

Sandusky was expressionless as Juror No. 4, the foreman, read the verdict finding him guilty of 25 felonies and 14 first-degree felonies. But one of his accusers, Victim 6, broke down in tears. His bail was revoked, and he will await sentencing in about three months. He was also ordered to immediately register as a sex offender.

Jerry Sandusky is facing 442 years and will most likely die in prison.

According to NBC News, the wife of George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, has been arrested.

Shellie Zimmerman was arrested today and charged with one count of perjury for lying under oath about her husband’s finances. She quickly bonded out of jail.

In a bond hearing on April 20, Shellie Zimmerman told the judge she had no idea how much money Zimmerman’s private website had collected. In fact, she transferred at least $155,000 to her own personal account 3 days before the hearing.

In his written order revoking George Zimmerman’s bond on June 1, Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester wrote:

“It is apparent that [Shellie] Zimmerman testified untruthfully at the bond hearing. The Defendant also testified, but did not alert the Court to the misinformation.”

“Had the Court been made aware of the true financial circumstances at the bond hearing, the bond decision might have been different.”

Lester added: “Most importantly, though, is the fact that he has now demonstrated that he does not properly respect the law or the integrity of the judicial process,” Lester wrote.

Zimmerman turned himself in on June 3rd. His new bond hearing is set for June 29.
