Wait Is On For Sandusky Trial Verdict

Posted: Updated:
BELLEFONTE, Pa. -

It's night two for jurors deciding the fate of accused child predator Jerry Sandusky.

They're debating the guilt or innocence of former Penn State assistant football coach.

The jury has now had the case for more than 30 hours.

On Friday, the jury had questions on testimony from a janitor. The janitor who prosecutors say saw the alleged abuse couldn't testify due to a medical condition, so another janitor who was allegedly told about the incident did testify.

The judge said Friday that the hearsay statement isn't enough to sustain a conviction.

The jury also asked to see testimony again of former grad student Mike McQueary, who testified he saw Sandusky in shower with little boy in 2001. But they also asked to see a doctor's account, saying McQueary gave him a different story.

The jury doesn't know about reports that Matt Sandusky, the adopted son of the accused, has now coming forward to say he was molested as a child. Another accuser, Travis Weaver, also just came forward publicly to say he was abused more than 100 times by Sandusky.

Jurors ate dinner and returned to deliberations a little after 7 p.m.

FOX 29's Bruce Gordon has been in Bellefonte throughout the trial and filed this report Friday for the FOX 29 News at 6.
