A juror said Jerry Sandusky showed no emotion as the guilty verdict was read, confirming for him and his fellow jurors that they had made the right call in convicting the former Penn State assistant football coach on 45 out of 48 counts of child sexual abuse.
?That was just confirmation,? Harper told NBC?s ?Today? on Saturday. ?I looked at him during the reading of the verdict and just the look on his face, no real emotion. Just kind of accepting, you know, because, it was true.?
Harper said the jury worked through the charges systematically, combing over any inconsistencies in witness testimony and reconciling them. Ultimately, Harper said, there was a corroborating story among all of the victims and jurors ?were on the same page.?
Harper said he and his fellow jurors did not learn that Sandusky?s adopted son had come forward accusing his father of abusing him as well until after they made their decision.
?We heard about it the same time, we had suspected that but we had no evidence of it,? Harper said. ?It just solidified our decision.?
