30-60 years...that's short, he could be out at the end of his life...fuck that!

1. Isn't he 76? (edit: I stand corrected. 68)

[JPZenger]

3. Response

I believe he is around 65. People don't age well in prison.

The travesty is that he was not put in prison much earlier, and he got to sit on his back porch for years and watch the kids in the adjacent elementary school playground. Part of the delay is the fault of Gov. Corbett, who had full responsibility of the investigation and prosecution as State Attorney General for 2 years before Sandusky was charged.

5. He is 68 yrs old...

Will the OP please correct the bad spelling? I'm going to guess that you know which word...

6. Actually, he's 68.

And depending on how being "paroled" works there, (I have no idea) it doesn't seem likely he'll get out alive. Prison isn't really conducive to long lives.

2. He's 68 years old.

4. 30 MINIMUM...he can't get out until he is 98. I'll settle for that...

since he will probably die. If not, he still might not be allowed out.

7. It's a life sentence.

[NightWatcher]

8. Would you feel better if it were 900?

He's going to die of old age in prison either way, 30-900 or a gazillion

9. I know what you mean kind of breaks down to about 2 years for every kid he abused.

13. The other problem is that he can appeal his conviction on each and every single count

Suppose some fucking repuke appeals court judge is enamored with Penn State football to the point of being unable to be objective..or lets say there was a technical error in some of the counts...then he could get out. Not to mention a parole board enamored with PSU football...he could get out in 20 years..that would make him 88.

10. With the way prison populations treat pedophiles,...

...what are the odds he'll survive for more than five years?

[lalalu]

11. Agree 100%

I don't care hold old he is. The sentence should have been tough to send a message.

[cthulu2016]

12. To who? Redwoods?

[jsmirman]

14. Why on earth would you not give him 500 years

that sentence should have come down like a suffocating endless stack of paper.

[LibertyLover]

15. You are joking, right?

He's 68 now. Even taking the minimum sentence, he'd be 98 getting out of jail. He's not going to make it to 98. It's a life sentence.

[hifiguy]

16. He will spend the rest of his life in prison.

That strikes me as eminently fair and correct.

[Ruby the Liberal]

17. Agreed.

Would we be having the same conversation is he was 48? 38?

This sentence did NOT match the crime.

[Initech]

18. He will not last very long in prison.
