A jury of seven women and five men deliberated for the bulk of two days before reaching a verdict Friday night. They began their work this morning at 9 a.m. by reviewing the testimony of key prosecution witness Michael McQueary, a Penn State assistant football coach, and McQueary family friend Jonathan Dranov.

The two provided differing accounts of a 2001 incident in which McQueary testified that he saw Sandusky and a young boy in a university shower room engaged in what McQueary believed was sodomy. Dranov, a physician, said McQueary's account to him did not include a sexual act.

Ex-Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky convicted of 45 counts in sex abuse trial.

The 68-year-old former Penn State assistant football coach was fighting 48 counts that accused him of abusing 10 boys over 15 years. It was possible he could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted of all counts.

BELLEFONTE -- A Centre County jury has found former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky guilty of 45 counts of child sexual abuse.

Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, had been charged with 52 counts of sexually abusing 10 boys, some of them on the Penn State campus and all of them he met through his Second Mile children's charity.

Four of those charges were dismissed during the trial.

Bail was revoked. http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2012/06/jerry_sandusky_verdict_sandusk.html
