STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) —The wife of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky says she "definitely" believes her husband is innocent despite being convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys and that the victims' financial gain was at play.
Dottie Sandusky said in an interview broadcast Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show that "there was nothing that went on because I was here" in the couple's small home in State College, where some of the victims reported being abused in the basement.

Centre Daily Times: ‘I definitely believe him,’ Dottie Sandusky says of her husband
Yeah, a bunch of young men definitely would slander an innocent man for millions. That is definitely realistic huh? Why isn't this woman charged with obstruction of justice?
As for Paterno, while the lead Sandusky prosecutor has said there's no evidence Joe Paterno actively covered up for Sandusky, Louis Freeh's investigation says otherwise.
