Jerry Sandusky Interview: Claims of Innocence Won't Sway Skeptical Public

Every time Jerry Sandusky speaks, he digs himself a deeper hole.

He recently spoke with the New York Times in an interview that lets the public know that he is completely detached from reality.

Sandusky maintains his innocence, and never fully acknowledges that he seriously overstepped his boundaries when showering and physically interacting with the children.

Even if the alleged crimes are not true, him using crutch words like "family" and saying "that's just me" don't help his cause whatsoever.

People want to hear sorry. Even if he's only apologizing for the mess that he's caused and the adverse affect his "horsing around" has had on the victims and their families, people want to hear him admit to wrong doing.

In the interview with Bob Costas and the one below, it seems as though Sandusky feels like we are confused. It's almost as if he thinks if we had known the context of what he is describing, we would be okay with it.

Sandusky needs to stop doing interviews. His inability to answer questions with a firm answer in the Costas interview drew a negative public reaction. His inability to adequately justify it in the New York Times interview made it even worse.

Nobody wants to hear about his love for young people. This is just another interview that is going to spark public outcry.

Sandusky's attempts to portray himself as an innocent man not only failed to help his situation, they made the public more skeptical than ever.
