Sandusky: ‘I don’t know’ if Paterno had suspicions about me
In his first interview since going to prison in October, former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky disputed the account of a key witness and said legendary coach Joe Paterno would never have let him coach if he suspected Sandusky was a pedophile.
“If he (Paterno) absolutely thought I was (a pedophile), I'd say no,’’ Sandusky said. “If he had a suspicion, I don't know the answer to that.”
Filmmaker John Ziegler is working on a documentary called "Framing Paterno," a defense of the late coach, and conducted telephone interviews with Sandusky. Portions of those interviews were played exclusively on TODAY Monday. Sandusky was convicted on 45 counts of child sexual abuse and given 30 to 60 years of solitary confinement, the equivalent of a life sentence for the 69-year-old.
"Jerry Sandusky already had his day in court," Ziegler told Matt Lauer Monday. "I'm trying to get Joe Paterno, effectively his day in court...I have no doubt that Jerry Sandusky was guilty of many of things, if not all the things, that he was accused of, but I do believe there were due process problems with the trial." Ziegler said he has 3 1/2 hours of interview material with Sandusky.
