Karl Rominger, one of Jerry Sandusky’s attorneys, admitted on his radio show today that he and Joe Amendola tried to get out of the case the morning of jury selection because they were inadequately prepared. However, the judge in the case, John Cleland, denied the defense team’s request.

You thought you were getting through the day without hearing something about Jerry Sandusky? Hey, we wish you were too, but alas, here we are. Sandusky’s lawyer, Joe Amendola, went on TV again today. He did not help his client’s case.

Yep: according to The Daily, the lawyer for accused Penn State child rapist Jerry Sandusky impregnated a teenage girl in 1996. Which further proves the point that the Jerry Sandusky saga is one of the biggest sources of sick, twisted irony in American history.
