Joe Amendola’s Defense Strategy for Jerry Sandusky? Throw Shit at a Wall
By Kyle Scott
Published:
As we told you before, the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse trial began today, and with that came opening statements from the worst lawyer in the world, Joe Amendola.
Amendola employed the shotgun technique by firing as much shit at the wall as possible, with the goal that something sticks just enough to cause a shadow of doubt in the minds of jurors.
A sampling of what Amendola said this morning: There are no victims in this case until a verdict is reached. Sandusky will testify. Something about big governments and conspiracy theories. Admits it’s a daunting task and he’s not sure how to approach the case. Compared representing Sandusky to climbing Mt. Everest. Sandusky grew up in culture of showering with boys. Sandusky does many things most of us would never dream of. Sandusky has personality disorder. Calls accusers money-hungry liars.
