Sports Illustrated Legal Analyst Discusses Disadvantages Of Sandusky Interview

PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) -- Sports Illustrated Legal Analyst and Director of Sports Law Institute at Vermont Law School Michael McCann joined Seibel, Starkey and Miller to discuss why former Penn State Defensive Coordinator Jerry Sandusky's lawyer would have him do that interview last night on national television.

McCann said Sandusky only hurt himself by talking last night because he admitted to behavior that was arguable criminal, and his attorney must have been hoping that people would see that while Sandusky made poor judgments both morally and ethically, he didn't do anything illegal, but it didn't come across that way and the audience still most likely views him as guilty.

McCann also discussed the legal impact Sandusky's interview could have on Penn State and others implicated in the Grand Jury testimony.
