we heard from jason carroll what he saw from the reaction of the sandusky family.t to bring in our legal panel, criminal defense attorney. on the phone, senior analyst jeffrey tubin and marcia clark and a new york legal analyst sonny hoston. your thoughts on what you've witnessed over the last hour and a half or so since you got the verdict? >> there's so many conflicting thoughts. it's horrible what happened to that community of penn state. awful what they've been through. you think about joe paterno and that statement that was being released and then today being the five-month anniversary of his death which was probably hastened by that whole thing. you see that crowd kind of out there cheering which i think, you know, i know some people think that's an emotional or can that are tick release, but any time you have something like this, i think you had said, anderson, it was one of the victims or lawyers who said there are no winners here. there's clearly no winners. and the idea of sharie in cheert a little much. you think about joe getting there and just feeling,

jason carroll is in pennsylvania with more on the developments there so, jason, one of the lawyers for sandusky made what mose are considering a very surprising announcement today about their readiness just prior to trial. >> frederica, this is something we've known about for quite sometime but because of a gag order there were certain things we were not able to reveal. i can tell you that a few days before the trial was set to begin i spoke to a defense source who told me, quote, jason, we are six months behind from preparing and getting ready for this to go to trial. they felt as though the continuances they kept asking for because they were denied, they simply were not ready. they did not feel as though jerry sandusky himself was ready to be cross examined. these are just some of the issues they had to deal with leading into this trial. also, in terms of jerry sandusky, himself, the source also tells me that they discussed on more than one occasion, frederica, about the possibility of a plea deal telling jerry sandusky that the chances of conviction were very, very high. earlier tod

jason carroll was inside the courtroom when the verdict came in.u've had some time to reflect, you've been covering this from the beginning. what really stands out to you tonight? >> well, a couple of things. you know, what i see is a vast difference from where we are now versus where we were as you remember, anderson, several months ago. in the very beginning when the allegations first surfaced, there was such a sense of disbelief. how could something like this happen? how could allegations like this be connected to a man like jerry sandusky who was so well respected throughout the community. and then you gradually -- you see things chance. we saw how the folks from penn state thought penn state was being put on trial. people couldn't believe it. then things start to shift, and as more accusers came forward, as more people in the community began to long more about this case, their opinions start tod change. and of course we got to where we are tonight. where you heard that loud sort of round of applause when we came outside here, when everyone eru

right now i want to go to jason carroll who has been covering this trial from the beginning. s in the courtroom when the verdict was read. and jason, explain what you saw as the verdict was read in terms of the reaction by the sandusky family. >> i was watching very closely. i especially wanted to see the reaction on dottie sandusky's face. as the guilty verdict started to be read, she started to blink repeatedly over and over, looking straight ahead. sitting behind her was her adopted son jonathan. he seemed to be overcome, he put his head in his hands and started shaking his head. sitting next to dottie, her adopted daughter, she also was looking straight ahead and not showing emotion and that's very different from what i saw of victim number six who was sitting to my left. he was there with members of his family. they all leaned forward after the verdicts were read and hugged each other. there was a vast difference between the two families. you wanted to see what the reaction was of jerry sandusky, the man himself. and as the verdicts were read, he looked ahead, he was resp

jason carroll was in the courtroom today. he's live in pennsylvania for us. pretty shocking testimony on the first day of the trial, jason. what moments stood out to you? >> well, one of the moments that you mentioned, anderson, is when accuser number four took the stand. jerry sandusky himself leaned forward and never took his eyes off this young man. he's 28 years old. and he described this pattern that prosecutors have been talking about all along. he talked about how he met jerry sandusky through a second mile type of event. he says that then led to befriending him, which led to gifts, things such as skateboards and golf clubs, hockey sticks, things like that. then he said it led to intimate contact in the showers with soap fights. then that led to wrestling. he says that led to oral sex. it was incredibly dramatic to hear this type of testimony happening in court. i also should point out one of the first visual cues that jurors got that they really seemed to pay attention to, anderson, was when prosecutors put up the pictures of all of these accusers on t

jason carroll was in the courtroom today. he joins me now. jason, the most anticipated defense witness besides jerry has no doubt been dottie sandusky. she took the stand. she said she never saw any inappropriate contact between her husband and those young boy, correct? >>> that is correct. basically, she also contradicted specifically the testimony of two of the accusers, number four and number nine. number four you'll remember, says jerry sandusky took him to the alamo bowl in 1999 and tried to sexually assault him in a hotel room when dottie sort of walked in and said what's going on. she says according to her she did walk in and say what's going on. she said both men were clothed, anderson. she also said she said what's going on because jerry sandusky was angry because this young boy refused to go to a luncheon, an expensive luncheon that they had paid for. with relation to number nine, accuser number nine, he was the one who testified he had said he'd been down in the basement of jerry sandusky's home and had screamed repeatedly for help.

jason carroll was in court today. i spoke to him about today's testimony. >> so, jason, this is the first time we've heard from one of the accuser's moms in court. she said her son never spoke to her of the alleged abuse. if that's true, it falls in step with what the other accusers have testified. right? >> it certainly does, anderson. what we've seen throughout this trial so far is this pattern of accusers saying they did not want to talk about these allegations, not to their friends, not to their family. the mother of accuser number nine, when she took the stand, you got the overwhelming sense over the guilt that she felt over what happened to her son. she talked about how her son repeatedly said he did not want to go over jerry sandusky's house. how she basically forced him to go over there because of jerry sandusky's upstanding reputation in the community. she even said to this day, she still has not spoken to her son about the allegations. she talked about them on the stand. saying "i just didn't really want to h

right now, i want to go to jason carroll who has been covering this trial from the beginning. he was in the courtroom when the verdict was read. and jason, explain just what you saw as the verdict was read in terms of the reaction by the sandusky family. >> well, i was watching very cloeszly. i especially wanted to see the reaction on dotty sandusky's face. she just started to blink repeatedly over and over looking straegt ahead. sitting behind her is her adopted son, jonathan. and he seem today become overcome. at a point, he reached forward and put his hands on the bench. sitting next to dotty sandusky, her adopted daughter, cara. and she was also looking very straight ahead, not showing very much emotion. and that's very different from what i saw from victim number 6 who was sitting to my left. he was there with members of his family. and they all leaned forward. there was a vast difference between the two families. but, of course, you also wanted to see the reaction of jerry sandusky, the man himself. and as the verdicts were read, he was very respectful. he said no words.

jason carroll was in the courtroom today. he joined me now. se witness besides jerry has no doubt been dottie sandusky. she took the stand. she said she never saw any inappropriate contact between her husband and those young boy, correct? >>> that is correct. she also contradicted the testimony of two of the accusers, number four and number nine. number four you'll remember, says jerry sandusky took him to the alamo bowl in 1999 and tried to sexually assault him in a motel room when dottie walked in and said "what's going on." she also said she said "what's going on" because jerry sandusky was angry because this young boy refused to go to a luncheon, an expensive luncheon that they had paid for. accuser number nine, he was the one who testified who said he had been down in the basement of sandusky's home and screamed repeatedly for help. dottie was asked about that by joe amendola, defense attorney. who said, quote if something happened in your basement, could you hear it? she answered, i think so, yes. then he asked did you ever hear someone y

jason carroll is live from the courthouse. in pennsylvania. jason, what do we know about the letters? they've been described as love letters. what does the defense say? >> reporter: well, the defense is going to have an interesting perspective on this. i spoke to a source before the gag order was put into place specifically asking about these letters, and the defense, i'm told, is going to argue that these are not love letters, anderson, that these are letters of encouragement that jerry sandusky wrote to students, wrote to football players over the years, also wrote to those who participated in second mile, that charity that he founded for young men who are in trouble. and the source also tells me that what jerry basically will do and did over the past was give gifts of encouragement to encourage these young men to get good grades, to go to school. and if you remember, back in november i actually spoke to joe amendola. that is his defense attorney. i want you to hear what he has to say back then about these gifts and letters. >> what we're say

i want to go to jason carroll at the courthouse with more. today we're hearing new information that sandusky may have actually threatened one of the victims. >> and that's what we're hearing, anderson, from the young man identified as victim number 10. he said in 1998, jerry sandusky sexually assaulted him in the sandusky home in the basement. saying he forced him to perform oral sex on him. he said, quote, he told me if i told on him he would never see my family again. he apologized for saying that. he said that he didn't mean it and that he loved me. another reason why this young man is interesting, the defense is saying a lot of these young men are trying to come forward and cash in in some way hiring attorneys to pursue some sort of a civil case. this is one young man who has not hired a private attorney. he said he is coming forward because he said, quote, it was at right thing to do. >> perhaps the most emotional testimony came from victim number five who said sandusky assaulted him in the shower. >> he said this happened when he was 12

jason carroll was in the courtroom when the verdict was read.scribed it to anderson cooper. >> the guilty verdict started to be read one after another, anderson. jerry sandusky looked straight ahead. he remained absolutely without emotion. >> after the verdict, the judge revoked his bail and ordered his arrest. joining me now is holly hughes to talk about this. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> any surprises here? it took 21 hours. >> right. it's about a half hour each charge. he was looking at 48 counts. 21 hours, break it down that way. bear in mind, they acquitted him on three charges. they spent more time arguing about those three. this was a very fast verdict. >> an awfully quick trial. what does that tell us about them and the case the prosecution put on? >> they had one wonderful thing going for it. that was the amount of witnesses, survivors who were going to take the stand and say that happened to me. the defense couldn't turn it around and paint it as this was one or two people looking to make a buck. civilly, they can sue him.

jason carroll, cnn contributor and sarah gannon. jason, if matt sandusky's claims was known by the prosecution, why didn't they call him to testify? >> well, i think it's a good question. i think there's a question in terms of whether or not his testimony would have been admissible, for one reason, jerry sandusky is not charged with sexually abusing his son. i can tell you this. think of this scenario. let's say for example jerry sandusky had taken the witness stand and it said during his testimony i'm a great father, i have a great relationship with my children. that, then, would have opened the door for the prosecution to call a rebuttal witness and my sources told me, if jerry sandusky had taken the stand, they were prepared to put matt sandusky on the stand as a rebuttal witness and my source tells me that his testimony would have been, quote, very, very damaging. also let me backtrack a little bit. when the trial began on day one, i saw matt sandusky sitting there on the side lines with the rest of the sandusky family. so what h
