Defiant Jerry Sandusky arrives in court for sentencing Last Updated 9:18 a.m. As Jerry Sandusky prepares to face his sentencing hearing Tuesday for child sex abuse charges, in a courtroom attended by his victims, the former Penn State coach proclaimed his innocence and vowed to appeal his conviction. A smiling Sandusky, accompanied by sheriff's deputies, showed up Tuesday at the Centre County Courthouse wearing a red prison jumpsuit, white sneakers and holding a manila envelope in advance of his scheduled 9:00 a.m. hearing. His attorney and his wife, Dottie, also have arrived. It appears the court will allow Sandusky to have the last word at his hearing today, with the judge having established the order of speakers to begin with the prosecution, then the defense, then victims, and then Sandusky. Usually the prosecutor is the last to address the court at sentencing. There will be a brief hearing prior to sentencing in which prosecutors will ask that Sandusky be classified a violent sexual predator.

On Monday night, Sandusky professed his innocence and vowed to continue fighting his child molestation conviction in a recorded statement broadcast on a college radio station. In a possible preview of remarks he is expected to make at today's hearing, Sandusky said that he knows in his heart that he did not do what he called "these alleged disgusting acts," and blamed his conviction on 45 counts of child sexual abuse on "speculation and stories." He also described himself as the victim of Penn State, investigators, civil attorneys, the media and others: See below for a transcript Sandusky's complete statement on Penn State Com Radio. Sandusky was convicted in June of abusing 10 boys over 15 years, including some attacks inside Penn State athletic facilities. Sandusky attorney Joe Amendola said he did not expect any others to speak on Sandusky's behalf, although friends and family members - including his wife, Dottie - have written letters of support. Defense attorney Karl Rominger at first said he was unaware of the recording, then called The Associated Press back early Tuesday to confirm its authenticity. Mike Fliegelman, student general manager of the radio station, said the statement was recorded inside the county jail in Bellefonte, but he referred further questions to the station's faculty general manager, who did not return phone messages late Monday. Rominger said the sentencing and a related proceeding to determine if Sandusky qualifies as a sexually violent predator under Pennsylvania's version of Megan's Law should take less than two hours. Rominger said on WHP radio that Sandusky knows the judge could impose a longer sentence if Sandusky insists he is innocent, but some offenses carry mandatory minimums that are likely to translate into an effective life sentence. Along with Sandusky, prosecutors last year also arrested two Penn State administrators and charged them with lying to the grand jury that investigated Sandusky and failing to properly report suspected abuse. The case led to the firing of longtime head football coach Joe Paterno, who died from lung cancer in January, and the ouster of university President Graham Spanier, who remains a faculty member. There, he would be tested and evaluated by Department of Corrections personnel, who will determine where he will serve his time.
