The WT is damn lucky on the timing of Candices outcome.
If not for what was going on with Sandusky and the priest thing in PA.
It would have gotten some air time...not that it still won't.

#Sandusky guilty but wish #PennState doesnt get off scott free! They perpetuated abuse & ruined lives by ignoring the evil they knew about!

Add to this news the conviction of Monsignor William J. Lynn in Philadelphia of child endangerment for covering up sexual abuse of children by priests. Lynn is the first Roman Catholic official to be convicted of charges brought in the church scandal.
They have to be quaking with fear in Brooklyn. The WTS has lost its case in a California court and now two courts in Pennslyvania have found for the state in two different pedophile cases. With WTS appeals forthcoming, the Society's legal team faces a steep uphill climb in their hope that SCOTUS will throw out the charges, overturn the conviction, and void the fines.
We may now see an open season declared on pedophiles in this country and the WTS may find itself in more courtrooms defending its morally bankrupt policies. The siege currently being laid against the WTS is only going to get tighter and maybe, just maybe, it is now only a question of time before the walls are breached and its citadel overrun.

Nice to think of 'ol Jerry in a jumpsuit, on a stainless steel bunk in an oversize walk-in closet with no windows for the rest of his miserable life.
Nice to think of Penn State getting a hard $lap in the face for their arrogant complicity in this travesty. Screw their pious reputation. They are sullied by this too.

I read he faces up to 442 years in prison. That is a long time! After which his bones will be released for a burial I guess... :/
