Judge Who Set Unsecured Bail For Jerry Sandusky Is A Second Mile Volunteer

Prosecutors requested $500,000.00 bail and that Sandusky be required to wear a leg monitor. District Judge Leslie Dutchcot, however, ordered that Sandusky be freed on $100,000 unsecured bail. She ordered that Sandusky be freed and pay nothing unless he failed to show up for a court hearing.

How hard would it have been to find a judge with no ties to him or his charity?  

Let the Feds take this case over and take it out of the courts in Penn.

Everyone i have talked to thinks the same way. Then there is golfandgamble / Mr Win.

Only a true creep would minimize Jerry's actions like it was their full time job.

  i'm pretty sure any normal guy/mod would look at your cooments like this  ... and they would pretty much agree. You are one sick man that should seek help.

It is interesting, but I don't think the fact that she is a volunteer at Second Mile automatically means she would favor Sandusky.  I would bet that pretty much anyone with a brain thinks he is guilty of something.  I have a hard time believing she would just give him a pass because she volunteered there.  But it doesn't look that good for sure. 

I believe it's their job to make it appear like a fair ruling to the public.

At the very least, this is another thing that could been handled better.

Prosecutors had requested a $500,000 bail for Sandusky and that he be required to wear a leg monitor, but Dutchcot ruled that he be freed without having to post any money unless he failed to show up for court.

Dutchcot works as counsel to the firm Goodall and Yurchak. Its website features a profile listing her career achievements, including being named State College Lawyer of the Year in 2005.

It also states that The Second Mile, a non-profit organization founded by Sandusky in the late 1970s to help disadvantaged children, is one of several charities she has volunteered for.

Sandusky retired from his assistant coaching position in 1999, but retained coach "emeritus" status and access to Penn State facilities. Upon his retirement, he chose to take a $148,271 lump-sum pension payment from the State Employees' Retirement System, the newspaper reported.

The remainder of his pension is paid out on a monthly basis and totals $58,898 annually.

"These details have got to be reviewed," Rep. Mike Vereb, R-Pa., told WTXF-TV. "I'm sending off a letter to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Ron Castillo and asking him to look at what happened here, to look at the reports that are out there, and if, in fact, this district justice has a conflict of interest."
