(Newser) – Jerry Sandusky has been released on $250,000 bail after spending a night in prison following a new round of child abuse charges. He paid the bail using real estate holdings and a certified check from his wife, the AP reports. The new accusations prompted another 12 counts of sex abuse charges against Sandusky; the total tally is now more than 50.

Time and time again humanity demonstrates how predictably pathetic we are when it comes to doing the right thing in spite of maintaining our own selfish comfort zone of lies and denial. Screw this lady, I hope she burns with her husband.

I'm not going to stick with our "presumed (possibly, perhaps in hell) innocent" until proven guilty in the court of law here...but I gotta say, after awhile....the wife has to STOP the madness. Maybe she left the house and didn't hear the kid, who knows, but I don't think I would believe it's normal if my husband was having "sleepovers" one on one with kids....*raises eyebrows*.  I have to wonder why she's sticking by him so hard? Maybe she's in denial, maybe she's in shock, who knows....if she had a hand in these horrible tragedies I hope she gets called on it and punished, but if she is just a naive woman, who was mentally a victim of his manipulative ways, I hope she goes to a therapists and gets some major help...cuz this woman....obviously needs it.
