now to
jerry sandusky
who is on
suicide watch
this morning, according to one of his lawyers. his attorneys are also saying they offered to resign before the case because they weren't allowed enough time to prepare for trial. even though
sandusky
will probably spend the rest of his
life behind bars
, the sordid case is far from over. we get more from
michael isikoff
.
>> reporter:
no sooner was
jerry sandusky
convicted of 45 counts of
child sex abuse
and led from the court in handcuffs than pennsylvania's top
law enforcement
official made clear there may be more charges against others to come.
>>
we can help the voices of victims be heard.
>> reporter:
attorney general linda
kelly
oversaw the three-year investigation that uncovered
sandusky
's abuse of young children.
>>
are you determined to get the full truth and continue this investigation?
>>
this investigation continues. i think that anyone that's associated with this case can tell you that we've been developing information even after the
grand jury
presentment.
>> reporter:
there are now at least three major investigations into the
sandusky
scandal. by
kelly
's office, by the
u.s. justice department
and by former
fbi director
,
louis freeh
hired by
penn state
itself. they are focused on what
penn state
officials knew about
sandusky
's conduct, tim curley and gary schultz have already been charged with perjury relating to what they knew about the now famous
2001
shower incident involving
sandusky
and a
young boy
reported to them by former
graduate assistant
mike mcqueary
. sources tell nbc news that
kelly
's office is closely reviewing e-mails showing that former
penn state
president
graham spanier
also had knowledge of that incident and agreed that it would be humane to
sandusky
not to report the mcqueary allegation to local authorities. curley, schultz and spanier all deny any wrongdoing. a lawyer for one of
sandusky
's victims says the inaction of
penn state
officials makes the school a prime target for civil suits.
>>
if those in power at
penn state
had taken action in the early
2000s
and stopped at nothing to see that justice was served on
jerry sandusky
, then my client would not have been molested in
2007
and
2008
.
